Hunting backpack as a diaper bag?

[SixteenG]

Strange question, but does anyone have a recommendation on a hunting style backpack that could double as a decent diaper bag as well? My wife and I are expecting our second child in January. She chose the diaper bag on the first kid and it didn’t hold up too well when I would take it with the kid on adventures. I’m looking for a bag that is durable and has a fair amount of compartments on it and enough space to store enough for both kids. I also do a fair amount of rucking while pushing the stroller at the moment.

It would be nice if the bag had enough room I could slide weights in it for when I’m out on a walk with the family. Basically looking for a pack that I can use to ruck, double as a diaper bag for two kids, and when we outgrow this stage have a backpack for whatever else down the road.

Thanks for any ideas

I used the Kifaru Antero 2. Internal frame, enough pockets and can use as EDC or dayhunt bag.

Edit.. I have a tactical Baby diaper bag Id let go cheap!

Can you send me the link to it? I’m definitely interested in buying something used if I can find the right pack. Thank you.

Not really answering your question, just things to consider.

I just used a small messenger bag with my two daughters for a diaper bag. It would get shoved into a pack or thrown over my shoulder under the pack.

You need much less than you think in a diaper bag.

If your wife wants a large one, then get yourself a small one and have two.

Or, just get a new pack and uses this is an excuse. A medical pack such as the Conterra CrossBow II or a camera pack will give better organization.

For rucking I would just use your hunting frame and attach the bag to it.

I wouldn’t consider them good for hunting, but photography day packs work great as diaper bags and are available in every size and dividers are very adjustable. Lowepro has made decent stuff for a long time and many used photography bags don’t get much use. Our oldest has a gigantic diaper bag for the grandson with enough diapers to last a week, enough clothes for a dozen kids, extra shoes, and half of it is a catchall for unneeded food and redundant bottles. They worry about running out of something and only want to stock it once a week, but a small bag you simply check before heading out can be quite small and fit into a larger bag if needed.

I found a really small tactical looking bag that worked great, but everyone assumed it was a concealed carry bag and I got tired of parents always giving me side eye, and switched to photography bags.

We also used the Kifaru Antero. Ours was a gen 1 with a Kifaru organizer pouch. Works great.

Almost forgot, a fly fishing sling bag is also a favorite.

Kuiu Divide…. light and comfortable, removable waist belt which I normally have off and a water resistant divide pocket that you can throw dirty clothes or other things in that is easily wiped down if needed. It also doesn’t scream hunting or tactical which I like.
