Gear Check...

[a3dhunter]

gonna be a tough decision....both packs are great.


..Plus Kifaru is proven, over and over and over...

Looks like an easy decision to me.

With Murphy's law out there. I'd go with the Kifaru!

Jdog.... I passed on a sheep that could be the twin to the one over your right shoulder (left side of photo)... I was second guessing the decision at the time and couldn't get a good look to age him without having to spend the night on the hill. Needless to say, now I really am kicking myself!! At least it is early yet! Looks like we have a lot of the same gear, hard to find stuff that works for us plus sized guys! I am 6'5" and unfortunately quite a bit more than 240...

J-dog,

Either or the packs give you shoulder lift at that height?

I watched that guy and determined he was right at legal after watching him for 3 days! It took a while but paid off in the end--right at legal and full curl. My first DIY sheep hunt.

It can be tough to find stuff to fit...especially tents--length in particular! And I usually wear gators or I look like PeeWee Herman out there with highwaters!

J-dog,

Not sure how to determine that?

 

[cmeier117]

Not sure how to determine that?

Are the load lifter attachment points on the pack higher than your shoulders? I am guessing not from the pictures. You are really tall!

6'8" but shrinking in my old age!

Hey jdog..
which tent did you decide on? that one must be a tough find at 6'8".

 

[Jdog]

went with the Nallo GT3...fits two gumbies like me and my brother.

I am 6'8" and he is 6'7"--we have problems!

 

[bearguide]

the nallo is great

 

[Jdog]

Decision made last night...Kifaru gets the nod.
Its a bit bigger and feels more durable...but a bit heavier.
