For most of my hardcore backpacking for sheep and etc, I use my Barney's 7800 Yukon bag and frame. It can carry huge loads, is built like a tank and fits me well other than the waist belt can be a little problematic for me after a long hunt as I'm a size 32 at most in my waist before any weight loss. I'm pretty happy with it. The downside is that its fairly heavy at around 9 lbs and takes up a massive amount of room in my gear duffle bag when I have to fly to my hunts, which means a second gear bag and additional hassle at airports.
The GIF keeps telling that maybe that I should look at a Kifaru DT1 with the standard hunting frame or maybe the highcamp bag with the Bikini frame.
But in all reality, will I gain anything by switching over to Kifaru for my longer duration backpack hunts. I'm already a fan of their sleeping bags, pullouts and some of their other gear. Its good stuff. But will it carry typical loads as well as the Barney's system? My current setup isn't broken and doesn't need to be fixed. But if I can optimize it with a Kifaru, then I'll take a closer look.
