I'm looking at buying a new bag and would love to see one before I purchased it. Are there any stores on the East coast that carry these high end bags?

Thanks!

I would like to see some packs in person as well. Shopping on-line and think I know what I want but would love to put hands on in the SW VA region.

No stores that I'm aware of anywhere around here. I'm in Winston Salem, NC. I have a Kifaru duplex with an EMRII and a mountain rambler on the way that'll be here next week. You can check mine out if you'd like.

Thanks Tiger ... Just reading I really like the EMR II .... If I'm down that way I may try to catch up with you. I appreciate site it. What steered you to the duplex instead of bikini?

Nice offer Tiger Rag, Thank you. I passed through your area last week. Maybe I'll get by again after you get the Mountain Rambler, that's one I'm considering.

Pm if you want to come by. Just opened the Kifaru box on my rambler as I write this.

Thanks Tiger. Have fun with your new piece of gear. Add some pics and feedback to the Mountain Rambler Live thread after you have played with it for a while.

Backpack Hunter - PM returned. Thanks

Thanks for the offer ez, those are good choices to check out. Look at the Rally Point thread for WV and VA - seems like folks may be trying to get a hike together for a meeting and pack comparison with a little exercise.

Just to add, I have a Kifaru Australian Mountain Ruck on the way. So 3 Kifaru options to check out currently - EMR II, Mountain Rambler, and AMR. Definitely need a rally point hike to work up a little sweat and share gear ideas!
