New member. I believe(if the deal goes well) I am putting together my 1st Kifaru pack. I posted asking opinions of the DT3. Seemed that it's neither Fish nor Fowl and is semi unpopular. But just like my teenaged boys....I couldn't listen and take advice. It is THE pack that I have been wanting since the regular T3s hit the market. Been chasing one a while. I work outdoors. BackCountry snowmobile, snowshoe, SAR and help teach Land Nav/Survival type classes. I feel I could use this pack EVERYDAY, not just 1-3 hunts a year. I mentioned that I am only a bear/deer hunter and do not high country hunt for extended trips. 4 days or less.
With Aron getting onboard with Kifaru it seems there is a new pack, trinquet, or something about every month. And quickly what was once the "rage" is Old Hat in a year. Not that the older stuff is junk, just everyone has to have the "current" neaty-cooly.
I do recall seeing a video of the meat shelf? but cannot find it. Took me a good while to find the shelf kit on the Kifaru page. From what I recall of the video, the shelf is hooked on to the bottom of the frame and creates a 6" wide shelf of sorts, to prevent a meat baggie from slipping out.
This is pretty much how I envision what I am trying to do or accomplish. I already have the tube style Meat Baggie. I do NOT see my hunts as a 1 trip out type of endeavor. I would guess from all of Aron's pics, he and others only make one exit.
I would guess I could do this with a medium sized deer. Pealing the cape and taking only skull cap would be that much easier. But I am aware a full bear hide is a pretty bulky load with skull attached. I've done it before. Eberlestock not happy, hence the upgrade.
So I am asking opinion of What's the most Bang for the Buck in outfitting a BT3 system? Can a Grab-It replace all the functions of the meat shelf, yet add more universal function?
If you were required to make a 2nd trip, what would you strip off the frame and what would you attach?
