Best Pack for Bivi Hunting

[bassbuck07]

A couple of the hunts I will be doing this year will be packing in and bivi hunting. I have an eberlestock x1 now but wondering what pack everyone else has. I don't care about the price, I want to the best/most comfortable pack for bivi hunting. What kind of packs does everyone have??

You said it.  I am running the Kifaru Bikini frame with DT1 bag.  It doesn't get much better.

That is likely the best on the market. Extremely comfortable, able to haul more weight than you can, and bomb proof. Quality is top notch, as is customer service. The problem is, they are made to order, and are several weeks out. Stone Glacier Terminus is another great option, as is the Kuiu Icon 7200.

Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Kuiu. Take your pick, all around the same price. Im running an older Kuiu Icon 6000 at the moment. I think ill be trying the Stone Glacier out next year.

This. Amazing comfort.

Amen.  I am rocking a DT2 bag with duplex frame but a DT1 with bikini maximizes your space to weight carry to comfort ratio in my mind.

A DT2 bag fits all my gear for a 9 day hunt.

Or you might try the new-to-the-market Paradox pack:  http://paradoxpacks.com/lightweight-backpacks/.  Its only been on the market for a few weeks.  It has some innovation.

Arc'teryx altra 85... very comfortable pack up to 120lbs... then my buddies' Mystery ranch is a bit better when really loaded with weight.

REI XT-85 here - probably the best "hunting" pack out of the mountaineering segment (at least the ones that don't cost a fortune.  It's kind of a budget option, but it's organized well for hunting, perfectly comfy for me, and takes everything I throw at it.  It also compresses down really well to use as a daypack.  I have the newest model, supposedly a previous generation of the pack had some occasional issues...

Check out the hornhunter full curl system pm me if you have any questions

[elkman54]

Is Horn Hunter coming out with any new models this year?  I too am wanting to purchase a Full Curl System, just wondering if there will be anything new to it this year

I have a Mystery Ranch crew cab. Great pack, holds everything i need with room to spare. only complaint i have is that it weighs in on the heavy side, pack alone weighs just under 8 lbs, but the thing is bomb proof

Elkman they just changed out a few things on the curl pack for this yr. The fabric was changed to make the pack lighter the weight of the pack was reduced by 1 pound. the back foam was changed to a foam mesh to allow it to breath which will make it cooler the shoulder straps are also mesh foam now as well also the big bag attachment is all light fabric and one color stone or brown. They made a great do it all pack even better
