What's your favorite pack/s and what are its purpose/es

[loco99]

Kifaru 44 mag is what I use for all of my hunts. The new exo k4 packs are also intriguing. Only downside to the 44 mag in my opinion is the meat shelf is a bit of a hassle.

Does the bag have enough structure to handle heavy loads (80+)

Yeah, I don't have any worries about it structurally. The material for the bag with all of the straps distribute the load well. And they metal 3 bar sliders are tough. Having a couple extra straps to tie the meat to the frame before putting the bag back over the meat can be helpful with keeping the meat in place. It just begins to get to be a lot of straps and messing around so I have typically just used a contractor bag and put the meat directly into the pack. Front elk quarters barely fit on my bull. Larger bulls you may need to pull off the shank in order for it to fit.
