    Kifaru 14'r

    The Kifaru 14'r is a fantastic pack; I actually wrote the review posted earlier. As others stated, you certainly *can* haul a load of meat in the 14'r, and I actually packed a roadkilled Mule Deer out, but 60-70lbs is getting a little beyond where the 14'r is going to be comfortable. If...

    How far will Swaro Z5 get me?

    You could try a canted (say 20MOA) base to give you some additional adjustment.

    Knife of choice

    Havalon for skinning/deboning. Maybe it has something to do with watching First Blood/Rambo as a kid, but it took me a long time to accept the fact that I just don't use a knife all that often and so I stopped carrying a sheath knife as it wasn't worth the weight. At times I'll carry a Mora...

    Recommend a saw!

    Not really "elk specific", but I consider my Bahco Laplander saw a must-have. Inexpensive (around 20 bucks), lightweight, and works fantastic on anything and everything I've tried to cut.

    Kifaru pack adjustment

    Hi Garrett - This is Mick; after being a long (LONG) time Kifaru fanboi, I actually started working here a couple of weeks ago.

    New backpack from Kifaru - The 14'er!!!

    Yep. All part of the fun!!! BTW - Nothing personal against you LBFowler; no real offense was meant. I didn't want the thread to derail too much and I just couldn't resist the dig by posting the cheap pack. Hopefully it came across as "funny snarky" instead of "angry internet guy snarky."...

    New backpack from Kifaru - The 14'er!!!

    If I offended anyone, please focus your wrath on me and not Kifaru. Yeah, I was admitedly a little snarky but I didn't take the pictures and create this thread to compare other packs - it is about the 14'er.

    Solar Panels vs. Battery Pack - 8 Day Hunt

    In my experience, I don't take a solar panel without a battery pack. Trying to charge a cell phone, iPad, whatever, directly from the the solar panel doesn't really work long term. So, I clip the solar panel to my pack and charge the battery pack during the day and then use the battery pack to...

    New backpack from Kifaru - The 14'er!!!

    Nope; I wish I could help, up I'm not even familiar with the "TarryAll." Regarding questions about comparison to other packs and/or manufacturers such as - I'm honestly not sure how to answer them. And, in a lot of cases I simply don't know if it is even fair/correct to accurately refer to a...

    New backpack from Kifaru - The 14'er!!!

    New backpack from Kifaru - The 14'r!!! Disclaimer: I don't work for Kifaru, but I was given the pack in a kind of "pictures for pack" deal. Aron has seen me over the years more than once while out hiking, at Whole Foods (He's always buying peanut butter bars) and before I knew who he was I...
