It depends on time of the year, in the winter I need to carry or pull ~20kg of stuff. How much fishing or hunting gear do you want to bring?

Good packs hug your body tight as a tick, not as tough as some of the military bergans

I used mine for a 4 day 3 night mountain hunt in New Zealand. The pack was brilliant. We were packing meat out so it just kept getting heavier, weighed in at the end as 32kg plus rifle. The kiwi who took me was carrying 39kg plus rifle and made it look easy, I was struggling by the end to be honest. The atmos took it fine though, no stretch or strain marks on it

My father used to load his Haglöfs Alaska backpack with moosemeat then we hunted in my home village outer area, now they use an ATV for what work. A backpack with the frame outside are easyer to load with different gear and stuff.

This week's adventure, the fishing was dire as was the weather but dinner round the fire and a catch up with old mates was worth the trip

Treat the titanium spork like a pair of duds, throw at a tree and if it doesn't stick, it doesn't get washed

Or take the raw ingredients and make your own stew as raw veg will keep much longer than cooked veg.
