I have a Kodiak and havent needed a stove yet...propane heater is plenty. I also have the Alaknak 12x12 with wood stove. It is great for cold weather. It has a zip-out floor panel so the stove sits on bare ground. There is nothing like laying in the sleeping bag, listening to the crackle of burning wood and watching the glow of the fire.

I want to give a big kudos to Kuiu and Tim. I ordered the Icon Pro 3200 and received it just a few days later. I had a couple issues with the fit, so I posted on their FB page. Tim responded promptly and asked me to call him. He was very courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. We decided I may need the regular frame instead of the tall, so Tim expedited the order and I had it in two days. I now have a better fit that should work for me. Now I just have to hit the trail for a real test. Thank you Tim and Kuiu for a good experience!

What year, model Kuiu pack? I read they had trouble with the older frames. I believe they redesigned it last year. I just bought the Icon Pro 3200. I had a little trouble with the fit using the tall frame. Now I have the regular size frame and fits me better. The pack looks like good quality materials and assembly. The true test will be when I get it on the trail.

What's the difference between bonus points and preference points? I know some states have a preference system.

Great information!! I have been thinking of doing this for a couple years. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

I bought my wife one of these, without the safety. I like it so much that I want one now. I do not want the safety though....otherwise I would consider this deal. I have a Kytex mag pouch for my XDs .40 and really like it. What is the Talon grip? Is it a grip tape or wrap?

I think there is a rodeo going on in Cave Creek.

Cougar rodeo. A couple lassos would stretch him out.

B.S.!!

I saw them at the show. Very nice!...great job!!

My hunting buddies are not tech savy. They rely on me to do the map work. I'm the one making/printing custom maps for new areas, which can take hours. I hand them each a map and it never comes out of their pack...if it makes it to the pack.

Probably Sunday.

Me too. I love maps, especially topo maps and Google Earth. I do a ton of scouting on my PC.

I've guided a lot of youth/newbies on their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd hunt and had a ball. No pressure....they are thrilled just to be hunting. No money can replace the reward of a youth's excitement....and knowing you got another newby hooked for life. For a business, I think I'd rather be a camp outfitter than a guide. I have a servant's heart and love providing a comfortable camp, cooking, retrieving/skinning game, etc. If the hunter needs advice or help glassing, I'm there, but not responsible for finding a trophy. I love that part of it too but the pressure may take the fun out of it.

That's what I did with mine. I sprayed it down pretty heavy...no leaks. The only negative IMO is the awning. It's OK for shade, but worthless for rain. If rain is expected, I setup a popup canopy at the front door and tie the awning up underneath the canopy.

What torso length does this fit? Does the L/XL belt fit a 35" waiste? Why are you selling?

What makes it a "long range" model? It looks to be the same size/height as my Optics model. They are great packs, and this one looks to be in great shape.

You can find Apache Tears in the abandoned pits east of Picket Post and SW of Superior. Check Google Earth...you can't miss it. They are easy to dig up and easy to find, once you get the hang of it. On the Rim you can find large petrified shells, about golf ball size. Like mollusk or similar.

WOW!! Beautiful buck!

+1 for Badlands. If you ride a quad or UTV, dust is a concern...get a fully enclosed unit. It is a little bulky on the chest, but not bad. I have Leica Trinovid 12x50 in mine and still have room inside for lens pen, lens cleaning pads, license, small map, etc...

Awesome! That's a heap of fun!

So...the 3M filters are no good? I run the one in the red package. I think it's their mid-performance filter....about $10 each. What is really irritating is the markup on parts.

Man! It looks like that pack could tell some stories!

Is the dump bed disabled with the full cage?

Man! I can't believe this stuff hasn't sold. Great prices on great tech clothing. I have the Chama hoody and love it. I would consider buying this piece but I'm at the upper end of the medium range on the sizing chart. I think a large is better for me for layering.
