Kids hunting pack

[jpuckett]

What kids pack do yall run? I’d like to find a pack that could eventually carry a little weight for my son’s camp outs in scouts and our hunting trips.

I got this pack for my kids 10 and 11. I figured I’d be carrying the tent and stove. They’d just need bag, pad, clothing, water, food and a few smaller items. I figured they grow so fast I’m not going all out.

Call me biased, but in my opinion these are the best ones out there.

I bought my boys kuiu venture 1800’s. They seem to fit them ok but they don’t pack much more than their food and clothing. The 12 year old packed one deer and he didn’t complain about it.

They’re a pretty cheap pack but they were also inexpensive so we kind of got what we paid for.

Osprey are cheap and sized for kids.

The Durston Kakwa 55 has been an excellent choice for my 10 year old. The 2lb base weight of the pack compared to other kids options is dramatic. We did two multi-day backpack hunting trips this year, and my son loves the simple functionality along with the fit of the pack.

I don't see any reason for him to pack meat at this age. The Kakwa has enough space to stash my sleeping bag and possibly a few other bulky items when space is needed in my Barney's Pack for meat.

We owned an osprey Ace 50 pack, and I was happy to get rid of it in favor of the Durston.

My son uses the Kids Osprey Ace 50. His load last yr was 19 lbs and this year he went in at 22 lbs. He weighs 80 lbs and the bag fits him great.

We have two Western Edge gear packs, and they've been great. They're the only packs I found made for smaller kids and still pack some weight. My daughter and older son(17/15 now) has outgrown them, but my 12yo is still using his. I'm torn between selling it cause I hate storing stuff or holding on to it for grandkids. My daughter packed out 40-50lbs of Oryx in it when she was 14 and my sons helped pack my elk out two years ago. Plus multiple camping and hunting trips. We've had them since 2021 at least.

I just ordered my son a Dueter Fox. It is largely accepted in the backpacking world to be the best adjustable kids option. It was on flash sale on Amazon for $96 last week.

It gets here Thursday, I'll report bacl after some use.

I bought this as a beginner pack for my boy. It's not only a great size as small but, it grows with the child. It is money well spent. My son's pack has now done every mountain with a fire tower in the Adirondacks of NY and has...

I bought this on eBay for $56… really hoping we can make this work at least until he decides how much he liked scouts and hunting with me.
