Coming soon to a woods near you. Check out the “ Season “ thread pinned in elk forum or my IG for more details and pics.

Looks good let’s see how much they go for

Can’t wait to see it in person. I really like the fact that you can use it with or without an external frame.

i like what i see in the pictures. anxiously awaiting a video to get an idea of what thoughts went into the design. looks like it will be able to be run with the edc belt if desired. i'm having a hard time gauging how big it is based on the pictures. would like to see it next to some other packs.

Curious what material it's made of? Hopefully something quiet.

 

[ezmorningrebel]

I'm 99% sure it will be 500d cordura. Can't say it's ever been an issue for me in the tree and of I'm going to be strapping down trees and I would take a durable fabric over something quiet like fleece any day.

Super excited about this as well. Supposed to be available this week according to that last podcast.

If that is so, they are running out of week quickly

Looks like a zippy mixed with a zulu. From the pics it looks like it doesn’t slide on the frame. Just mounts to it via buckles?

I believe It's going to have the same shoulder straps and optional edc belt like the door Gunner with the option of being able to strap a stand/blind etc to a frame. No sleeve as the idea is that if you're using it with a frame, theres is somethig sandwiched between them and a sleeve doesn't do you any good

Kind of curios as to which hunters they are targeting with this? I've been WT hunting the NE for 30+ years and this has no place in my hunting.

Westerners?

My guess would be a whitetail hunter that hunts from a tree and needs pack organization, in areas that require their quarry to be hauled out on a pack frame. They have every thing else covered with other options.

This might be part of it and it will most likely appeal to people that just want a Kifaru.
I'm a DIY pulic land WT guy myself, who has pack many of deer out in recent years, but I just don't see where many of the other packs already out there wouldn't due. I'm guessing their working their way into that WT market?

For the record I have three Kifaru frames so I can't be a hater.
I have build the perfect WT system in my mind so I may be a little biased. I will say that if they want to capture the bulk of the WT guys it will have to be a silent fabric.

Nothing they currently offer has the organization a whitetail tree stand hunter needs as a stock pack. Yes, you can build one with pal pockets I suppose. But, none of them have the lashing panel for attaching a stand to them like this one appears to have. And, you could buy this, use it on a frame when needed, then use it on it's own when hunting areas that packing out your game isn't a requirement. I am having a hard time seeing where Kifaru has a current offering with that kind of potential. Different strokes for different folks I reckon. But, I'm confused why people are already stating they don't see this as being a logical answer for such use.

I was hoping for something different from Kifaru as a whitetail pack.

It is mostly my ill placed expectation. What I was hoping for was a pack for treestand whitetail hunting in the eastern woods.

 

[Mattt]

Yea. I did kill a deer with a bow in a white tee shirt once but that color hanging in a tree looks likes a big flag. I agree need to see it next to a known pack for size relevance.

 

[WV Mountaineer]

Why can't you hunt with this in a tree with or without the frame? 4 pockets at least. Able to be carried by it's own suspension. Am I missing something?





Are they not going to offer it in other colors? I'd say they will. However, it's been my experience the lighter colors in a tree helped much more then they hurt. Especially once the leaves fall.





These are serious questions. Am I missing something or, are you guys missing something?

I wanted to love it, but its yawnfest for me. Serves no purpose for anyone East of Kansas.

I’m not a white tail tree stand hunter but so I don’t understand what’s going on with this pack or why you couldn’t just put a stand on any other kifaru frame/pack combo.
