I don't use a hip quiver. But, if I did, it would be that Kifaru. I use a modified ground quiver, that I taped a plastic cup to, so my field points aren't touching the ground. Just some backyard engineering.

Have a question with regard to the initial ascent vs kifaru. I have had experience with eberlestock and mystery ranch. I found both not comfortable. The eberlestock just one was definitely not comfortable. Te mystery ranch was more comfortable but I had problems with the hip belt constantly loosening itself. Had to stop way too much to retighten. What are your thoughts on the kifaru and initial ascent in regards to slippage of waist belt under load?
@ELKSHAPEGEARКүн бұрын
I have not had either of them slip under load. I think that with any pack that if you have enough weight, on it will get a little uncomfortable and I will adjust a little hear and there just so the discomfort is in a different spot. Both Kifaru and Initial ascent are way more comfortable than either of the packs that you mentioned. I prefer the Initial ascent because of the bag and the ability to hang extra weight off the hooks on the side of the frame.

I solo single trip packed out a spike bull, it was miserable. A word of caution, one slip and you trash a knee and you just changed your life and not for the better.
@ELKSHAPEGEAR4 күн бұрын
For sure! You will break before this pack does! I broke a fibula on a pack out due to a slip and fall! So you do have to take into account the terrain and your personal abilities. But this pack will help you pack whatever weight you decide more comfortably.

I have went thru so many packs. Last year during late season i purchased initial ascent 8k and it was best purchase i have ever made. I can haul anything i want for a 10+ day backcountry hunt with this pack and with ease. There is so many great features id be typing all night. I literally have the pack with all the accessories and its one bada** system. Hiked 7 miles all up hill to where we camped with 80+lbs in my pack and it felt like nothing. No hip pain no shoulder pain. Do yourself a favor and your body a favor and try an initial ascent pack

I bought a 5K in July for my first elk hunting trip out west. I was with two other friends that had other brands and they could not get over the versatility and comfort of the IA. Both committed to buying an IA before our next trip out west. I have since added the pannier load carrier to make a day pack for whitetail hunting in Indiana. The pannier and top lid make a great whitetail setup as I can strap my climbing sticks and tree stand to the 5K with ease.
