Bigger than I thought but does everything I need it to do. Great for all day sits and packing the lone wolf or saddle gear in and out. One thing I would change is making a full depth pouch for a camelback.

10/10 very comfortable backpack with plenty of room for all your needs. My platform and sticks attach to the back of the pack and I put my bibs or jacket on the bottom of the back with the hide away straps. I have hiked several miles with this pack and it extremely comfortable. Very cushioned shoulder straps make this pack a dream! Go ahead and spend the money!

Tried this pack recently on a 9 day hunt in the Midwest for whitetail. The pack allowed to me attach all my saddle hunting items to it with ease while also holding my essential items such as saws, calls, beverages, snacks, extra layers and other misc item. Durable and quiet while I slipped in and out of the stand daily. Can’t wait to use it again next season!

I’ve a had few lake evening sits and so far have really enjoyed this pack. I take my fanatic coat off and strap it to the bottom while walking in. There is a ton of room and lots of pockets. With that being said, I would like to see some of the inside pockets be a little larger. The elastic pockets are so tight I can barely get my range finder in and out. Also the small pouch on the right shoulder strap could be a little deeper, that where I’ve found it handy to put a flash light but it’s not really deep enough to secure it. Maybe it’s meant for something else but that’s my $.02. Overall very happy with quality and size.

I own multiple Sitka packs and this is a favorite (in both EII and SA camo patterns). Great size for an all day sit, well designed organization and comfortable when loaded. External cargo straps are great for hauling a bow, Xbow or rifle. The easy access design when hung from the grommet in the top flap and having the main panel open makes grabbing gear silent and simple. Love to see similar model created but built 1/3 smaller.

I absolutely love this pack! I've been looking for a good quality, perfect size pack for a while now. I have finally found it. The bow holder straps work great. I love the fact that the top has a pull string button closer, instead of a noisy zipper. All the additional straps on the pack allow you to bring an extra jacket or any bulky items with ease. In my opinion, it's the perfect hunting pack.

Great gear bag. It has tons of space for all necessities. Like all the individual pockets so everything has a place. One thing I don’t understand why they added to the design are the zippers to close the lid. Not necessary. I leave them unzipped all the time as I don’t want to deal with them out in the field.

Bought this pack before 2023 hunting season with high hopes, I have a fair amount of Sitka gear and have been pleased with the vast majority of it. I do a ton of whitetail hunting in the SE and a new pack with a lot more function was needed. Here are my pros and cons. Pros: - loads of space, pockets tailored to about everything from an ozonics unit, to knives, collapsible saws, bow hanger….this list goes on. -straps, the pack has endless amounts of external straps for lashing gear to the pack. I ok thought out. -built with the quality and ruggedness you’d expect from Sitka, the pack is sturdy and well put together. I have no qualms with throwing it in the truck bed or strapping it to a climber. -comfortable, the pack fits well and does not chafe or rub on long treks. Cons: -specifically designed for water bottles, zero option for a bladder. This is a huge let down, would have been so easy to make a bladder an option. A bladder is quieter to use, requires less movement to use, holds far more liquid than bottles and is a much more efficient use of limited space. -no hip belt. Long packs through rugged terrain, aggressive e-bike rides, packing out heavy loads….some additional waste support would’ve been a cheap simple addition. -no dedicated place to keep a quiver during a hunt. I tend to think the majority of bow hunters shoot without a quiver on the side of the bow, this pack easily allows you to place your quiver in the main compartment but it STILL keeps you from seamlessly, quietly, quickly accessing other items. The addition of a plastic, pvc, polymer, aluminum etc, plate on either side of the pack to accommodate an array of quiver locks would be a pure testament to ingenuity and addressing a much needed niche. This would allow access to arrows while having the pack on as well as being in the stand….without ever having to remove the quiver…..

I received my tool bucket yesterday in the mail. After pulling it out of the box, the pictures displayed do not do it justice. It's roomy, I couldn't believe all the pockets and the locations. Sitka has been doing hunter research. Pocket here, pocket there, I can put this here and that there. Yeap, crazy but that is what I was thinking when I was inspecting this backpack. The front has a zipper, unzip and it lays open, the top flap can be opened and left open so you can have easy access to all your gear without fighting with multiple zippers etc. The only reason I went with four stars is I haven't taken to the tree yet; however, it is going with me this weekend and I will update this review.

I've waisted hundreds of dollars trying other packs for bow hunting in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains! Sitka Toolbucket was the hard stop on buying packs. Going into my third season with this pack. It is flatout the best pack I’ve ever owned. The design is great and I really like how I can attach my bow, or treestand, or saddle paltform and climbing sticks for a long walk to the different bow stands I use during the season. The pockets are well thought out, especially the extra pull rope for bringing it up into the tree stand and lowering it. IMO, this is the best hunting pack ever designed

Finally found the pack I've been looking for. As others have stated, I've used many packs that just suited but weren't what I really wanted. Now that I've found the Tool Bucket, my search has ended. This will be the last pack I use as it has what I want in a treestand pack. Perfect pocket lay out and spacious enough to carry everything I require up a tree. Good job Sitka, you finally delivered what we all have been looking for but just had to deal with just ho hum until this one. If you're on the fence, jump and thank me later.

Great pack! If you’re on the edge of getting the pack I would definitely say do it! Zippers are quiet, tons of storage, and I love the open concept design. It’s expensive but I’d definitely say if your looking for an expensive high quality pack this thing is priced just right compared to competitors. It also seems like every pocket has a purpose which is one thing I love about Sitka! Great work Sitka team!

It's a ll day pack that carries everything you need and then some and it's comfortable even with it over loaded. In three words, love this pack.

I must admit I was 'that guy' who was stuck using the same backpack for years because it was always everything that I needed. After over a decade of using the same pack I finally bought the Tool Bucket! I must say, it is above and beyond the best pack I have ever used! The location and placement of all of the access pockets and pouches is perfectly designed! The extra pull rope accessory pouch is a knockout! Strapping in my bow is easy and secure as I utilize an E-bike for many of my hunts. Worth every penny!! Get you some!!

This is honestly by far the best hunting pack I've ever owned. I've been deer hunting for over 25 years and I've gone through dozens of packs. It's the one thing I am never satisfied with and could never seem to find one that complimented my set up process upon entry. This pack design is incredible. If it's hot out and I'm taking minimal equipment and no outer layers i can cinch the pack down a little and it doesn't exceed my body profile and doesn't snag on anything in the thick stuff. So many straps and pockets inside and out there's no struggle at all in deciding where or how to carry things you need. On cold days when I need to pack in clothes i can fit all my regular items In the pockets plus the incinerator suit in the main compartment. The back padding is on point. When loaded up the pack definitely feels lighter than it is. So many pros with this pack and it's actually quiet in the calm woods. I finally found an all season pack for my deer seasons in the south where the temps range from 20 degrees to 95 degrees. I would buy it again right now if I needed to.
