    Kifaru Belt Pouch Question

    If I read he original post right, he's not thinking of putting those items on the belt itself but in belt pouches on the side of the pack. Depending on how big the possibles pouch is, I suspect you'll need a large pouch for at least one side

    Kifaru 14'r access modification

    This is the sole reason I didn't buy a 14er. It seems to correct some of the problems of the express/spike scamp, esp with longer stays, but the front zipper doesn't seem to be very functional. I purchased and sold a tarryall because its panel-loading was not as useful as I thought it would be...

    What will happen in Alaska if Hillary wins?

    It's nice to read all this worry from people in Alaska. Try being a gun-owner in NYC. The closest rifle range is 2 hours away, it's open for four hours three days a week, and they only let you load one round at a time. The next closest is three hours each way--unless govenor Chris Christie shuts...

    Did I go Overboard?!?!?!

    Alright, let mine be the lonely voice confirming your worst nightmares. For 5-day hunt (= 4 nights), you do not need a DT1 plus guide lid, grab it, and pockets, even in the winter. What on earth could anyone be planning to carry that s/he will need almost 10,000 cubic inches for four nights? I...

    Which Kifaru Pack to replace my current setup?

    Sounds like time for two packs and one frame: an emr2 or dt1 for the long trip, and a tahr or exo 2000 for the shorter trip, all of which will attach to a hunting platform frame.

    Wts Exo k2 2000 foliage bag only.

    A few people have asked for photos, so here they are. As you can see, I have not made any modifications to the bag. It attaches to 26 inch kifaru frames fairly intuitively; there's a rokslide thread on this--all you need is a few compression straps for the sides and buckles for the back of the...

    Wts Exo k2 2000 foliage bag only.

    As the subject line suggests, I'm selling a brand new, never used exo mountain gear k2 2000 bag only in foliage. I purchased it 2 weeks ago for my kifaru hunting frame, attached t to the frame twice, never even loaded it with any gear or took it outdoors, and decided I need something larger...

    backpacking-united.com

    You're right that there's risk of ordering the wrong size, but I thought someone on this website would be willing to purchase a new set of Alaska GTX's for a hundred bucks off the standard US price. The lighting in those photos is from a desk lamp; it's yellow and makes the boots look brown...

    backpacking-united.com

    I'm reviving this thread because the boots just arrived, and I thought the Rokslide community might welcome a review of backpacking-united. To answer some questions: I paid 196.60 euro (=$216.58 US) plus 40.95 euro (=$45.11) for a total of $261.69 for a pair of Hanwag Alaska GTX. Now, before...

    olive drab/wolf grey

    Does anyone have photos of this combination? Thinking of picking up an od tahr for my wg hunting frame because I prefer 1000d, but I'm wondering whether the colors will look ridiculous together. Thanks.

    A lighthearted graphical observation about trailmix, clif bars, and the like

    On her one and only overnight camping trip, my fiancée (now wife) told me that she thought mountain house lasagna tastes like stinky feet. She said the same thing about the breakfast skillet. A month later, I went on 10-day hike with my father, who volunteered to be in charge of buying food. He...

    Taking your bed every day

    I've watched this video with some envy over the years and now it leaves me wondering what kind of packs you and Luke use for bivouack hunting. Three nights (four days) of food, plus extra quilts, chairs, mats, and a tent--seems like it could all get rather heavy and awkward rather quickly. Do...

    CS Kifaru organizer

    Let me tell you people, this is the best organizer Kifaru has ever made. It's tremendous. It knows how to win. It's a winner.
