Vorn Rucksack – Hunting Rucksacks

Vorn Rucksack

Introduction

A hunting rucksack is a necessity whenever you start doing any sort of long distance hunting. And they are bloody handy to have no matter what sort of hunting you’re doing anyway. It makes it so much easier to carry all your equipment around with you but allows you to take additional equipment that you would not be able to otherwise. Important equipment such as a first aid kit, Waterproof clothing, fire starter kit, food and water to name a few. Particularly in this article I will be highlighting the fantastic Vorn rucksack which are perfectly adapted for us hunters.

Vorn Ruckack

The vorn Rucksack is perfectly adapted for the hunter. They come in three different sizes which are: Vorn fox, Vorn Lynx and Vorn Deer. These selections of sizes are good enough to accommodate most hunters needs in the field. For me what stands out about the Vorn rucksacks is their comfort and patented quick rifle release design. See the three types available below and my thoughts on Vorn rucksacks will be in the review section after the three options.


Vorn Fox

The Vorn Fox is the smaller of the three versions and Vorns compact option. It has been made for carrying your firearm and basic equipment. If the hip belt and shoulder straps are removed it can be mounted to the side of larger rucksacks. This choice is available in RealTree Xtra camouflage. It has a spacious and well padded firearm compartment that will protect your firearm and scope.

This Vorn rucksack is equipped with the patented quick release mechanism that makes this rucksack stand out so well. It allows you to release your firearm so easily and smoothly. Sometimes this is so handy when you bump into animals and need your rifle with as little movement as possible.

Vorn Lynx

The Vorn Lynx is a compact medium sized rucksack (12 – 20 litre). This for me is the perfect sized rucksack for most types of hunting. Unless you want a rucksack specifically for packing animals out. Or for a camping trip where you’ll need a lot more equipment then I would stick to this choice. You’re able to increase it’s capacity from 12 litres to 20 litres by opening side zips which allows the rucksack to expand outwards.

This rucksack is available in canteen green and ReelTree camouflage. The Rucksack has the same features as the fox option in terms of the backpack rifle holder. Again coming with patented quick release system that allows you to get to your firearm as quickly and smoothly as possible.

This is Vorns largest rucksack available. This backpack is suitable for when you need to bring extra equipment on your hunt. Particularly as I mentioned earlier, if you’re going off into the hills for a couple of days camping. You’ll be able to get pretty much anything inside this rucksack considering it has a 42 litre space inside the rucksack.

Again it’s fitted with the patented quick release system which allows you to access your firearm so quickly.

REVIEW

I have got the Vorn Lynx rucksack and I must say it is a fantastic rucksack to say the least. Like I said in the introduction, theres two key points as too why this rucksack stand out for me which are:

COMFORT:

I honestly don’t think I have ever tried a rucksack that is so comfortable. It’s been designed very very well. The comfort comes from the two thick pieces of padding that is at the top and bottom of the rucksack. Other features that help with the comfort are the straps which are quite soft on the shoulder and distribute the weight well as-well as the hip belt which helps with transferring the load more evenly.

QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM:

Another stand out feature is the patented quick release system for me. When I first tried a Vorn rucksack I was a bit skeptical about the firearms transition from the rucksack to being in the palms of your hands. I thought it may get caught or catch or not be a smooth transition. But I have tried it so many times now and it just never gets caught and works every time. It’s a very well designed system and so simple as well.

OVERALL:

Overall, the Vorn rucksack is excellent. It’s made from high quality materials, which means it’s tough and durable as well. It’s got all the great features that you would expect from a back pack in this price range but more as well. You’ll definitely be getting your moneys worth if you were to purchase one of these.


ESSENTIAL EXTRAS:

1. FIRST AID KIT:

It’s always a great idea to have a first aid kit with you. Even if you’re going on a short hunt just buy and put it in your rucksack, not just for you but for anybody you might be with. It’s always good to have one anyway as you never know when you might be asked to go camping or on a hill hunt.

2. LIFE SYSTEM FIRE STARTER

Its always worth having at least one way to start a fire. This is great tool to do that. It will even get a fire started in the trickiest of conditions as it has magnesium that you can carve off the back of it to use in extreme circumstances.

3. PORTABLE STOVE

This colemans stove has been used by my father and I for several years now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The stove part folds away into nothing and is extremely lightweight. This stove has a wind-brake that locks into place on top of the stove. On top of this wind-brake, the cooking pot can slot into place making the whole design very stable indeed. The foam lining around the cooking pot is a nice touch, this allows you to hold the pot and it your food out of it without getting burnt while keeping your food hot. The stove, wind-brake and gas can all fit inside the cooking pot! A great addition to have in your Vorn rucksack.


Thank you for reading my review

Thank you very much for reading this review on my best bass lures. And I hope it helps you with selecting the right ones for you. Here at Jake’s Outdoors we are very passionate about our hunting, fishing and all things to do with outdoors. I believe our hunting and fishing community really is special and we experience things that others do not. I think its a very good thing if we can all share out experiences and connect with each other all over the world. This way our community is much stronger. And we can better protect each other in this modern society where so many people have lost touch with the outdoors.

It’s our job to educate people on why we do what we do and try to keep our passions alive. Therefore, here at Jake’s Outdoors I wont just be reviewing equipment.

Short & Long term goals:

My short term aim here is too help you fish and hunt better. I will do this by helping you choose the best equipment for you. Whether it be clothing, hunting equipment or general advice. My long term goal is to start inspiring more people to take up hunting and fishing because both are in decline. It’s very important that we start educating this modern society and making them understand why hunting needs to take place. With your support I hope to be able to carry on doing this.
