[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1227228, member: 54178"] I've found I can carry the following in my little REI Flash day pack/stuff sack: 1. Hydration bladder W/hose 2. food for the day 3. 1st aid kit 4. butchering gear & trash bags for meat 5. extra clothes (down vest, gloves, rain parka, etc.) 6. "10 essentials" for hiking (headlamp, map & compass and anything not already mentioned) 7. 1/2 of a Thermarest sit pad (goes in hydration bladder pocket, against my back) If I get a deer or elk the backstraps go into a trash bag and I go back to camp for my backpack to carry out the rest of meat. BTW, I have found EVERY Eberlestock pack over-built with needlessly heavy Cordura, thick webbing straps and big buckles. Unless it's for the military this extra weight is useless. What? Are you going to drag the **** thing over sharp talus?? Eric B. [/QUOTE]
