Sherman Pocket & 44 Mag

[RJC]

I haven't done it yet, but mine is attached and I'll give it a shot in the morning.

I really like the 550 cord to attach it. It maybe what I end up doing.

Thanks looking forward to it.

All you guys with a 44 mag and the Sherman pocket, Is it worth having the sherman pocket?
I have multiple medium belt pockets, and a guide lid I can throw on there, but like the idea of the sherman pocket and using it to haul a rifle. Tough to justify the money though.

100 percent. The sherman is one of the most versatile items . Its a grab it a weapon carrier a possibles pouch a stand alone final approach pack. It clips to anything . Its a must have item in my opinion.

Dang it, You're gunna end up costing me more money lol.

Okay so guys with the 44 mag, is there any reason to keep the guide lid? or do you find with the top compartments a lid isn't quite as necessary?

 

[freedomhunter25]

I don't use a guide lid on the top of the 44 mag . IT kind of defeats the purpose sort of , imo. The 44 has a "lid" with the compartments up top . Unless I needed a lot more room I wouldn't use it . IF you have to pick one or the other , yes a Sherman is more versatile , and you can use it on damn near anything.

The only reason I could see, and this is just speculation, to keep the Guild lid on the 44mag Is top compression if you wanted to stuff something under the lid, and/or a final approach pack similar to the way Snyder mounted the Bane to the Ma Deuce If you don't have a Sherman or bane as a small pack.

Yeah Honestly that's what Ive been thinking. I used the lid for that all the time. I'll probably keep it for a bit and see how I end up using it.
Thanks!

After playing with the Sherman and pocket "Legos" I'm not sure which way I like best.

The 2 top pockets (BFG large and medium) essentially fit the same gear as the Sherman.

I did switch the buckle orientation so the straps clip toward the center and can either dock to the bag or the Sherman.

Sherman is a great way to carry a bow

Will need to get it out on a hike to test it soon

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm curious if anyone has photos or can take photos of the load/meat shelf in the 44 Mag. I know most Kifaru bags don't have a meat shelf, but this bag is supposed to have one, yet I've seen no photos or videos of how it works compared to other packs like Mystery Ranch, Stone Glacier that have dedicated load shelves between the bag and frame.

Yes I think if you are only adding one extra pouch/pocket for storage this might be the one to grab, it is one of the the most versatile. I actually at some stage want to pick up a second sherman in blaze orange for when the situation requires it.

How well does the 44 Mag compress down to day hunt with? Is it worth using with only the bare essentials, or are you better off just using a different bag on your frame? I haven't seen one in person.

They have some pics/video of the 44 mag compressed down on the kifaru Instagram. It compresses really small with essentials and a couple pouches.

Thanks. I've looked at their youtube videos of the 44mag but I'll check out the IG.

I would also like to see different ways people have used this feature.

I was going to order a 22 mag for day trips and then get a 44 mag when needed for longer trips but you guys are making me rethink that and just get the 44 mag for both!

So my 44mag went to my girl and I picked up a Ma Deuce Which worked well for this last weekend's archery pack in hunt.

It compresses down well in day mode with day gear and spotting scope. I imagine the 44 would work similarly. Although after this weekend I'm not sure if I'd want less space than the Deuce.

When we were down lower truck hunting last week I still preferred my omni pack for out and back day hunts.

Can I use a sherman pocket on the 44mag to hold my bow while hiking? If so, does anyone have a photo?

You sure can. I do 6 straps.

I love kifaru for several reasons. But 1 huge reason is the modular portion . If you know what youre doing and how to load a pack. You can turn a 2000 inch pack into a 6000 pack and vice versa and use the pockets and attachments all across the line

Change-up, indeed. The Grab-it, and 500 Claymore(Sherman precursor) give much diversification to both my Timberline and my Antero.
