Exo k4 beginner

[Hilongbow]

I bought a K4 5000 last year and have used it for 1 overnight hunt and a bunch of training hikes. I will say that it can handle 40lbs loads quite well. For the overnight I pretty much filled it but I needed to carry 5L of water and some warmer clothes, and had some luxuries to share with friends. I didn't use the lid on that trip, though. 15 miles and felt great at the end, no fatigue from the heavy load (started around 40lbs and ended around 25lbs).

Unlike others, however, I do not find it to be a great daypack, at least for archery. I don't think it excels with light loads, it sort of "floats" on my back and restricts movement. YMMV. I think it's an excellent option for overnights and the only reason I won't continue using it is if I upgrade to the K4x.

Anyone find any literature on how much the K4X is going to weigh? For any given bag size?

I’m new to western elk and muley hunting and backpack hunting in general I’m from Pennsylvania and was wondering if an Exo k4 pack specifically the k4 5000 is worth spending the money for as a beginner or if there’s a similar more budget friendly option I should look at first or “buy once cry once”. I’m also curious on whether I should get a 3600 vs 5000 for a 3-4 day spike camping setup for archery and maybe some rifle outings any help is appreciated

Where are you in Pennsylvania? I’m heading to the keystone nationals to watch one of my cylinder heads and engines run. I will gladly bring one of my k4s and meet ya along the way.
