Alright so like so many other people on this forum, I can't pick which kifaru pack to get. Pretty sold on the duplex frame and now it comes down to pack. Spoke with Aaron on the phone a few months back and had it narrowed down to a dt 2 or 1. I can't thank home enough by the way. Then they came out with the new ones. Now I feel bad calling him back because I know how busy he is. I know I can't go wrong with any but have a few questions for those of you who have run the timberlines. Does mounting the rifle on the side of a timberline and lashing it down a make for a pain when packing. I've carried rifles this way before without a problem, but would it be better in the rambler? I'm mostly a bow hunter but sometime take the rifle out? Also how comfortable is the gun bearer? Worthwhile purchase or no? Mounting a bow to the dt1/2? is it a pain to get to the outside pockets with the bow mounted? Compressibility of the timberline 1? Will it get as tight as a rambler or T2 or rambler? And finally carrying meat. If I wanted to put the meat between the frame and main bag is it a hassle with the timberlines, Or is it pretty easy? As you can see I'm weighing my options between the rambler and timberline series. I could probably care less about the rifle scabbard but may be nice for arrow box or really long hike with a rifle. Like the smaller size of the rambler for day hunts but can see myself almost building what the timberline already is with extra pockets for a lot more money. Love the meat shelf idea but if I can do it fairly easily with a timberline, then the extra cubic inches may be nice? Right now I'm looking at hunting out of a pack for a week tops. Mostly a few days at a time. Hoping to grow into longer trips though as time goes on. Any info is much appreciated and sorry for the long post.
Thanks
