Interested in what light Travel, Adventure, and Safari Packs you all use? I’m not talking about a Guide Packs or even a large Hunting Packs used here in the Western US! And I’m also not talking about a book bag used for travel or school! But a serious Adventure Pack that you would use for travel, adventure, hiking, Safari, or GoBag!

I use a Millican “Smith the Roll Pack” and have travelled with it and used it for my 72hr GoBag for years! It has been tossed around, thrown in pick-up truck beds, rained on, and thrown over my shoulder for years and has done a great job! Still looks new and travels well with the stitching and buckles having zero issues as it has no external zippers, a bonus in my book!
It’s large enough to hold two 1.5l bottles, a front pocket for documents, the main pack holds three days of emergency food, backup pharmaceuticals, small med bag, poncho, light jacket, light blanket, para cord, multi-tool, 10x10 tarp for lean-to, fire starting tools, and cup and plate! Attached to the front single molle attachment point is an Army Trauma Med Pack!
Also fits a Beretta 84, two spare mags, and a box of 50 extra rounds when used as a GoBag. All this in a very light, small, durable, pack that looks unassuming…
Now obviously the contents of the Millican are changed up depending on the travel, destination, and the mission of the pack…

Curious what you are using?

For a safari the smaller the better. I use a 5.11 sling pack and it normally stay on the truck.
 
I am another fan of 5.11 packs and have 3 sizes:D

But this is my "go bag"

 
I use a 5:11 pack also and keep all the essentials in it: first aid kit, extra ammo, extra knife, fire starter, paracord, emergency blanket, energy bars etc, etc. It is mainly a survival back pack just in case something goes wrong. 90% of the time it stays in the truck....Go figure

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
