I’m going to keep thinking through the food timing for the next few days and try to fill in where I think I’m missing. I 100% think I’m completely fine with this list though.
I don’t eat a lot in the mornings so I feel covered there with about 500cal to start off. Dinner is covered with peak...
I had the same exact experience and I’m 5’7” 160lb 32” waist. The K3 stiff lumbar pad fit better in the K4 because it’s 1” shorter but ultimately was less comfortable with weight. The K4 lumbar will break in pretty shortly after a few training sessions with weight.
I’m shorter so I expect this...
I’m going to look into this for next year/winter. I like the idea of it, I also don’t like adding/dropping layers a lot but I can see good uses for it. Will definitely try it out
Going to be rethinking less glassing hunts with the quick stix 3rd leg. I’d probably be annoyed with 2 trekking...
I could potentially get away with it on this trip. Going to look at the quick stix 3rd leg to add for less glassing heavy trips
Interesting setup, what’s your reasoning here?
6 days. I’m close on maxing out one canister. Taking a second as a backup/security
Got it, thank you
Fair point, I never gave much thought here. Would save 5 ounces here quickly. Appreciate that. I used a steripen for a couple years and just kept rolling with it I guess.
Have you looked at the Cnoc storage and bottle? What does your water setup look like?
This might be something I look into after hunting season. Not necessarily happy with my water setup so far but I do like a nalgene in case I need to boil water and throw it in my bag at night
Good point, I’ll keep an eye on the weather for this. I think battery bank would cover me fine if I was...
What’re your thoughts on a bear re-engaging after bear spray has been used as well as being upwind? Seems like a lot of what ifs in regards to this topic but also not one to fluff off. I know more experience will help with confidence here
This is next up on the list to buy for sure just have...

Hey fellas! I’m looking to see what I can leave back at home. I feel like I have everything I need with some questionables. Any and all opinions are welcome on the whole list. Some context of the trip and more of my thought process below for the questionables...
You can get it functional with the existing wings of the k3 - just swap buckles.
I removed them and made K4 attachments to go the extra step to make it fit perfect.
Bottom attachment is exactly the same and nothing needs to change
To go further, I swapped the frame attachment method. It seems like EXO uses squadron (500d laminated to 1000d cordura) for these pieces. I already had 600d cordura and seam grip so I “laminated” my own together by spreading the adhesives and clamping between 2 flat surfaces for a day. I’d...
Project was to make a K3 bag fully compatible on a K4 frame as a K4 bag would be. I love the K4 frame and bought a 3600 which will work the majority of time I’m hunting early season and backpacking over weekends at home. Winter hunting would be different. Last year I used a kifaru hoodlum during...
