https://greyhive.com/videos/watch/1665cf16-72cb-4b31-89e6-81b24fe284e1 The Kuiu Ranger 2200 was my primary saddle hunting pack this season, and the question going in was simple - is 2200 cubic inches enough to hunt all season without feeling like you're leaving something behind? After a full season of whitetail and bear hunting across mountain terrain and creek bottoms, I have a clear answer. The short version is yes, with one exception. When I hunted in Pennsylvania in near-zero temperatures and needed to pack significantly more layering, the Ranger 2200 ran out of room and I switched to a larger pack. Every other situation this season - it was exactly right. The Ranger 2200 is built around fewer, larger compartments that keep organization simple without cluttering the pack. For saddle hunting specifically, that layout works well because the supporting gear - calls, food, headlamp, extra layers, and field tools - all has a place without the pack becoming a puzzle to dig through in the dark.
