Thane Young grew up in the days of venison recovery and in a family that relied heavily on deer recovery to supplement their income so hunting is the blood. And 40 years later he is still chasing game around the hills and harvesting food from the rivers and sea.
He is an adventurer by nature with his two main passions being hunting and fly-fishing. Thanes' focus in the hunting space is long-range shooting and with this comes hefty treks into shooting positions and some very challenging animal recoveries.
Staying fit and healthy to enjoy these two passions is a huge focus for him. He normally pack trains 3-4 times a week on hilly terrain and stairs with a pack weight of up to 30kg to maintain his fitness for the hills!
Thane is constantly planning for the next adventure and is always keen to share his experiences with the people who accompany him or ones that enjoy his social media.
Favourite Tatonka gear
Modulus X1 Frame
Having used exclusively Tatonka packs for the past 10 years for training and hunting I have learnt a lot about them. I now have an in-depth knowledge of how to pack, size and fit them to get the best out of the system, which enables me to carry heavy loads with comfort over broken terrain and long distances. With this knowledge, I was invited to take part in the R&D(research and development) for the development and field testing of the Tatonka Modulus Pack. With many hours spent training, hunting and finetuning this pack I now have a favourite.

A special mention has to go my Tatonka Tarp 4 as it has protected me and my friends in some of the worst storms I have ever been exposed to in the outdoors.
