Another Kifaru Adjustment Thread.....

[ndbwhunter]

I'm having some issues with my pack. So, before I start bugging Aron, I want to try and get it figured out on my own (with help from roksliders). I thought I had it adjusted, but after a few 60lb training hikes, I found that I cannot keep the pack from slipping down off my hip bones. I still have a little bit of a gut, so tightening the waist belt makes me look like an overfilled muffin cup! Aside from still being a little fat, I think the shoulder straps are the main issue, so I'll make those adjustments first. I also noticed that the should straps were digging into the side of my chest/armpit.

Does anyone know if the instructions on the link below are still up-to-date?

Hope that helps.

that just part of running the belt unless your super skinny, the belt is going to create a pronounced gut.

I don't mind looking a little fat. I just wanted to make sure that it was normal to have the belt that tight. I probably haven't been running my belt tight enough. Thanks

Yup run that thing as tight as you can, when taking picture loosen it up

So are the instructions in the link I posted still accurate?

I'm hoping to be skinnier when the need for pictures comes around. In the mean time, I'll just keep sucking it in when I walk past the women on the trails
