I need a more comfortable and better fitting system than the one I am currently using. I am currently using a Molle shoulder strap and waist belt on my Summit Goliath climber carrying it cables down. The Molle waist belt is too small for me and it looks like I need a larger waist system until I get drop some weight. I am 5'10", 200lbs, with a 41" waist measured with a tape. I wear size 38 in blue jeans.
I plan on keeping the frame attached to the stand until the end of January, then start using the frame for training and hiking with a pack. I will be doing a Western Elk hunt in 2020 so I need to start training and getting ready yesterday.
I have been doing a bit of research and think I will start with a Kifaru, I want to be able to put a pocket on each side to carry my pull ropes and wallet/keys.There are three frames offered and I am like most here and automatically fancy the new Duplex lite. But, I see that on the Duplex frame, it does not have the tabs/connection points (?) sewed into the back rails like the Tactical (3)/Hunter(2) does. So, would I be better with the tactical with those connection points for what I am planning on doing? I could always buy a Duplex when ready to elk hunt and just use it for that.
Has anyone gone this route on here have any pics of there setup that is not already posted here or in the whitetail section? What would you guys recommend if doing the same?
