[QUOTE="tt35, post: 2573016, member: 25362"] Once I set up camp, I hunt with a full-size pack that has compression straps to cinch down on my day gear. That way I can take a full load of meat out on the first trip out. Keep in mind that the light-to-ultralight backpacker may only have 35-45 pounds of gear. There's an infinite difference when getting up to 90 or 100 pounds of meat on your back. If you're willing to take enough loads out, you can max out as light as you want but really heavy loads require a good load-bearing pack IME. Also, heavy loads handle best close to your back, so a scabbard may not be the best for a "come out heavy" load. I run a Kifaru. Heavier than some but it'll handle a load! [/QUOTE]
