Just wondering whether anyone has any info on some good packs for extended trips out bush say 2-7days hiking. I was looking at the badlands 2800 pack but it's hard to actually determine the size by looking at pics online. at the moment I use an army sniper pack but it lacks any frame so I was after somthing a bit more comfortable that will carry all my gear but won't impede to much since I usually hunt with the pack on.

What sort of capacity do you want? Some people can't seem to cram their stuff into anything less than 70 litres, others are happy with 45 litres, for a week or so in the bush.
I've got a Macpac (NZ) 70 litre packback and I reckon it's too big and heavy. Maybe I'm just getting older and weaker. I never fill it up completely, so I'm left carrying something that's unnecessarily large and heavy.
I'd have a look at the Huntec and Ridgeline range of packs. Something in the 45 to 55 litre range. The Ridgeline packs are covered with polar fleece (camo or green) and may pick up burrs. They both have internal adjustable frames.
Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for.

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.
