Kifaru hellbender with camp bag

[willywonka]

Anyone use the hellbender with the camp bag? Mostly need a daypack for training and hiking, but will need more room for hiking and hunting, trips wondering how well that setup works?

Will work fine for day trips and scouting trips, but if you’re doing anything overnight and expecting to pack out meat you’ll want a bigger bag.

I use a Stryker for 5 day hunts. Hellbender will be fine.

Edit: I use a 51 Liter (~3100ci) OR dry bag for camp gear. The additional bag is 3.6oz. Makes for a very versatile system that is both compact for day hunting, easily transitions to haul meat, and can accommodate gear for 5 days in cool to cold temps (Mid-Oct., CO, 12k feet).

I use a mystery ranch mule with a dry bag like @prm and it works great. The mule is a little less cubic inches than the Kifaru Hellbender.

I strap my bow on the side instead of back when I’m hiking in initially for better weight balance

I hunt primarily with the Hellbender. I really like the pack. Getting and using the meat shelf is easy and works rather well. I have it on a 26" frame.

I have not used a camp bag, but I have put all sorts of other stuff on there, including lots of quarters.

My only complaint is it's strappy. Which is typical of kifaru.
