2014 Kifaru Nomad

[Aron Snyder]

Was there a price posted of what the nomad is expected to sell for?

Around $250

Thanks for the follow up Aron. How secure is the Highcamp if you didn't have the Grabit? I guess the better scenario is if you needed to use the Grabit to haul a cape or raft or who knows what else. Would you still feel secure with a full Highcamp?

Wow looks huge with the highcamp

Not sure what you mean.....

Hauling cape and full high camp at same time?

That is one hell of a pack Aron! You guys sure raised the bar with this one.

Aron, a few questions:

-When using the camp bag or something else as the center bag, is there enough room at the bottom of the frame for an extra pod to attach when the center bag does not extend past the bottom of the wings? The videos show that there is at least 6-8" of bare frame below the bottom of the wings...

-How much actual usable space do you have in each pocket in the wings when filled with "hard gear" (not sleeping bags)? Or are they designed to not encroach on each other's space? (This is why I asked for the vid of filling it with your actual gear )

-When center bags and wings are maxed out with actual camp/hunt gear, how well do the wings hug around the center bag? I have this mental image of the wings not forming around the center bag and end up just adding to the width of the whole pack...I'm sure I'm wrong though

Thanks for all the info Aron.

I like it the way it is. The long hunter lid and a couple belt pockets will be plenty of quick access storage for me. Plus when I hang stuff on the outside of my pack, it tends to get ripped off.

like your gun?
sorry too soon?

Yes, that space can be used for a pod.

Editing video now....sorry I did not get to it quicker.

You are not wrong....if you fill ALL the pockets of the wings up AND stuff the Camp bag full, the pack will be wide. This is why we listed the wings at 1,200 cubic inches, as the sleeves on the inside are for day hunting. They don't affect each other when stuffed and normal loads are between them, but do get wide with a giant load in the middle.

Here's a few photos with the high camp 4800 between the wings of the Nomad.

The Nomad/High Camp combo will give a little bit wider pack (when stuffed like in photo). The camp bag is slightly smaller in circumference than the High Camp.

well, i thought i wasnt interested in one of these at all, but now after seeing that and already having a HC48 bag, youve got me wondering..

Ahh I think I understand now what the purpose of the different pockets in the wings are for. Makes more sense now. Thanks Aron. Looking forward to that vid.

I know little buff has made digs at what you could spend on pockets, but we hoped everyone would see this as "use what you have and add if needed. That way the pack will be designed perfect for each persons needs.

Sorry, I am not being clear. I guess I am just asking if the Grabit is pretty much required to use a Highcamp with the Nomad to provide support?

The cape wasn't the best example so lets take a bow. With current packs, the Grabit can be used to lash all sorts of things to the pack and provide support for a bow or whatever. I just didn't know if you lose some of that capability if the Grabit is needed to support the center bag.

Its not needed, but I'm not sure why you wouldn't use it.

Dang this is what I have been looking for. Looks like the high camp is getting sold.

I hope the Kifaru staff enjoys their Christmas break because it looks like the will be busy as hell come the end of January!

 

[Aron Snyder]

My daughter and I just did a few videos with loading gear and full meat baggie.

Here's a couple photos of the gear layed out that was in the nomad, as well as the nomad full.

I didn't" fluff" the photo up to make it look perfect. I stuffed it just like I would when on the mountain.... video will show this.

Thanks Mike!

We tried to get this system to work for most everyone, and have the "BIG DADDY" available for everything else.

Any idea what the weigh difference is between the HC4800 and the Campbag?

I'd say you accomplish your task they're both pretty sexy additions to your lineup and you seem to be getting quite a bit of interest on here.

Any luck on getting pictures with the treestand loaded?
