Late to the party???? No more Mountain Rambler?

Pretty much as it states....guessing it was a flash in the pan? I kinda wanted one

A competitor had an issue with them due to the rifle sleeve. Last I heard they are reworking it and will release it later. I love my rambler. Such a versatile pack.

One of my favorite Kifaru offerings. I believe it will be back.

I was just thinking about this last night. They had to pull it due to a competitors complaint that it violated their patent. Aron has said that they will come back with a redesign of the rifle scabbard. After reading the patent I think they could fight it if they wanted as it was too vague to have even been granted in the first place, however that is the goal of a patent lawyer to get something through as vague as possible so that more things will infringe. There were a few small holes that you could poke in the patent with a redesign to get it re-released without having to give the lawyers a bunch of money. I have some ideas, but I'm sure Aron and Bender are already working on something.

I guess if I were Eberlestock I would be clawing trying to cling onto a "patent"...but in my mind that's like trying to "Patent" pants.....is it really a revolutionary design or concept to put a rifle in a sock? FM

I realize I'm late to the party commenting on this thread but given the title I think it's ok. My view is it's really petty of eberlestock. The outdoors community is small, tight, and collegial. It's built on innovation and simply making gear better, for the increased enjoyment of the sport. Here you have a company putting out a pack its customers were asking for (and it's certainly a great pack). And you have a very small mind putting up a stink, to the detriment of the community at large. Eberle made a really bad decision here. He's on both sides, marketing his product as bespoke outdoor gear but selling it and defending it like a box store commodity. I would just as soon not pass him on the trail, since he clearly doesn't belong out there.

I'm willing to bet the gen 2 rambler will be improved, with time in the field and customer feed back, Bender and Aron back at the drawing board. I can only expect good things.

I personally would like to see a roll top instead of the drawstring and tab loops to add a belt pouch top side if I don't want to run a guide lid.

Still not 100% sure how the lid is suppose to attach or if I like the way I attach it.

As said versatile pack that has a lot of options.
