How much does your LRP weigh?
Long Range Hunting Packs! (all day packs to overnight packs)
1. What pack do you have, or which one are you going to buy? 2. Anything unique you like to have in the field? 3. How much does it weigh without water and food added? I've got an eberlestock, new this year. With spotting scope, tripod and all gear on board it weighs right at 24 lbs. I like to keep a HD needle and heavy duty thread (stolen from my wife's sewing rm., shhhh) for repairing broken straps. I also keep one mil. style chem. light stick. Found that when I get an antelope or muley down in open prairie it makes for easy locate at night. |

Both of my pack weight around the same. Kifaru long hunter guide model 7200 Wieghts 6.2 pounds and my Badland 4500 weights 6.5 lbs. Both are great packs the Kifaru is the better of the two packs.

I'll second the quality of the Kifaru. I have one of theirScout packs, it will outlast me.

RE: How much does your LRP weigh?
How on earth do you guys keep your packs 7lbs and under?:eek: Am I hauling around a lot of useless stuff or something. Minus water and food, take out the spotting scope and tripod - I'm still looking at about 18lbs.
I've basically got a small med kit, a stuff sack with survival gear(2lb), range finder, knife, knife sharpener,head lamp, small flash light, head sock, gloves, extra poly socks, poly pull-over, spare shirt,(I sweat like a pig so I need a change up), garbage bag, camera, game bags, and a few other odds and ends that don't add up to a pound. However, I do carry spare batteries for my range finder, GPS and head lamp also (I know that adds a little bit). I think the empty pack itself must weigh 3lbs. I go through this stuff a couple times a year just to make sure nothing has found it's way in that doesn't need to be there. Like that big rock my father-in-law put there to slow me down once. |

A normal day trip about 8 lbs. On a back country week long hunt, I can live all week on a 35 lb pack (and be very comfortable with a shelter too)
My daypack is a Blacks Creek Alaskan My backcountry pack is a camptrails moosepack with a Mc Kinley frame. |
