There are hundreds of backpacks that you can buy today. Here I have made a guide for you guys, so that you have a better idea on what a good quality backpack is and the price range that you will want to spend. This article will take all the confusion out of buying any backpacks for hunting. I hope that you learn something valuable from this article!

Size Of BackPack

Backpacks are divided into multiple categories, but there are only two categories that we will focus in on. There are single day Backpacks, which are around 3,000 square cubic inches. The single day backpacks are way easier to carry. They only have enough space to carry a change of clothes, extra ammo, scopes, trail cameras, and other small hunting gear.

Multi-day Hunting Backpacks are around 4,500+ square cubic inches of room. These packs are generally larger, heavier, and not as easy to carry. It is important to consider the distance of travel and how long you will be out in the woods, before considering a multi-day Backpack.

Now that we have covered the two main sizes of backpacks, we can cover the size overview. Size is the amount it can carry, and fit to your body. The key to the size of the Backpack is the comfort. If you are comfortable carrying a larger backpack, then get one.

Most people prefer a smaller Backpack so that the have more mobility. If the backpack isn’t comfortable or doesn’t fit right, it can cause back pains. You want the backpack to be about the length of your torso.

Adjustments Of backpack

Talking about the fit of the backpack leads us into the adjustments of the backpack. You definitely want a backpack that can adjust, this allows you to customize the fit of the Backpack to you. There is no one size fits all when it comes to Hunting Backpacks. This again will lead to a more comfortable experience.

I like my backpacks to be adjustable in the shoulder straps and I like it to have an adjustable waist belt for back support. A lot of backpacks will have a nice back support system in the back areas of the bag. I find that this give a lot of comfort and keeps your posture good.

Features

You definitely will want to pay close attention to the features of each Backpack. You will love a Backpack that is fully loaded with all the feature possible. That will make your life in the woods so much easier, which will lead to more enjoyment. Below I have listed some nice features to have on Hunting Backpacks.

• Silent zippers
• Quiet material, so you don’t spook the animal you’re hunting
• A weapon carrier, makes it easy to carry bow or riffle. Allows hands free walking.
• Water Bladder to quench any thirst while in the woods
• Rain cover, most Backpacks are rain proof but it is nice to have the cover just in case.
• ALOT of pockets

Uses

The BackPack should allow you to have hands free walking. If you are hunting with a weapon you should be able to pull up or draw back quickly. You should be able to fit at least a change of clothes or an extra couple of layers in case you are hunting in cold weather. It should have many pockets for easy organization. You should be able to hold Extra gear and other small items in your bag. Consider the length of your trip and the terrain that you will be hunting.

Design Of BackPack

The last thing that we are going to cover in this purchase guide is the design of the Backpack. There are two frame types that you can purchase. One is the internal frame which is found mostly in single day packs, they are more for comfort and lighter loads.

Next you have the external frame, this goes with the Multi-day Backpacks. The external frame is meant for carrying meat and heavier hunting equipment. So now that we have covered the design of the BackPack, we can talk about some other designs on the Backpacks.

Having a lot of padding on the backpack is a great design, feature, and will make you more comfortable. I think the most important thing is comfort and storage. I think a backpack designed to hold your bow and one that has a lot of pockets for storage and organization is perfect. We are all different, so hopefully we have found the perfect Backpack for you!
