Custom stalker carry out on a PB Stag

By: Tyson O'Toole on 26 July 2023

On the return trip back to the car after a full day out stalking, I was heading down a game trail and heard a big crack in the adjacent brush. Not being able to see anything I moved back to a clear patch for a better view. To my disbelief big well fed Samba hesitantly moved around a tree. After a pull of the cord from the quick release sling and I had the samba in my sights. It’s then that I spotted the rack, nothing like I’d ever seen in my scope before. 2 big deep breathes and I placed my shot. He took off for a bit then slowed down eventually pulling up and bedding down. 2 more stopper shots to make sure he wasn’t getting up again. After arriving at the stag I realised I’d shot my PB and it measured in at 23 inches. Even though id shot my PB i had a big pack out ahead of me. I had 2 issues getting as much meat out as I could and a medical condition called chronic wedging of the spine. This was my 3rd trip using my new custom stalker 30l backpack and was definitely going to put it to the test. Using the meat sling to carry one leg I was able to fill the pack with as much meat as I could like backstraps etc. Having the quick release gun harness meant I could carry more meat in my hands as the gun was supported by the backpack. Over all it took me 3 trips to get all the meat and the cape/rack for a full shoulder mount out of the bush and I 100% know there was no chance I was able to carry that much out without being in pain from my condition or physically exhausted. Great product for people who have medical conditions like myself and after the weekend I can’t recommend this backpack enough!

Custom Stalker external frame pack

By: Jake on 10 July 2023

As someone who has been out of the hunting scene for a few years and wanting to get back in and start backpack hunting with some friends, I drove myself nuts searching the internet for all sorts of packs and I found plenty. I wanted a quality pack that was future proof for whichever way my hunting style evolves, and I wanted to be able to try on and feel the bag and speak to someone in the know, not a salesman who can read the features on the tag, so I decided to drive to Moroka.30 and have a look and speak to someone who knows the products. From the moment I entered the showroom I was blown away by the game on the walls and the general layout of the store, there was no doubt in my mind I was in a dedicated hunting shop. I dealt with Rob and told him my situation, then we spoke about a few bags options from older models to the new external frame model and I was told that the new frame model was going to be what all the new bags are going to be based off, meaning that frame is the center piece and all future bags will be compatible with it and they already had the 35L & 75L options. After trying on the bag and being given a tour of the features and the story of the development of the pack and how and why things have been designed the way they have, my mind was blown about how much has gone into this system and I could not stop saying " wow you guys have thought of everything!" I decided to get the full kit and the additional 35L bag so that I'm covered for any trip I want to do from one day to multiple day hunts you can just swap things around to suit and it's all interchangeable depending on how you want to set it up. Rob customized the frame to suit me, and it fits like a glove and I'm very happy with the setup and am glad I chose to invest the extra money knowing that I won't be looking for a better bag after a few trips. Rob never tried to sell me this pack system, it simply sells itself! This pack system has been designed and developed by hunters who know what they want in a pack, not by a huge company that aims to please its shareholders and its evident, with that being said I am happy to be supporting a small Australian business that has gone to such great lengths to create such awesome products.

Great pack system

By: Ross on 1 November 2022

I’m so happy with my purchase, I got the full pack system with both the 75 & 35L bags and have had time using them both in the field. So far I’ve found this system extremely comfortable, well thought out and built well. The new quick release gun sling is also a game changer for comfort and manoeuvring with both hands free. I highly recommend this product and the advice from the team at moroka 30.

Australian designed pack for Aus conditions

By: Faz Gunn on 9 August 2022

I purchased this pack and kit at the beginning of the hunting season. I had put an order in and I had to wait for a while until the guys from Moroka rang me at the begin of the season to say it had now been released. A week before a hunting trip I went in for a trial fit and a few days later went back to pick up my pack for the trip. My first impression when trying the pack, was how comfortable it was to wear and how ergonomically well balanced it was. I thought what better way to try out a pack than out in the field. And surely I have to say it did not disappoint. The guys at Moroka.30 fully custom fitted the pack for me shaping the frame and made all the necessary adjustments to suit me. I was lucky on my first trip with the pack I carried out a back leg, front leg and a back strap placing it between the pack and the frame, which made a whole lot of difference because even with the load it was a comfortable walk out of the bush. The pack did not drop or sag as a result of the weight. So considering the first hand experience out hunting, I must say, I am very pleased with this backpack and I would certainly recommend it as for me, this the ultimate pack. I have had the pleasure to use it a few times now and I thoroughly enjoyed using it. Thanks to Daz and Rob for your help. Happy hunting.

Custom Stalker external frame

4 May 2022

I purchased this pack just before release so I wasn’t able to look up peoples reviews before buying it like I normally do. I was not disappointed. Hopefully this is the review people who are 50/50 will want. I purchased the full kit with both the 35L and 70L bags and have already put the 35L through it’s paces packing out a full size hind. I carried out a back leg, front leg, back straps and eye fillets in one run and it handled it easily, with all the weight distributed though the hips, so I wasn’t feeling it through the shoulders at all. I was interested to see how the frame above the shoulders would go getting snagged on overhanging branches but it hasn’t crossed my mind out in the bush because it hasn’t happened at all. I'm yet to use the quick release gun sling as “purposed” on a moving deer that came out of nowhere, but just moving around the bush the way it sits stowed, the rifle feels like it’s not even there weight wise, as nothing is on your neck or shoulder, all the weight distributes through the pack. Picking up the bag on its own it felt about the same weight as my previous pack, but the design once on and fitted properly honestly makes it feel like your hunting in a super light weight bag. Seriously impressed. Great work Rob and Daz
