I'm considering the K4 series (probably the 5000) or the Kifaru Manimal with a 25" Ark Frame. After consulting with Kifaru, they suggested the 25" frame for carrying loads over 40 lbs.
I'm curious if anyone has experience with both setups and could share their thoughts. I am in search of a pack for Midwest public land whitetail hunting, as I typically walk more than a mile in. I need the capability to pack out if required. My back now prefers the stability and structure of a frame pack when carrying a platform, sticks, and all my gear. I also tend to pack more rather than less, so having extra room is important to me. Additionally, my late-season outer layers are quite bulky.
TIA
