      I’ll be buying a Kifaru pack before next season. I’m going to get another season out of my Dana Designs Terraplane X and save some money before I finally get a Kifaru.

    Kifaru makes great gear and their customer service is top notch! I've got 3 bags and two frames from them and three shelters at this point. Some may say kifaru "fanboy", but I say buy once, cry once, and KNOW the customer service is there just in case I need something. I can actually speak with a person. Not only a person that speaks English, BUT one that has experience with their products, hunting, what works, what don't!

    I have always been concerned about packing meat inside the main compartment of my bag (3600 Kuiu) versus using my load shelf, my thoughts on a load shelf is the meat has the ability to air out better and it's shaded from the sun, versus being cramped inside the bag as I'm hiking out the sun beating on the bag just makes me nervous for when I get to camp I'll have a slime ball in there. But I totally agree that the weight of gear being put farther away from the frame is a hard pack out if your pushing 8-12 miles back to camp.... Not fun, speaking from experience.

    Pretty awesome overview of one of the many packs that Kifaru offers. If it passes Aron and Frank’s hard testing then it’s legit. My cousin likes the Stryker and is looking at the Hoodlum and Reckoning. I have thought about the 44 Mag, but for $60 more one can get 2100 cubic inches more bag in the Hoodlum.

    Aron, Help! Super confused. I'm a newbie hiker - think 1-3-5hr treks on NYC forest trails - dirt, mud, rocks. I have no idea why Kifaru rec'd a minikeg (except they said it's the most padded). Female, 63, 1301bs, 5'6," 17" torso. Will def be carrying a light load (25-30L tops, but I hear ya...I started thinking I need 16in.). No dead animals! No guns. Maybe mace on NYC trails. A 24" frame for someone with 17" torso. Huh?? Was looking at Hill People as well as mainstream brands like (don't laugh) Gregory, Osprey, Mystery Ranch. I have back, shoulder and neck issues and a bad foot. With too much pressure: pain. Maybe Kifaru is overkill for me? You seem super honest. Be honest with me. The bags look great but they're pricey and I want to be practical and logical. Last matters why I came to you folks for honesty and wisdom.

People say great things on both, and I got a complete set up including 4 internal storage bags and 3 different kind of hip belt pouches for less than just the kifaru frame and pack.

      I’ve had the metcalf and I now have the hoodlum. The frame and belt on the kifaru is substantially better… no question! The build quality is better and the ability to customize is what converted me to kifaru. You will not suffer by having the mystery ranch at all. Stick with it and it will be fine for sure. Without a doubt the kifaru is better though.
