product: Tarahumara Pack

[@michaelmcshane6280]

I have this pack in this exact same color. I have had it for about six years now and I love it. It’s travel to many countries around the world right now. I am in Southeast Asia in Cambodia with this pack. I am from Arizona. This company makes fantastic gear. The gear is always well thought out and useful. Thanks again for making such great gear.

[@EvanK2EJT]

The Tarahumara is my favorite pack of all time. I own lots of packs (including five from HPG) and the Tarahumara is on my back more than any other pack. In fact, I probably use it more than all of my other packs combined. It's crazy how much stuff you can fit in it as well. It's funny you mentioned doing overnights out of it, because I've done it, and people look at me like I'm nuts with such a small pack. If the weather is good, and you know what you're doing, it's not an issue at all.

[@journeyman7189]

You took the words out of my mouth. It was the gateway product to HPG for me and its still going strong. Nate

My first pack, now I have the tara, the junction, umilindi, aston house back country, decker with pack bags, attachi, different assortment of pockets and 4 kit bags. No I will never sell them. Lol I want the ute, and A3 next. If you havnt checked out their backpacks, check them out. Best most durable most comfortable packs on the market. One day I decided to go on a long hike into the back country. Hiking Mt Belford to be exact. It's a mountain above 14,000 feet. My legs were ready I was in phenomenal shape. Ready to take on my first 14er to the peak. About 1 thousand feet shy of the summit the jansport pack I had broke. The shoulder strap came completely separated. Needless to say I didn't make it and had an awful time carrying that pack back several miles down the mountain. When I came back home I researched for weeks possibly over a month. Everything durable and comfortable pointed to one all American made brand, hill people gear. I set my sights on my first pack the tara. Since then I have bagged mt shavano, antero, laconte and coming September soon to be Princeton. I've trail run many miles with the tara and lots of hiking miles with both junction and the aston house. The decker I use in the winter time. I use these packs and I forsee them being handed down after I'm dead and gone. I never have to worry about backpacks anymore, durability or comfort. So why am I buying more packs? Easy, because if I have family or friends to come along. Also I can fit the right size for the right adventure. I'm not exaggerating when I say these packs have opened up a whole new world for me. I'm now comfortably and efficiently mobile, and looking good while doing it.

[@mikeblevins1324]

Love my Tarahumara. It seems like no matter what I use it for, my gear seems to fit perfectly. And it’s super comfortable. Handsome pup by the way!

[@Highlander.7]

I use my waxed tarahumara everyday, for the last 3 yrs or more. Solidly built, perfectly capable.

[@petervanderveer1933]

Amazing pac,peter from South africa

[@R65-j5k]

Just finished a year with mine Absolutely love the comfort and that it's built too last forever. No kidding, forever gear.

[@joelbenoitthewanderingbiso4976]

I can't say enough about this company and my gear I have from Hill people Gear, LOVE my Tarahumara, and just got the Mountain serape and wind cheater a few months ago and love them too. Plus they put out great content here. Thanks guys.

[@CaptainMurphyTKoM]

Love my Tarahumara! Been carrying it every day for almost 3 years now.

[@Warfield1549]

I have it since 3 years and it is still one of my favorite backpacks. I use it as EDC or long dayhikes with 2 Hydrapak 1,5l Flux bottles and a 3l Source Bladder. I love the Tarahumara.

[@GeorgeAdams]

The Tarahumara and Heavy Recon kit bag have been a great combo for me.

[@shrubjr893]

I love the tara! I've used mine for some serious mtn biking for years. I wont be changin anytime soon. Thanks Evan!

[@intotheriver9]

Just got mine a week or so ago (in elk brown), and have taken it out on a couple day hikes. Great bag. I might have finally found "the one" day/overnight pack. Surprisingly roomy, very comfortable, thoughtful design and features, and durable construction. Plus, it looks cool. I've still got plenty of extra interior room in mine even after packing the "10 C's" (including alternatives and backups of many of those), and that's without using the external strapping/cords at all, which will hold some more comfortable sleeping arrangements, etc., should I desire. Based on my (granted, limited) experience so far, I'd say pull the trigger if you're on the fence. Great bang for your buck. I have zero concerns about how it was built or materials used, and I'd really have to strain to think of any ways the bag could have been better designed.

[@alank9682]

I’ve only had mine a few months. Wanted a trim pack but love how this can externally carry a lot more if needed. Excellent carry on for flying and it worked great for port days and excursions while cruising.

