Hey everyone! This season I had the chance to put the Alaska Guide Creations KOBUK 2800 Backpack through the paces on my hunts, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you all. This isn't just any gear review—this is about seeing how well the pack holds up when it’s pushed to the limit in real-world scenarios.

Here are some of the key things I tested:
  • Durability: I subjected the KOBUK 2800 to rough handling, and it had to withstand some extreme weather and terrain conditions.
  • Functionality: I explored how easy it is to access gear on the go and how well the pack distributes weight when fully loaded.
  • Comfort: With long hours in the field, comfort is critical. I tested how well the pack’s harness system and padding held up, even when loaded down for extended trips.
If you’re considering this pack for your next hunting or outdoor adventure, I’ll break down all the important features and give you my honest opinion on its performance in the video gear review! Whether you're using it for day hunts or longer excursions, the KOBUK 2800 might just be the rugged, reliable backpack you're looking for.

Feel free to ask any questions about my experience with the KOBUK 2800, and I’ll be happy to dive deeper into how it performed in the field!

A ONE SIZE FITS ALL FRAME at that price? HARD NO!! The waste belt may be the most important part of a pack. Saying a belt can go from a 28" waste to a 50" waste is complete BS. The belt may fit. BUT DEFINITELY NOT FIT CORRECTLY!

So far I have been impressed with the way the waste belt fits! It is designed to make up or take up space behind the lumbar pad making it possible for the user to have the hip pad where they need them!
