munro - with or without side pouches - 30-45l ish - daysack to summer 1-3 days
sabre 45 - with or without side pouches - 45-65 ish - winter daysack to summer week
Vulcan - with or without side pouches - 80-100 ish - winter or extended trips

sabre now replaced with a kifaru Zulu - 50l with as many pouches extra as I want to clip on - does a bit of evrything
 
I think the only real answer here is No.
The best bushcraft pack is the one that you can fit everything you need into, and is comfortable to wear.
The perfect pack for one person is completely unsuitable for another.

The most bushcrafty one I've seen was a roycroft pack, where the three pieces of the wood frame formed a bow saw, the pack was formed from a tarp and blankets, and the straps were the ridgeline for the tarp.