[@joshrussell9008]

I have had my Tara since 2014. Carried it all over Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Been carrying it all over Alaska for the past few years. It carries my basic essentials well and is comfortable for all day walking. I have an Umlindi too, and had a Ute. Sometimes I wish I had a "Tara and a half". But then it wouldnt be as small either.

[@khomatech0]

Highlander would be a Tara and a half, I guess, if you can find one.

[@4570levergun]

All that one might need in a handy dandy little spitfire of a pack. I love mine for a quick ski out my back door.

[@rexgigout1472]

Wonderful little pack! I have had a black one for quite some time. When Grouse Blue was added, I ordered two, hers and his. We also use Kit Bags, an Umlindi, and Attaches. Great gear!

[@harryscallywag6280]

The one pack I will never get rid of. I have had mine about five years, and it still looks new, and I am not easy on my gear. Like other people on here have said, it holds way more than you would think.

[@davidlowry9928]

Headed out on the bike right now with the tarahumara. I like to switch between on my back and on the rear rack of my hard tail. The shoulder harness lower straps were replaced with g-hook straps for quick change-over. That external quilted pocket makes a great way to stow the harness out of the way.

[@HillPeopleGear]

Awesome modification! Might do similar.

[@wisemencompany]

Great overview.

[@BurgunderTV]

This pack is outstanding for fastpacking and trail running (especially when paired with a Runner's Kit Bag). I've covered nearly 50 miles at an aggressive pace in rugged terrain with this set-up and nothing else is comparable for this purpose.

[@jamesroy4132]

LOVE MY TARA!!! Keep making great stuff!!

[@RagingOatmeal]

Just bought the bag online direct from Hpg. Cant wait to get a quality bag. We got nothing like this in Canada!

[@natashaball316]

I love my Tara pack! I use it for my EDC!

[@b.g.2626]

Love my Tarahumara and kit bag. Works perfect for short partial day hiking trip or working outside in the woods.

[@732Runner]

Finally got my hands on an elusive Tara in MCB via the HPGOG on the book of faces.. stoked to finally land one.

[@johnd5244]

I got one years ago. Just wish I had gotten the Highlander also.

[@dziadWSZEWIED]

nice chemtrials on the sky

[@blackbird2056]

I really like your products specifically the Tara and Ashton house BC. I would like to know what grips are on your bike and in general and over view if possible.

How long does it take for things to get restocked, been waiting on the ranger green snubby for 3 weeks

[@williammccormick288]

Love this pack!

[@LestatLee]

hi, will you consider to make a light version of the decker frame? Really like the idea of decker frame, but with a decker pack and a belt on, it weights 7 bls , that’s a little bit scary…

[@HillPeopleGear]

Modular systems simply weigh more. The light version of the Decker frame is the Ute. If you need lighter, the Ute Light.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

I always use a stablizer strap. If you are ever scrambling or bending over it prevents shifting of the pack. Just include it as a removable option for those that stay on the trail. But If it doesn't have one I have to hack one on the pack.

[@HillPeopleGear]

I do understand that it's useful for some. For the majority it won't be, so making them pay extra (cost of the pack would have to go up) to get it only to not use it isn't the best plan. If you need one, it's available here: hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/6/ProductID/174

[@alank9682]

I appreciate your thought process here.

[@timjk32]

is that a alttile smaller than the junction pack

[@HillPeopleGear]

Yep

[@ColdHarborOP]

Ahh, the beloved Tara; the Hill People Gear gateway drug for gear normies.

16/5000 When will the stock be available? the official website sold out

[@HillPeopleGear]

We receive product shipments every single week. Sometimes things go quickly so it's best to get on the notification list. As of right now, we have 3 different colors of Tarahumara in stock.

[@beck4218]

Love mine.

[@PrybarCommando]

Bladder full of water on top of all your other gear, not sure on this

[@HillPeopleGear]

The bladder is either going to fail or it isn't. If you're concerned about it, don't use a bladder. Having it in a separate compartment can help some, but not necessarily a lot. At the end of the day, if you choose to use a bladder, you know that at some point it's going to leak all over everything. It's for that reason we don't use them at all.

A tourniquet for mountain biking? LMAO. The only time I ever carried a tourniquet was in Afghanistan because people were getting shot...with bullets.

[@HillPeopleGear]

Modern wilderness first aid recognizes that the greatest threat to life after scene safety is massive bleeding and the best way to induce a life threatening hemorrhage in the backcountry is velocity sports like mountain biking. A TQ is one of those things where the proper tool weighs less and works way better than anything you could field improvise. So yes, a TQ for mountain biking.

Can this have the big pockets like the Truckee Pack? I need that version for reasons. Like I want room for two rifles and one in my hands. I don’t trust the current military members.
