New pack recommendation?

Sounds like kifaru for the win.

How many of you Kifaru guys have tried mystery ranch? Isnt there set up similar?

Mystery ranch shows up sometimes on camofire. Never once saw Kifaru there.

It’s a gun bearer. You can kinda put it any where in the pack. It’s made to be off the belt kinda out in front of you for easy access but I’ve never liked it like that

I have been using the Kuiu Icon 3200 for a few years and really like it.  It’s super light and can haul meat between the pack and the frame, I looked at Kifaru but they seem a little heavy, but well built.  The new Kuiu 3600 has some upgrades from the 3200 that I have.  The Kuiu is far superior to the Outdoorsmans or eberlestock when you care about weight and versatility.  Don’t have any first hand knowledge of kifaru in the field.  I’d take a seriously look at Stone Glacier as well.  I have some buddies who are pretty picky about gear and they love their stone glacier packs....

The carbon frame is made in the US, the bag and harness say Vietnam.

My setup too. I prefer the gun bearer on the front but the Reckoning is a kick-butt bag for sure. Kifaru gives you multiple options.

Amen. I'll be 9 days living here out of a Reckoning in a few weeks. Three shooters found this past weekend.

I like to run this rig for super versatility. I have a Longhunter Top Lid with all my essentials. Below is a Cargo Panel inside a Pod all on a Duplex frame. I can add stuff sacks/duffle style bags at will. Probably 4.5# tops. (Actually weighed it with strap kit and cargo panel as shown. 7# on the dot. With a Grab it, cut off like 2.5 or 3 lbs.)
