    Eberlestock Tall vs Reglar F1 Mainframe

    Look up the Eberlestock pack fitting video and that will show the basics of setting it up. If everything is fitting and your load lifters are that high it will help cary heavy weight but you might not be able to look up as easily when climbing. Realize when you load the pack it will sink down so...

    Eberlestock F1 (tall) mainframe build-out

    Everyone keeps saying go with tall but I wonder how many of those guys are wearing their pack correctly. With the regular or tall they have the same amount of ladder rungs. The functionality of the load lifters is more only functional or has maxed its functionality if you are on the bottom 4...

    Eberlestock Tall vs Reglar F1 Mainframe

    I bought a regular and just got done using it with a little big too and a mystery ranch daypack lid to carry 55-68lb over 28 miles in the sawtooth mountains. Most comfortable pack I’ve used so far. When I did the measurements I realized the harness wouldn’t even go low enough for me on the tall...

    WTB Wanted - Mystery Ranch Daypack Lid

    Did you buy the hunter or the larger daypack lid? I was debating on doing one of those to put on top of a non mystery ranch setup but was hoping to get a used that’s an older model but I’m open to any. The older model or those with the older style buckle would fit all my other buckles though the...

    WTB Wanted - Mystery Ranch Daypack Lid

    I’m looking for an older MR daypack lid, preferably one with the 1” strap attachments between the two pockets but am open to any you may have. Message me if you have one you don’t use or want to part with. I’m in the Phoenix East Valley. Thanks

    Like all you guys have said about the better backpacks....

    Marbles, I'm curious besides the load lifting what makes the K3 that much better? Is the hip pad better, back padding? What makes it more comfortable and stable? I appriciate you comments.

    Like all you guys have said about the better backpacks....

    Marbles, thanks for your input. I’m curious if your friend had the regular or tall mainframe. The tall one has some pretty good load lifting ability and the regular does too if your torso is 18 and under. I was surprised when I fit the regular properly that it came up decently high especially...

    Like all you guys have said about the better backpacks....

    Thanks everyone for the input. Loper, I have shifted my load since hiking during my scouting days as a kid. It was partially done out of necessity. Some of my trips I hauled 100lbs for multiple days with jansport external and internal framed packs. Without shifting my load my hips would bruise...

    Eberlestock F1 (tall) mainframe build-out

    This is awesome. I’m debating on getting a Tall Mainframe but think it might be too tall for my 18” torso. Either way looking forward to modding my one. You did a great job.

    Eberlestock Tall vs Reglar F1 Mainframe

    Does anyone in the Phoenix area have a tall Eberlestock Mainframe I can try on since there are no local stores with tall mainframes in AZ? I’ve been debating on getting a tall or regular sized mainframe. They say the tall is for 19” torsos and taller technically I’m around 5’11”-6’ have a 18”...

    Like all you guys have said about the better backpacks....

    Thanks for your input Loper. I’ve been trying out different packs and one of the important factors in comfort is having the bag on your hips in he right spot (center of pad on the Iliac crest cupping over it) and it being long enough to have the pads cover the ASÍS comfortably. After that it’s...

    Carbon monoxide alarm in a hot tent

    I don’t think CO forms unless there’s low O2 concentration in the air specifically when you burn propane. Keep good ventilation regardless.

    Like all you guys have said about the better backpacks....

    I see people talk about other packs being more comfortable than Eberlestock and I always wonder how many bought the upgraded hipbelt and straps. I’ve read many that do that say it’s a night and day difference. Has anyone on this thread done that on a mainframe and still think am exo, SG, or...
