    airlines carry on

    I carried on a 26" BT1, but paid for early boarding. I got a look or two from attendants, but tried not to act guilty. I think early boarding is key. I put my optics and some other stuff inside to act as padding. I checked the bow case and rolling suitcase, and they got beat up. I had to have my...

    Kifaru Bikini Troubles

    I use an MSR 3 litre bladder in my Bikini/T1. Though the bulging bladder looked like it would be an issue, I forget all about it when I'm wearing the pack to hike or hunt. My back is going to sweat anyway, and the bladder doesn't stay full that long, as I'm sucking down water.

    Boot Waterproofing

    I first use Sno-Seal silicone waterproofing to impregnate the leather, then follow that with Sno-Seal beeswax waterproofing. Beeswax won't break down the leather or stitching, and is breathable. In two trips to Colorado, wearing my Lowa Tibets, my feet have yet to get wet, and the leather is in...

    What will I gain with a Kifaru?

    I recently flew with my BT1. I put binos, GPS, and a rangefinder in a daypack then stuffed that into the Kifaru. I also had my tent and sleeping bag in there. The daypack gave me a way to carry on my optics in the event that they made me check the BT1. With 26" stays the pack exceeded that...

    pack stay shape - does it matter?

    Agreed, SHTF. I suffer from the same condition as you. I too visited Kifaru on Monday, and learned why I'm having trouble keeping my BT1 from sliding down. Thanks again to Aron and Heath. Excellent customer service.

    Water Bottle-Kifaru Pack

    Thanks guys. Rambler, do you attach the large belt pouches to the bottom side of the pack, or to the waistbelt? I thought they would be too big for the waistbelt.

    Water Bottle-Kifaru Pack

    My BT1 will be here tomorrow. Although I use bladders, I'd like to carry a Nalgene or other bottle. I've used the mesh lower side pockets on other packs. Any suggestions for attached a bottle to the pack, other than the KU carrier offered by Kifaru? Thanks! Mark

    Decent reasoable priced Broadhead Target?

    Ruined a Block in one week shooting broadheads. Rinehart is still going after one year, though its getting shredded. No residue. Guess I should've kept my receipt.

    Backcountry bow repair kits

    Slightly off the topic, but Rodney, do you worry about your back-up bow being in a hot truck?

    iPhone use in the bush questions...

    Your phone's GPS is working now...Big Brother is tracking you-for free. You would pay for some of the GPS apps, but I'm sure that some are free. Google Earth is also free. Another benefit of using your iPhone for pictures is that they are geotagged. You can look back and see where a picture was...

    Bikini/HC & B.O.M.B bags question

    Thanks Luke. The meat Baggie and GenII aren't very expensive, and thought they may help to keep that load up higher instead of working its way down, displacing your gear.

    Bikini/HC & B.O.M.B bags question

    Perhaps I should've asked my question in a new thread, as my bag is a T1 and not a Highcamp. It seemed that the original question had been answered, and the thread had evolved into a larger discussion. My concern is trying to keep the meat load high up (actually my first concern is improving my...

    Bikini/HC & B.O.M.B bags question

    I have a BT1 and Grab-it on order (ship date less than two weeks away :D). I've been looking at Meat Baggies. Hanging Meat Bag, or Gen II meat bag. I was thinking I could detach my bag, as long as it isn't a PIA to do, and just use a GenII on the bikini frame, as pictured on Kifaru's site. But...
