Mountain Hauler 4000 Reviews

I bought this pack for

I bought this pack for a 5 day backcountry elk hunt. This was my first hunt of this type and I learned a lot from the experience. The Mountain Hauler 4000 was my favorite piece of gear that I purchased for the hunt. It’s very comfortable and it functioned exactly how I hoped my pack would. I think that Sitka packs should be included in the conversation with other big name pack brands. Unfortunately, the only test I wasn’t able to put the 4000 through was hauling out meat.

Absolutely love this pack! It

Absolutely love this pack! It has just the right amount of storage to be organized but not too much as to over compartmentalize. It'll haul any load out that you can throw at it and it is very comfortable fully loaded. The only thing I would like to see is the option to remove the bag from the frame and have an external load shelf in order to haul out meat, plus a fully loaded bag with my gear attached.

Just used this bag on

Just used this bag on a week long mule deer spot and stalk and loved it. Super comfortable and user friendly. Also carried a spotting scope and tripod a couple of days and it handled the extra weight very well. The adjustments allowed me to customize the fit and it made for comfortable hikes. I put the extra small bag on the waist strap as well as my 2200 range finder on the other side for easy access. It also worked very well with my Sitka Bino harnesses. The only thing i need to figure out is a little better way to strap my bow on. Thanks Sitka!!
