Should I buy this for hiking in the backwoods of Idaho, hunting, atv riding, and some traveling. It's going to be a gift if this is the one for this?

Garmin's are amazing for exactly what you want. If the user is experienced with maps, I'd recommend getting a model that offers Topographic maps which will help with route planning if they're going off-trail.

I really don't know what to tell you. I bought it to do some camping and now, its out there in the shead. I like camping, my wife doesn't.

I bought mine to be used as a rifle pack which I feel I can be. Haven't had a chance to use it. The hunt I bought it for ended up only lasting 2 hours. Going antelope hunting in a couple weeks maybe I'll find out then sorry I couldn't help much. It is a great pack and to me send to be great quality for the $.

Hi Gavin, I think that there are other packs much better suited to backcountry skiing. The pluses for this pack are its compact size with many features - good for daily use, travel and day hiking. This pack would tend to be too small and light for more demanding applications.

That depends on how much gear and the type of hunting you're doing. It's handy for hunting because of it's compact size but I wouldn't pack an elk out with it.

Once it is acclimated to your area I do not know why it would not work. Let the satellelite orient and hike away. I like Garmin products, how ever I want to sell my 72 and buy one that has less features but is easier to operate one handed from horseback.

I wish I could answer this for you, but I only use mine for wildlife spotting out at Yellowstone. I imagine it would work just fine, as you can see things very clearly at these ranges.

I'm sure it would in a pinch, it wouldn't be something I would do frequently. I'm sure the seams would hold but the question would be about the suspension and comfort. I believe it's rated for up to 60lbs. If you're looking for a pack for hunting? I would recommend you look at a badlands back. Similar quality, design and guarentee, just geared towards hunting.

Absolutely.And you will be pleasantly surprised with the comfort. I wore mine with binoculars attached for a 7 day hunt in Newfoundland. Didn't even know I had them on.

Depends on you. If you don't want to carry around a full pack, or something that looks huge and floppy for just some day hiking, then yes. Otherwise... no?

If one is using the iOS app and doesn't mind the hand held device always being in your hand or at your side then go for it. I wouldn't buy the remote. BUT when I climb on an ATV to go 4 wheel'n in the rain or mud, having to carry my phone or tablet in deep mud or rain storms is NOT my idea of small and compact. I do use a tablet to set up the initial mounting position of the Go Pro, then it's back to the small remote.

Yes. It is a good carrying case and great for hiking, but does not work for a very quick draw.

Absolutely! My friend has one for both he & his wife & they use them up in the mountains to view wildlife & scenery!

I really haven't used it for that. I carry it over my shoulder but don't hike or walk around with it a lot. But it seems to be very accessible. And it feels comfortable the way I carry it. Doesn't slip off.

I highly recommend it. I also do long distant, ultralight hiking. I think it's several ounces, but it's definitely worth it.

Hi, I think this will be perfect for you, it has the right size and it's confortable to carry on your back. I used this in my trips to the rainforest and mountains.

I would say yes. But, if you are doing intense outdoor backpacking, probably not. When you first see it, it wont look that big but it expands and flattens nicely. I've gotten caught in the rain a couple of times and my electronical devices were fine. Hope this helps.
