I'm looking to buy a new backpack that I can use hunting/camping. I'd like to hear comments from ya'll on your backpacks with similar features. Here's what I'm looking for: - Large volume (around 60 liters)
- Internal/external frame preferred
- Camo pattern
- Customizable attachments
- Lots of outer attach points/pockets
- Prefer a military grade pack
- Under or around $200
At this point I am considering two packs ... Does anyone have experience / comments on these two packs? Does anyone have a better pack? 1) Eberlestock F2 Transformer 2) USMC GEN 2 Marpat Woodland ILBE Main Pack

I stopped using a big(ger) pack two seasons ago. Found that if it was bigger I just put more heavy crap in it that I didn't need. Got tired of dragging extraneous stuff all over the woods.
Went to a smaller every day hunt pack and very happy. If I go back in where I might desire to quarter in stead of drag out, I will take a bit bigger pack I use a small pack for most hunts but if I'm going to camp overnight (or two or three) that ain't gonna work

1st looks nice, but I can vouch for the USMC ILBE...Spent a lot of time and many miles with one of those on my back. So it's comfortable with a decent sized load? Durable?

Did you use one with the additional assault pack that connects to the back?

I had been looking at the Eberlestock Blue Widow, but think I may go with Kifaru. Right now, I have a Blacks Creek Canadian(no longer made). I've packed one deer out with it and used it on one elk hunt. It's great for 1-3 day type hunts.

Put a lot of weight and a lot of miles with the ilbe. It can take a beating and is pretty comfortable.
