    Mel Terkla’s PocketUp - anyone wish to share their experience?

    I love Mel and PocketUp. I don't think you could find a friendlier more helpful guy in this industry now. Working with Rena is a happy place for him, and his designs paired with her sewing is a happy place for us. If you have questions, give him a call. If you have quirky needs, I've talked...

    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    Probably this. I was too early to the game and went all in on Kifaru. I have a Decker Pocket that I use on my Granite Gear Chief Flatbed that I love. Here's an album of pics of that... https://photos.app.goo.gl/9xX3tfYfDo1kTaee8 Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

    Kifaru Hacks

    1. Buy a bag 2. Slap it on The FILBE was a Mystery Ranch designed pack, it rides a NICE frame really well and a 24" Duplex pretty well. 26" or 28" Duplex probably won't line up quite as well but should work. I ran my G1 22 mag on my NICE frame briefly when I was "between" having a 24" Duplex...

    How do you know when jerky is done?

    I've been making jerky for about 20 years and know it some, not all. I've always used sea salt or pickling salt, have recently read about curing salt (probably Morton Tender Quick) and will delve into that after learning about what sodium nitrite does to inhibit bacteria. I generally use my...

    Sold Kifaru E&E Multicam

    I'm breaking the rule and commenting on price. Ban me. Great price. If I didn't already have one, I'd be on this like a duck on a Junebug. Amazed nobody's swooped on this... Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

    WTS Kifaru 22Mag gen 1.5 with 22” tactical frame Multicam

    This is badass. I think you're going to regret selling this. It's an evolution of the X-Ray, Xing and Loco, with a meat shelf too. Gladly bump for NTL... Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

    Sold Seek Outside Shelters

    Bump for someone with a similar "problem", who's an Eagle Scout and Assistant Scoutmaster. GoLite SL-5 with a stove jack is my current fave, followed by a TiGoat Vertex-8... Son's a Life Scout, running a BD Megamid... Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

    Kifaru Composite stays? Worth it for the tactical frame?

    I use a bench vise. There's more than one way, but pulling both out, getting one right with small changes (mentioned above) and matching the other to that. I have composite stays in my Late Season, aluminum in everything else. (Scouts, Marauder, MollEx, Pointman, 24" Duplex) I just had an...

    Kids pack options

    Disagree with the comment that it isn't robust. It's the closest thing you'll find to a Kifaru Duplex frame for a kid. Here's an album of my then 9 1/2 year old son packing all of his gear, (tarp tent, stakes, sleeping pad, bag, small stove, dehydrated food, water) and a Ruger 10/22 for a...

    A moment of silence:my frame has died

    Is it 24" or 26"? I'd replace with aluminum, then you can fit to you if you've got a vise and aren't scared. Shipping will cost as much as the stays. No reason to retire it. The only carbon stays I have are in my Late Season, which doesn't get the same stresses as my frames. Give a good...

    No luck in Utah

    A buddy's seeing wolf sign in SW Colorado, but we're letting the ballot box replace the recommendations of wildlife biologists since merging wildlife with parks. "Coyote hunting" will be better though. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

    WTS K2 Dana Terraframe Pack

    Bump for a great pack. Current MR catalog still copies much from this original design. As for the blood, for this price, a jug of Sportwash and a good soak would fix, if you even care... Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

    WTS Kifaru late season

    Not all Late Seasons take 24" stays.... Mine won't, it's a G2 (with the G2 lumbar pad) but the velcro won't wrap over a 24" stay from my tactical Duplex, and it presses into the lid. "Late Season Legacy" was a term I've heard for the ones that take 24", but I think Bill's screen grab was from...

    Pack Bag for Plain Old Packframe

    I have been using a Hill People Gear Decker Pocket, their Decker Pack Bags may be of interest too for USA made adds to a frame. I have a Granite Gear Chief Flatbed frame, a Mystery Ranch NICE frame, a Kifaru Duplex, and a Kifaru Omni Yoke, with straps and buckles, it works on all of them...

    What was the first available Kifaru pack?

    Archive.org (aka "the wayback machine") is my goto source. I can pull lots of versions of kifaru.net. Going clear back to '98, it's a little spotty, but the image below gives a bit of an idea. Colors? A bright yellow/black Longhunter? Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

    What was the first available Kifaru pack?

    That Siwash isn't unique. The Navigator is the Military Division version, 1000D with PALS webbing. The AG1 is like the Navigator but made for a Duplex frame. My daughter has a Siwash, my son has a Navigator, I have an AG1. 4,000 ci panel loaders seem to work well for us without being too big...
