    Yet another pick my pack list apart thread !

    I've used my jet stream exclusively in SE AK as a rain / wind hard shell. Never had an issue. Nice to have a tough shell that will handle the abuse. I don't have any experience with dew point or downpour jackets. If you have that many jackets to choose go with what works best for ya.

    DIY 5-String Compression Bag

    I modified a compression sack with 5 compression strings across and left the lengthwise compression lit with 4 webbing compression straps. prior to the mod it was like a basket ball. It compresses quite a bit more now that I can pull in the girth and then smash it down if needed. Turns it into...

    Using a 25-06 for Elk?

    I'm gonna pack one of these for Ak goat this fall and would do so for Elk without hesitating. A well placed shot, with a follow up or two will do the job.

    Proper back country coffee

    I'm all about some really good coffee, but in the backcountry I stick with Bucks via. It's too easy and delicious to pass up and you don't need any extra "gear" to brew a nice hot or cold cup, whenever. Just keeping' it simple.

    YES!! Hopefully Foster and I have some luck. SE has a lot to offer in Sept. If he scores the Etolin tag it's gonna be a fun packed two weeks.

    The 2014 Kifaru EMR II

    Ditto what Tiger said. The pack sucks down well and has tons of room. FG was a great color choice. I thought the LH lid was rather big and it will do well once I trim off what's not necessary. belt is great and the small KU belt pouches fit like a glove. I do appreciate the extra two small...

    I use garbage bags but I put them in a dry bag for the hike out. prevents tearing and blood all over your gear.

    The 2014 Kifaru EMR II

    That's exactly what I was told when talking to Kifaru about this exact topic. suck in the lower strap(s) and put the meat on top. If you hauling camp, create a shelf with gear. the grab it seems like a good option and I'm going to explore that once I get my EMR and grab it.
