    Talk Me Out of Buying A Gnargali

    Ive had a 44 and am now using a gnargali. I much prefer the gnargali myself but your dog will certainly disagree with me and think your blood soaked mag is much better tasting option.

    Akek giveaway?

    Ive seen some pictures online of a company from up here in Canada looking to sell the same pack under the name North Backcountry if youd prefer your alibaba pack to come in french instead! You can get them with a MOQ of 1 if you find the right sources

    7 to 10 day backpack

    Lots of variables depending on time of year and location so while a warm september hunt could be done with 3500ci it might take 6500 if its gonna be in BC with cold and rain thrown in the mix. Most packs made by the top tier brands will compress and work just fine for a daypack so id be more...

    Kowa spotting scope

    Ive had my 884 side by side to an atx65 and can honestly say the 884 resolved more detail on a building over 4 miles away but it was very close and that was during full daylight so the objective size would have little effect on it.

    New 2021 Kifaru Xpac Bags?

    The xpac fabric itself will keep the water out but the stitch holes will leak with enough rain over time

    New 2021 Kifaru Xpac Bags?

    Got the gnargali out for a trip on the weekend and it worked perfect for a replacement to the old highcamp ive been using. The side pockets are just right and that little slot sleeve is extremely useful and came in handy all the time. I ran it with 2 medium belt pouches and the sherman after...

    Tire pressures on long trips on/offroad

    The only disadvantage to airing down offroad is the time it takes. You get better flat resistance, more traction, a smoother ride, and less wear on suspension and steering parts. If you go to the one far extreme like I do in my big offroad rig and run between 1-5 psi offroad then any rock...

    Hiking with a loaded backpack in tennis shoes vs boots

    Load up your pack with 80+ pounds and go for a test loop with shoes and see how it goes for you. I know for my feet im pretty happy with shoes or light hikers up to about 35, but id never want to be out hunting and have to pack something out in them.

    Kifaru belt wearing out?

    Sometimes a good wash can help re-fresh the foam but over time and with lots of use it will break down and saturate with sweat and lose its ‘loft’. Id give them a call but you could be due for a fresh set of straps or even just a new foam lumbar insert.

    Does anyone know of an alternative to the Kifaru Bane pack or Kifaru Guide Lid that could be used to carry fishing gear?

    If you put a wanted add on here and on Kifaru insiders on FB theres a very good chance somebody has a bane, guide lid, or native theyd be looking to sell. They no longer make the native but that would also be a good option for what youre looking for.

    Kifaru Shape Charge vs Mini Keg

    I had the same situation and got a shape charge and am very happy how it has worked for me and how comfortable it is with being a shorter frame. With the kid I like having the extra organization as well as having the thinner shoulder straps that lay flat in the car. If youre more concerned with...
