I currently ride a giant revolt 2 gravel bike and would now like to use a mtb for bike packing. My dream would be a surly karate monkey or another surly. Today in the German bike store the salesman said specialized chisel, kona unit x or stanton sherpa would be better alternatives. What do you think, what should I do?

I can’t speak for any other of the bikes you mentioned than the Kona unit x. I absolutely love mine. Been on two 1000 miles plus bilepacking/touring adventures with it and it has been a reliable fun companion. Also ride it on trails, man made flow trail , commuting and everything else. This summer I changed to a set of light 27.5 wheels with 35mm inner width. Like the 27.5 alot. Made it easier for me to pump for speed in corners and bumps.
