Hey brother, I actually was lucky to use the 5400 pack last season for a high country mule deer hunt in Washington state. I used this pack and boy when I say the 17 mile trail to get to our spot was rough (it was brutal, so many downed trees covered the path all the way there) but the pack was super comfy and surprisingly my gun was able to stay attached to the quick release system they have built in. I thought that would be a problem because it doesn’t feel super secure but it really is. My buddy and I packed out a nice mule deer and that was heavy. But the pack was super comfy and easy to adjust on the move so I didn’t have to stop a bunch. I would recommend this pack to anyone mostly because of the frame and the quick release options. Super super nice and the pack came with so many pouches I can use for a bunch of stuff.
