Waiting on 8 man and large stove.... received T2 about a month ago, great pack for the way I go....love Kifaru... My 'problem' with Kifaru started about 12 years ago with a modified Spike Camp pack...it took this long to find the right hunting pack for me..the T2.
I like having the mid long on the lid with a Kif strap kept inside. It's where I keep all the essentials in case I have to dump the pack for a stalk. Just unclip it to go over the shoulder, in case you get far from the pack or take a while finding it in the dark after the kill....not that...

Thanks justin..great info and generosity. I think I'm decided on the 8 man but not sure about stove size though. I was thinking of large since I probably wouldn't use for the ST either...but the medium seems versatile.
Bitterroot..make sure it's the same before you order it. The camera in your link takes 6 AA batteries according to the specs/comments at the bottom and shane said that his take's size C. Not sure if this may make a difference in battery life on the trail. May influence how long you want to...
I would go with Exped..bought mine last week, cost a small fortune but used the REI which helped ease the pain, used it the last couple of nights and it was great. Easy setup and roll up and not too noisy. A bit thin which makes me nervous..
