What packs are all you gram weenies using?

18 oz (if you want the side zip, it adds 2 oz)—I think that's in 200X which is probably an ounce-ish lighter than the Ultragrid

Holy cow. That’s 20oz lighter than a K4 5000.

Has anybody fit one to a K4 frame?

I have the Arc Haul 60L and I wouldn’t trust much weight in it past 35lbs. I have used on 2 20 mile Appalachian trail hikes and it appears to be separating at the seems. I plan on just running a Kifaru no matter if I am hiking or hunting.

Interesting to see the feedback here. IN general, seems like people don't go ultra light with the hunting bags even if they are ultra-light-inclined people. I purchased a seek outside pack a few years back and despite the quality and adjustability, I never found it comfortable with heavy loads.

I just ordered an EXO K4 and look forward to improved comfort. Perhaps there is a middle ground but I haven't seen it.

I’m waiting for the Exo K4 ultralight that’ll prolly come out next year.

The Exo K4 frame + my own little home-made pack. It's about 4.6 lbs. No lid and probably only about 3200 capacity. I also swap put the Exo carbon stays for aluminum ones when I'm just scouting. Those Exo stays are 6.6 oz for the pair.

Has anybody fit an Ultra fabric bag to a K4 frame?

I've been using the SG Terminus 8700 this summer for scouting. Been a Kifaru guy for about eight years. I think the Kif probably can handle weight a little better. But for me the Kif belt chafed my hip bones horribly.

This SG js a lot more streamlined. Compresses to day mode a lot better then the huge kifaru bags. It's a great do all. I can say hunt with it then do a late season week with it. And it's 4lb. Which is crazy for how huge it is.
