    Best range bag?

    Not exactly a backpack question, but I'm looking to buy a new range bag. I've been using an old express, but it lacks organization. I thought the people on this forum might have some informed opinions. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    New Kifaru Packs

    A few questions: What does the tarryall weigh with carbon fiber arrows? Does the listed weight (4.35lbs) include the hip belt, and if not how much does a belt add? About the 23-inch stays. The video mentioned that customers had wanted longer stays for the zing but shorter for the late season...

    We Support Them, Question is do they stand behind us?

    I thought these comments were entirely bland and predictable: anywhere from neutral to supportive, and in general the larger the company the more neutral. That's what businesses do--they sell to anyone who buys, regardless of political, religious, or other kind of affiliation. And I expect most...

    Learning from What is Happening in Indiana

    This is one of the great things about living in a progressive state. The loss of public land is not inevitable and it's not driven by population growth. It's made possible by politicians who have public land rezoned and sold off to private developers. New York has a constitutional amendment...

    Injuries While Preparing For The Hunt.

    Broke my left knee and foot (twice) in high school and neither ever quite healed right; then the meniscus tore on the same knee. I ended up with back pain and plantar fasciitis from the injuries.Putting all the stress on my right side eventually led to a tear in the patellar tendon of my right...

    Cheap Belt pouches

    A few years ago I ordered two generic belt pouches from amazon and had two, completely opposite experiences. The first, by Voodoo Tactical, was perfectly acceptable: a durable, usable pouch. Had it on a bikini frame for years and is on my stone glacier right now. I don't see any reason to...

    Spike Camp pack for Duplex frame

    It's fairly easy with some k-connectors and creativity to attach a spike camp or express (with or without shoulder straps) to a bikini (and I imagine, though I've never done it, duplex) frame.

    Looking for a daypack....advice wanted.

    Any consideration given to a g1 spike camp or express? Not super light, but it has a great hip belt, weight capacity, and is expandable.

    Floorless vs Floor shelters

    I'm divided on this. For long hunts in late fall having a stove is essential. So that seems to necessitate a floorless shelter. On the other hand, I was in a torrential downpour and sudden heat snap a few years ago that melted all the snow on the mountain I was camped on. The ground literally...

    Anyone running the kifaru tahr

    Really? I was about to buy one until I read somewhere that there's a space between the bottom of the 26" frame and the bottom of the pack, so you can't set it down without its falling over. I'd also be interested in seeing the side zipper. Did that come from Kifaru or did you have it added...

    Fund Raising Ideas?

    The closest range in my neighborhood regularly hosts target practice for the local university archery team. In exchange for use of the facilities, the range receives support from an enthusiastic group of young people who bring energy, enthusiasm, and attention.

    Kifaru 22inch Ultralight Platform Frame Questions

    Thanks for the many comments. To Luke's point, which is a concern I feel as well, what led me to kifaru in the first place was my first backpacking/spike camp hunt. On the last day, my buddy downed a buck which we dragged out on the snow for 6 miles to the truck, and then hiked back in to pick...

    Kifaru 22inch Ultralight Platform Frame Questions

    I was thinking of picking up a late season, but now I'm considering an 22 inch ultralight frame. I would use it for 2-5 night trips with a Tahr or custom bag of roughly the same size. My questions are: Is the 22 inch frame comfortable with 25-40lbs loads? Does it sag much? I have a g1 express...
