Mountain Hauler 4000 Reviews

Very loud

Pack is very well designed, however I’m worried the material will be extremely loud in the bush this fall

Solid bag for a 2-4

Solid bag for a 2-4 day backcountry hunt. Enough space for all the needs, not the luxuries.

Great Pack

Extremely well-built and surpassed all of my expectations.

Mega pack

I recently went on a 3 day backpacking trip, this pack was an excellent choice. There was plenty of room for my sleeping bag, pad and clothes. Added in a 3 liter water bladder and 64 oz water jug. The pack loaded down fit well and secure and I loved the options of being able to tighten down every section and point on the pack allowing it to feel more secure when trekking. The shoulder straps are well padded as well as the waist belt and low back padding. Never felt any pressure points along my trek either. Covered lots of steep terrain and heavy brush cover and this pack performed flawlessly. Thanks Sitka for a quality pack, it will definitely be used a lot in the future.

Love it to climbing up

Versatile Pack

This is a solid mountain pack that can be used as a day pack, but also stretched out into a multi-day pack. The meat shelf works well, but is internal which makes it less than desirable for me. I have packed out a few Mule Deer on some backcountry hunts and it worked out pretty slick. I wouldn’t classify the mountain hauler series with other packs made by companies that are dedicated strictly to backpacks, but is still a top-tier product.

I absolutely love this pack.

I absolutely love this pack. It is everything I was looking for and more. Rugged, well put together and holds everything I need it too.

Pack is exceptional. Multiple pockets

Pack is exceptional. Multiple pockets and great size for an all day hunt or packing an animal out of tuff terrain.

Mountain Hauler 4000

I recently purchased the mountain hauler 4000. The pack is comfortable and expands to a pretty large capacity. The pockets are large and able to carry lots of gear. My only wish is that it was a little quieter material. The areas we hunt are brushy and sounds a little scratchy. I would certainly buy this pack again.

Awesome backpack

Amazing backpack, can’t wait to hunt with it next year. Excellent quality.

Mountain Hauler 4000

I love my mountain hauler 4000 I used to to pack a 5 pt Bull elk out of the mountains in Colorado this past season for clients it handled the load with ease and it was very comfortable on me best pack I’ve ever used

Well built with durable fabric.

Well built with durable fabric. The frame and adjustment features are suitable for through hiker endurance. I have logged many miles with an average 45-50 load and can honestly say that this pack is just as solid & functional as my old mule pack.

Great pack....light weight....quality is all

Great pack....light weight....quality is all there...very happy with the purchase. Totally recommend this product.

My son and I both

My son and I both have this pack in M/L. I’m 6’0” and about 180lbs, he is 5’9, 140. With the adjustment system on the frame the same size pack worked well for both of us. If you’re a giant I’d go with the L/XL. We carried this pack for multiple scouting trips, some pronghorn hunts, and elk hunts. It is a great pack and held up well to everything we threw at it. The only meat hauling I did was a couple of cow elk someone else shot, but the pack worked great for those. Since the hauling shelf is on the inside you’ll want to pack your extra clothing in other compartments. When full of meat it limits how much other stuff you can haul, but the internal shelf system keeps the load nice and high for anyone with not-so-young lower back. The way it’s set up you can adjust how that weight rides, which I like.

This pack is able to

This pack is able to get small for quick day hunts but has the ability to expand like crazy for extra gear. I used it last year for archery elk scouting in August and the first week of September in the Big Horns. We had weather swings hot to cold, dry to wet. This pack held up, kept the dust out, rain out and gear safe on my back. I love the outside jacket pouch for easy access to a puffy. Will continue to use it for my everyday hunt pack for big game, upland and ducks/geese.

I really like the way

I really like the way the pack is designed. It just fits my way of packing. My only complaint is that the mesh pockets on the side are not durable enough.

I would love to give

I would love to give this pack 5 stars as it has performed perfectly as advertised during my most reason deer season. However, after only a total of 8 hunting days, the stitching of the top pocket is starting to unravel. I’ll now likely need to deal with sending it in for repair but it’ll need last through my elk season as-is. Other than that defect, it hauls heavy loads of meat and gear with ease and you’ll be comfortable throughout the entire hunt wearing this pack.

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.

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!!
