I just finished putting the Eberlestock Brute Scout through a serious test on a 10-day elk hunt in Wyoming, and I can honestly say this is by far the best and most comfortable pack I have ever owned.

I was walking 5–10 miles a day through Wyoming elk country, carrying everything I needed for a full day in the field—and then some. Water, food, optics, extra clothing, hunting gear, and all the little things that add up quickly. Even loaded down and covering that kind of mileage, I barely felt the weight.

Anybody can put a pack on in a store and say it’s comfortable. Walk 5–10 miles a day with it for 10 straight days in Wyoming and you’ll find out what it’s really made of. This setup passed that test.

The organization is excellent, the Multicam looks awesome, everything stayed secure, and the combination of the Brute Scout, Cradle Hip Belt, and hydration bladder made carrying a full day’s worth of equipment incredibly comfortable.

I’ve carried plenty of packs over the years, but after putting this one through an actual Wyoming elk hunt, I’m sold.

Eberlestock absolutely knocked this setup out of the park. I’ll be using it on every serious hunt from here on out.

I like this pack! It looks great and overall the quality is amazing. It is definitely smaller for a day pack, so Id strongly suggest adding the standard belt and putting the smaller general purpose pouch and multi pack pouch on it.

watch my youtube review and in depth look at the similarities and differences in these two great little day packs

Great day pack. Holds everything I need and nothing I don’t need, just the essentials. Comfortable, light weight, and versatile. I use it for local day trip hunting. I will be purchasing the brute 3500 next for longer days. I will buy a second scout for work related purposes. Like any eberlestock product, highly recommended.

very fast delivery.

Great quality, bought many things from you guys never been dissapointed in the slightest.

Love it! Comfortable... love the versatility

This pack is total quality and durability. It is small but still provides enough room for what I need.

This little pack is AWESOME! Bought to use for a scouting/day pack for deer hunting. But this could work easily for a coyote hunting pack to carry tripod, call, Strap a small chair to it, whatever you’d like. Definitely recommend this pack!

Perfect day pack if you are not planning to hall around a bunch of weight, I paired it with the cradle hip belt and it’s super comfortable. Highly recommend for scouting trips, everyday carry, or hunts where you aren’t packing out meat.

Great one sticking pack awesome quality

Bought as an upgrade in space to the Bandit. With the cradle hip belt, this thing is a versatile day pack that fits more than you think. Used it as my carry on for optics, bino harness, and tricer BC and every other day on my bow hunt when I needed to get deep, fast. Another great product from Eberlestock.

Eberlestock is a trusted name, with several packs in my inventory; the Scout is just the right size for day gear with a tripod and spotting scope; there's a variety of colors to choose from, depending on activity and environment (hunting, urban interface); built with ruggedness and a lot of thought in mind for the outdoors.

My experience with “Western Hunting” means moving through a lot of brush and trees which scrape on your pack. I should have read the fine print better and researched the sound a 550D nylon pack would make. The fabric the Multicam is made out of is very loud. Buyer beware if you are worried about getting in close to a bull this pack will blow your cover. Otherwise the pack seems like a great hiking pack, comfortable with nice pockets and a good layout. Probably a good hiking pack (I’m returning it so I haven’t tried it out)… not a great hunting pack if you plan on stalking game with bow or muzzle loader range.

Great day pack!

Great small pack. Solid structure. Larger snd more rugged thsn Apprebtice. Snaller and more compact thsn Little Brother.

I love this pack. its everything you could ever want in a scouting pack. I could use this for scouting, general hiking, shed hunting, day hunts. you name it.

Perfect day pack for what I was lookig for. Added the belt and small pouch for comfort and added storage. Looking forward to putting it to work in mybipcoming elk hunt! This is my 5th Eberlestock pack and all of them are top quality!

Haven’t used this pack in the field yet, but it’s been great for practicing my saddle setup. It carries all of my saddle gear securely on the exterior and seems like an excellent day pack.

I have the Bandit pack and its very functional but a bit small, so I ordered the Scout and the size is perfect for simple day hikes. I do miss the organizer features in the lid of the Bandit - the Scout lid is just a simple open compartment.

Pack is a solid performer. W/the hip bet, even better.
The tendency is to load it up b/c of the hip belt thinking it will compensate and it does to a certain point. It could benefit from some load lifters imho.

To be honest I did not fully read the specs before I ordered. Its a smaller bag but has enough for a range day or hunting trip to the deer stand with snackies and essentials. I did order the Freefall as an overnight/weekender bag.
No regrets...just know you are getting a quality bag.

Exactly what I was looking for. Just enough space for my gear and not so big that I would overload myself. Still waiting for the hip belt.

This is the best day pack I have ever owned. The pack is well thought out as far as the layout goes. I’m very impressed.

Very nice pack. Well constructed and feels lighter than it is on yoir back.

I used my new Brute on a short hike in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife refuge. I understand some small adjustment features might help just a bit, but I think the number one thing here is a day pack with plenty of storage yet SUPER light in weight

Loving this pack. Smaller than my switchblade for daily use, but get the job done for sure. The pack is more rigid due to the integrated frame so the pack doesn’t flop over. Thank you to the gentleman that helped me when I bought this in store. I was in town from Texas and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Will be buying another pack shortly based on his recommendation.

Very good construction. No chance to use in the field as yet. Perfect size for a days hunting.
