[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1247447, member: 54178"] I'm with "Hi desert" on the size of a hunting backpack. My Osprey EXOS 58 (size L) is actually 60 liters plus 2.5 liters in the two side pockets I've added. If I need to I can add my winter Thermarest TrailPro mattress in its stuff sack to the pack's bottom straps and have more room inside. My GPS and camera ride in zippered pouches clipped on my shoulder straps. My SPOT rescue/locator beacon is strapped to the top of my pack so it gets a good view of the GPS satellites and the SPOT receiver satellite. (My wife can follow my hiking progress at home on a SPOT website too map. Plus she can get pre-arranged messages from me via the SPOT beacon.) If I REALLY need a big pack I have an older Dana Designs Terraplane that can extend to 80 liters. (UGH!) Eric B. BTW, I carry my rifle on my pack's right side with a Kifaru "Gun Bearer" setup. Very handy for getting it quickly up for a shot. Also good B/C both hands are free for using my hiking poles on steep terrain. [/QUOTE]
