I am just the opposite, would like a 2800 with side pockets or so in that material with a lid......use the load shelf for extra space, but the 2800 would be about right for day hunting.......
Ordered mine today on the 'try it before you buy it' program. Will put it thru the paces this weekend and see how it carries. It looks good on paper to me, but want to see personally.
The 20% down is not only to avoid PMI, but to keep people from buying more house than they can truly afford.....
OP- run your income against your current bills and a house payment with PMI and house insurance escrow..........I wouldnt go over 20% of my monthly income for a house payment.
20% down, if you cant, I wouldnt buy it, just my .02. Then as someone stated above, 30yr on bi-weekly payments. Make each payment just enough to equal one extra payment per year.......pay off in 20 years.....
Have had Stone Glacier & Mystery Ranch, but now have Alaska Guide Creations, Seek Outside, and Initial Ascent........just noticed this. Kudos for branching out!!!
If you only hunt a few days or a one week per year, any of the SG, Kifaru, Exo, Seek, MR will work......find one in the classifieds and get to rucking in prep for your hunt....
