Kifaru; Number 1 Pack

[hunt&fish]

AMR is my favourite to date. However I like / need a lot of cubic inches for long late season hunts. In my mind the perfect bag would be a 10 000 ci hoodlum.

I'm new to backpacking, but my Fulcrum is a hell of a bag! I don't see myself ever needing another pack for long trips. It seems to be very versatile. The Reckoning was number 2 on my list, but I didn't like the open top side pockets.

Both my reckoning and my DT1, the side pockets collect twigs and spruce needles like crazy. I keep saying I’m going to have flaps sewn on with a button, would be a easy fix, and still could run the pocket open if a guy wanted.

Sewing a buckle down flap is exactly what I was thinking if debris became an issue.

Now that I have my Hoodlum, boy this pack is going to be hard to beat!

Cavern is nice but it's out due to asymmetrical design. Don't like the Mountain Warrior. That gets me up to the Hoodlum. I like it. But getting on up there in size when, realistically, the Reckoning is almost certainly more than what I need. I think the [medium] Muskeg is also asymmetrical otherwise I like it.

I ended up getting the Hoodlum. I think I made the right choice after all.

I love my reckoning. I started with a woodsman which I also love but I hunt solo and i‘m a meat in the bag guy. It got pretty tight stuffing elk in that bag so I switched. Center zip is great. I also use a cargo panel and guide lid that I’m equally stoked with for day hunts and hauling out lots meat.

AMR quickly followed by the DT1 as the all time best bags for me.

I switched from the fulcrum as a single pack to dedicated packs and I’m loving it so far.

MaDuece and 22Mag...

The MaDuece is an absolute unit and can carry a ton of crap. A lot of guys “hated”‘on all the webbing, but as a notorious overpacker who likes things organized and easy to access, it allows me to keep a ton of stuff outside the main bag which I love.

This is from a 12 day trip after I had most of everything unloaded and taken out.

Native as a lid with organizer pocket and large belt pouch. Medium and small belt pouches on the main bag plus the two big side pockets that come on the MaDuece. I can get to everything I need quickly and drop the main bag for just the native. Move a couple things from pouches and side pockets on MaDuece into the native and I’m off and running.

MaDuece is my new favorite pack.
