    Lightweight bag for external frame

    The Zpacks Airplane case at 3.2 ounces is an option. I'm not sure of the exact payload but I thinks it's in the 3500 plus range. https://zpacks.com/products/airplane-case?variant=9364164673572

    Tenacious Tape

    I tore a hole in a Kuiu Chugach jacket about 6-7 years ago. I put a patch on the inside and the outside. Through many washings the tape is still holding strong.

    8 man or 12 man tipi....for two

    I have both an 8-man and a 12-man. I've had two people with cots, totes and stove in the 8-man. It works but I it's a little tight. I've also used the 8-man backpacking. With 3 guys + gear and stove the 8-man is a palace. 4 guys + gear and a stove works well but is a little tight. My 12-man is...

    Franken-packs

    The Kuiu bag fits great on an Seek Outside frame. Both Kuiu and Seek Outside use gatekeepers. The Kuiu Ultra has a lot of attachment points as does the Seek Outside frame. I used the gatekeeper straps that came with the Kuiu bag and some additional ones that came with Seek Outside frame to...

    Franken-packs

    Yes, I've put a Kuiu Ultra 4000 on both a Kifaru frame and a Seek outside Revolution frame. I've also put a Seek Outside Fortress 4800 bag with a mesh Talon on Kifaru frame. I added a Xpac meat shelf to the Kuiu Ultra 4000. It is used for day hunting and 2-3 nights. I packed out an elk last...

    Did the Seek Outside lumbar pad make all the difference for any of you

    I bought a Seek Outside pack when they first came out. The problem for me was that I have a lot of curve in my back especially in the lumbar area. The belt did not contact my lumbar area so all the weight concentrated on my hips with the bulk of the pressure at the point where the belt attaches...

    LBO Options and pictures

    I have a base, tarp and 3-piece vestibule and a buddy has a base and 3-piece vestibule. We've setup about every combination you can think of. A base, tarp, base would give you lots of options. I went on a backpacking trip with 6 people. We had all 5 LBO pieces and setup a number of...

    Seek Outside Upcoming Packs

    I cut my frame down to 22" and used it with a Fortress 4800 as a carry on. I never had to check it on any flights that I tried including some small regional European planes. Compressed down the pack fit the dimensions allowed by the airlines. 22" is also my preferred frame height for hunting...

    Kifaru Stryker

    The Striker and camp bag will work for multi-day hunts but if you want to pack out both your camp and meat at the same time it might get a little awkward because the camp bag fits in the cargo area where the meat will also go. You might be able to fit both the camp bag and meat in the cargo area...

    Boot fit?

    I have Kenetrek in 10.5 wide that fit great and I just bought some Crispi Colorado's in 11 wide. Most of the other boots and shoes I have are either 10.5 or 11. I don't have any miles on the Crispi boots outside but they have plenty of room and feel great walking around the house. I know most...

    Kifaru Nomad impressions?

    I bought a Nomad v1 when they first came out and used it as a day pack and to haul out elk quarter. You need something in addition to the Nomad to hold a heavy load such as a hanging meat bag or a grab-it. I used a home made hanging meat with my Nomad. Ultimately I decided to replace the Nomad...

    I would be interested in the Revolution Frame Panel if you end up splitting.

    Which gaiter

    I have the Kennetreks and the Kuiu. The Kuiu seem a little quieter to me so I use them most of the time especially for archery. I used them a lot this September and didn't notice any noise.

    FHF vs Marsupial vs Alps Outdoorz

    Another fan of Outdoor vision. Similar to Marsupial in operation but more coverage.

    Collapsible load lifters on a pack frame

    I'm 6'2" and given the way I have to set the belt a 24" Seek Outside frame goes above my shoulders. To fix this I used a pipe cutter to trim off 2" to make the frame 22". Now it sits right at my shoulder level. The 4" extensions makes the frame 26" which works great for hauling heavy loads. I...

    Belt for hunting

    If you mean by ov (ov Invovations) then the HPG belt and ov belt are the same. I have both the Kuiu belt and the ov belt. The Kuiu belt is easier to adjust in my opinion and is the one I wear all the time including when hunting but I also like the ov belt and have worn it on long backpacking trips.
