    500d vs 1000d

    With my Kifaru packs, I've preferred the 500D fabric over the 1000D --- I like that it is not as stiff. I can't speak to the waterproofness, though. I don't know if it holds for the Cordura fabrics, but Kevin at Seek Outside has mentioned that in the standardized Tabor abrasion tests (Taber...

    There was a recent thread discussing how to make a Kifaru Duplex frame with adjustable height, and someone mentioned Seek Outside/Paradox packs have this capability. sneek-ee also posted some updated pictures of his Seek Outside pack (the cougar picture is awesome) --- check it out...

    Help with sleep system for the wet and windy Pacific Northwest

    Fortunately, I have an MSR Hubba Hubba NX that would work well, too... so I may very well end up using that. I'll still need to solve the sleeping bag issue, though. It is pretty amazing how soaked you get just walking through the salal and ferns, even after the rain has stopped. I figure the...

    Help with sleep system for the wet and windy Pacific Northwest

    Oh yes, I know that well enough! Some of last year's day hunts left me soaked to the bone and the goretex shell/bibs didn't do much, if anything, to help. I've switched over to HH Impertech rain gear at the expense of weight and breathability (not that goretex with a soaked outer shell breaths...

    Help with sleep system for the wet and windy Pacific Northwest

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll put down back on the list of possibilities and check out the recommendation on the Montbell. The Woobie that was on the exchange a couple of a days ago also got me curious --- would a Woobie or Doobie make a reasonable loose-type quilt in a bivy, or is that...

    Help with sleep system for the wet and windy Pacific Northwest

    Hi all, To be honest, I'm very new to backpacking and camping in general, but I've been slowly building up my kit and now feel that I want to start spending some nights in the woods to learn the skills and prepare for the 2017 blacktail season. For shelter, I have a megatarp and medium ti...

    Thoughts on why Kifaru Mountain Rambler is no longer available?

    So now that I added "patent" to my searches for info, I found the reference from Aron to the infringement claim: What happened to the Mountain Rambler?

    Thoughts on why Kifaru Mountain Rambler is no longer available?

    The possible patent infringement is something I hadn't thought about --- if that's true, I can probably guess the competitor. That would certainly be a good reason for it being removed. I've only been following Kifaru's products for a couple of years, but it seems like they've really ramped up...

    Thoughts on why Kifaru Mountain Rambler is no longer available?

    Hey all, I remember there was a lot of interest when the Rambler was first announced, especially around the integrated load shelf and scabbard. I bought one as my first Kifaru pack and was very happy with it, but I wanted a lighter and simpler bag, so I switched over to the Tahr in 500D. I...

    Kifaru Late Season models

    Thanks for the info, guys. I no longer feel like a fool for having sold my spare aluminum duplex stays but a couple of weeks ago. It's good to know, as well, about the size difference. When I received my Late Season, which I believe is the latest model, I was surprised by the amount of room...

    Kifaru Late Season models

    Hi all, I've been researching my latest new-to-me pack, which is a Kifaru Late Season, and in this process, I've learned that there have been several models of Late Seasons over the years: - original (G1) Late Season (I think this was the one that was black with the fleece camo/blaze orange...

    Installing stove jack on Seek Outside BT2

    Hi all, I would like to install a stove jack on my Seek Outside BT2. Unfortunately, being in Canada it's a little problematic to ship my BT2 back to Seek Outside for a factory installation. As a result, I'm looking to purchase a jack and install it myself. I could order one from SO, but Bear...
