For past 20+ years I have been using an old brown Eastpack backpack with leather bottom that used to be a school book pack. I use it when going out on a hunt for less than 24 hours. I put a Gerber plastic water bladder in it and run the hose to the shoulder strap. All the other stuff goes in the main compartment. The small compartment has the first aid kit and a head light. I can use the pack as rifle rest when I go prone. I carry spare ammo on the rifle butt cuff that zips up so it stays clean and dry. If I'm carrying a sidearm I carry spare ammo for it on the belt. I don't carry a shooting stick or tripod.
