Fantastic gear! Perfect for multiple over night backcountry hunt.

Mountain Hauler 4000

A lot of space, really nice for long hikes!

Great Pack!

Built with quality materials and relatively light for what it is. Holds a lot of stuff and the design and function is well thought out.

Worth the price

Taking on a elk hunt and have plenty of room for supplies and the meat shelf looks to be quality built.

Great pack and easy to

Great pack and easy to use. Very comfortable and very durable.

Great pack! So light weight

Great pack! So light weight and designed really well. Would absolutely recommend for your hunting pack that will last you forever.

Moose hunt pack out

Overall loaded well with weight. Was disappointed there was no accessibility to anything while frame was on. I’ve had cheaper packs that gave me access to gloves, nets, knives, etc. too small for moose quarters with bone in.

They Thought of Everything

Sitka thought of everything when designing this pack. Ease of us and comfortability were at the top of that list. The various functions will be extremely handy in the field. Looking forward to putting it to use.

Needed New Bag

Fits everything I need and is true to size

Bought this for a Moose -Mountain Goat hunt in BC. Pack worked well, I traveled light So everything I expected to take with actual fit, even the travel clothes for the ride home. Plenty of places to add the extras that you like to have for the demands of the remote hunt. I did break this in by taking the pack on weekly 4-5 mile hikes each ( highly Suggest this ). Comfortable from the get go but after a few wears it's even better.

Good Pack, Some Quality Concerns

I used this pack once for my annual elk hunt. Overall, the pack held up well taking 3 trips up and down a mountain side. The webbing on the side holder does not seem to be very durable and tore after only one use. I sent the customer service a warranty request and they said that this is normal wear and tear. So in my opinion, if the pack is tearing after one hike outdoors there are some quality concerns.

So far I like it going to Kodiak Alaska next week deer hunting I think it will be perfect 👌

Very comfortable, watch the video on how to load it

Great midsize pack. Compact enough for still hunting but expandable for longer pack out hunts. Materials seem durable with good water resistance.

Hauler 4000

Absolutely love the bag but it does run a little small.

pack is well designed and comfortable. compression straps help secure loads and keep gear, clothing and equipment tight. foam padded shoulder strips and hip belt are very comfortable and keep pack tight against my shoulders, back and hips. i don’t get any sway.

Carried a great bull with no issues

absolutely fantastic pack, very comfortable for long days on the mountain. carried well right around 100 pounds in it and it rode on my back great. Would recommend to anyone. not a huge fan of the internal meat shelf system but it does work with this design. the straps for the head and antlers is really good design. makes securing the head and cape to the pack very secure

I have yet to use

I have yet to use the product yet, but I have packed it with everything. It seems to hold everything well.

I just got to use

I just got to use this pack for the first time on an elk hunt this week. It has about every feature I would want in a multi day/ meat hauling bag. The frame seems to fit true to size the buckles and straps all seem to be in the right places and I hauled around 50# in it for about a mile, and was impressed with the way it handled it. Not a comprehensive test, but first impressions tell me that I am going to really like this pack. The only negative thing I could find to say is that the material used is louder than I would like, but I will sacrifice some noise for overall durability, as other packs I have used that aren't as noisy have had the material fail. I'm anxious to put more miles on and see how this pack holds up, but I believe its going to be good!

Great pack

absolutely amazing pack. I love how it fits and easily loads up

I got the solid green

I got the solid green one, not sure if the cammo version has the same materials, but it is a little bit noisier than some of the competitor packs I've used in terms of zipper and fabric rustling. You can haul 3 days worth of gear, or an elk quarter, but you cannot haul both at the same time. Very sturdy, very adaptive to fitting me right, loads of straps for secure fit and adjustments. Comfortable to wear for miles and hours on your feet. I like the attention to detail for the load out mode usage.

Great pack

Great pack. Comfortable fit

Decent so far

Feels like a solid bag and can’t wait to load it up

Love it!

As described. . I chose this pack over others for the features and have loved it.

Amazing pack

When i first got this pack i started playing around with all the straps and configuring the pack around. It compresses down very small and perfect for a day hunt but then expands to a huge pack to easily pack out meat and your gear. The description or videos don't really show you all the cool little things that the pack has to offer. It's like they took 100 experienced hunters and everything they wanted on a pack for them they incorporated everything. It really is a well thought out pack. I loaded the pack heavy and hunted opening archery and i felt better than i ever have. I also loaded it a little lighter for the following hunts where it was 100 degrees and wasn't going to be hiking as far and the pack compressed perfectly. For me, it is the perfect pack to take for a simple day hunt to a 3 day backpacking hunt. There are some people that have said the material is loud and i agree it's not soft and silent like some other packs but i feel like the material is more durable. Also if i am digging into the pack, i'm not doing that when i am close to animals. Also i do not hunt in thick brush where this would be a problem.

Nice Pack

High quality all around

This pack is a great

This pack is a great pack for its price point. Plenty of room, comfortable straps and I am a bigger guy and the l/xl waistband fits great! This is easily adjustable and is an all around great pack.

Great day pack.

Great day pack.

Set it, forget it.

Carries weight very well. I was between the two sizes (this and the larger 6000+ Mountain Hauler); I’m glad I went with this size as it is very expansive. Great craftsmanship and intuitive design.

Beautiful backpack

Can't wait to use it on a back country Utah elk hunt this fall.

Great pack

Does everything is suppose to. It’s my second one. Works well for 5 day trips. Packed lots of game. Shoulder strap tore after many years use . Sitka replaced pack no questions asked.

Great backpack

I bought this for mule deer hunting in Colorado but also use it to pack my gear for a weekend hunting trip.

Great pack

Super comfy. Haven’t hauled meat yet but so far like it alot

great pack

I haven't used it on a hunt yet but it is very comfortable with about 100lbs loaded in it. i'm about 5'8-180, not sure I could make it much smaller it could go but it fits me well.

Tough and comfortable pack

I've used my previous version of this pack for the last 4 years and I've packed moose, elk and gear up to 140lbs and it had stood up well and felt pretty comfortable even with heavy weight. It's been pretty tough too as I've covered hundreds of kms with it in tough terrain while guiding in northern alberta Canada.

The pack is very comfortable

The pack is very comfortable and appears to be great quality. The material is pretty noisy, otherwise would have been 5 stars

Seems to be a solid pack. Has plenty of space and supports weight well

Mountain hauler 4000

Best bag in the industry!

Amazing pack.

Got the pack for an out west elk hunt. Thing is amazing!!! From rucking with the old ALICE pack and newer army ruck while in the army, this thing is a game changer!!!!

Not for tall men

The pack will not fit extremely tall men. I am 6’9 and the load lifters will not pull the load off the shoulders even when straps are set to XXL setting. Other than the fit not working at all for me personally, the bag is very durable and has well thought out construction, organization was very easy. I really wanted to love this pack - please specify torso length requirements/maximums in the description, or perhaps design a more universal or different sized frame.

Great pack

Great pack. Bought the 4000 for meat packing capacity but it shrinks down small for a day pack. Features galore and it took me a couple days to figure out how convenient they were. It did absolutely everything that I needed it to do well.

Mountain Hauler

Just got the pack and tried it out with a small load on a hike. Love this pack. Very comfortable and plenty of room. Noticed a small tear in one of the mesh pockets, Sitka immediately sent me a shipping label and I have sent it back for replacement. Customer service was awesome! I can’t wait to get the pack back and use it on upcoming Elk hunt. I would highly recommend this pack

Looks good. Haven’t got to
