Need Day Pack Recommendation for African Hunting

[MSR_Gal]

I need advice picking a good day pack for hunting in Africa. I need something to carry spare ammo, binoculars, water, snack/lunch, rain gear, camera, etc. This will be for mainly spot and stalk hunting or occasionally hunting from a hide/blind.

Given you are (presumably) paying for someone else to carry most of the emergency supplies, I'd have a look at something slim like the StoneyCreek Streamline (p39 of http://www.stoneycreek.net.nz/catalogue.html) essentially a camelback with a few hunting specific additions.

There is of Course the leather Blaser rucksack, but I'd doubt you want to carry that much gear in Africa

Gun Barrel,

That looks like it would work well for my circumstances. Is it available anywhere in the U.S.?

You could see if these guys ship to the US

Did it on his checkout. $30 to the USA for shipping. From the looks of his checkout calculator he ships pretty much world wide. Nice stuff.

Is this your first trip to Africa? I can honestly tell you that you will not have to carry much at all.
Where are you heading to?

I have never worn a dayack on any of my African hunts.

I use a Filson shoulder bag to carry the stuff I need in the truck.

I have one from Crooked Horn Outfitters that has worked very well for me on various hunts.It had a nice tope pocket for binoc's and spotting scope. pockets for water bottles and easy zip openings to get into your stuff.
