Frequently Asked Question
If you are needing a daypack that has the ability to pack out if needed, we'd recommend the 22mag, Stryker XL, or Nomad. They are different in size and layout but are strictly recommend for day trips. These three will require a frame. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAIROu9lZaO/
The 22mag is great for those that need organization or are running camera gear. The pack has a clam shell opening, which makes it easy to get in and out of the pack. This pack does have a meat shelf for the option of packing out if needed. https://kifaru.net/store/packs/day-packs/22-mag-gen-2/
The Stryker is a daypack integrated on a cargo panel. This gives you the space needed for day hunts, carrying a stand, or packing out meat. This tend to be the preferred pack for whitetail as well. The panel also allows you to run additional gear if needed. Just pair this with a camp bag or dry bag and you can run this for a few extra days. https://kifaru.net/store/packs/day-packs/kifaru-stryker-xl-hauler-daypack/
The Nomad is a wing system that allows you to run additional gear or meat between the wings if needed. The wings will function as your daypack when the middle is not in use. We do recommend the Sherman Pocket or Grab it to be purchase with this pack as they will function as a shelf for any additional gear or packing out meat in between the wings. https://kifaru.net/store/packs/day-packs/nomad-2/
For an internal system, strictly for carry gear, we recommend the Shape Charge, 14'R, or MiniKeg. They are different in size and layout but are strictly recommend for day trips and do not offer the ability to pack out (at least comfortably).
Shape Charge is an EDC style pack that has the same layout as the 22mag and is great for organization and camera gear. Also has a clam shell opening that allows you to get in and out of the pack easily. Weight carry capacity is between 20-40 lbs.https://kifaru.net/store/packs/day-packs/shape-charge/
The 14'r has a slightly better suspension than the Shape Charge. This pack has a duffle style opening and top entry as well. There are tabs on the outside for additional pockets if more space is needed. This pack has load lifters so max weight it can handle is about 60-65lbs comfortably. https://kifaru.net/store/packs/day-packs/14r/
The MiniKeg is the newest of these packs with a better suspension. It uses the duplex shoulder straps, belt, and lumbar so it will be the most comfortable with heavy weight. Max is about 80lbs. This also has a duffle style opening and top entry into the pack. https://kifaru.net/store/packs/day-packs/minikeg/
