Thank you for your content on the pack! Your vids were the reason I picked the pack I did. I went with the EXO and couldn't be more happy with my decision! I hunt out west in AZ and the easy access water sleeve and the easy access shelf set up was the information that set me in the direction of EXO. Also simplicity matters to me as well, I think more pockets make me feel like I needed to put stuff in them, I tend to over pack! I packed out a nice big body mature coues buck in the EXO and it made that pack out really nice! I was sold after the completion of the packout! I was able to pack out my entire buck in one load as well as my 4 days gear without any issues. I also love the side sleeves for easy access to my Swarovski 95 STX spotter that fit perfect in the side sleeves. The ability to stow my rifle on the other side in the opposite sleeve was also $$$, perfect for balancing the load layout.

The fact that the hip pain improved with each pack-out makes it seem more like a musculoskeletal issue (possibly stemming from abductor weakness) than the fitment of the Kifaru, especially when it felt comfortable when stationary and walking on level ground. I'm not saying definitively, but it's possible you could've had a similar issue with the Exo or SG pack if you'd used them around the same time. Just offering another possible explanation. Thanks for taking time to make this 2-part review because it's been helpful for me before buying my first hunting pack system.

I’m hoping I like my kifaru I ordered and that it fits me. I think I will like the bag (hellbender) I picked out. A smaller internal storage but I am pretty sure I’ll be able to fit a 40/50L dry bag between it and the frame which will provide me more than enough room and at the same time it will make for a good day hunt bag.

Great review! I have been using a Kifaru for 9 years, but have experienced the same hip pain that you described. So I decided to do my own personal "review". Borrowed a K3 & bought the SG xcurve. After giving them some side by side weighted hikes I think the SG is going to be my personal winner. Packs are like boots, they fit each person differently.

I did a review on the Cabela's multi day pack a few years ago (very different class of pack). I have been looking hard at the EXO and the Stone Glacier packs. I live in Idaho and in the Boise area, so I am leaning to the EXO, and this confirmed that choice. Plus it comes in First Lite pattern, if your into that type of thing. Very well done. And yes, 2021 was a hot one in Idaho, thinking this 2022 season will be cooler. Good luck this year.

I worked with Kifaru to make some adjustments, but I could never get the issue to really go away completely. I even bought a smaller waist belt, but still no luck. I am hoping to pick up the EXO this year and give it a try as well! I started my backcountry endeavors with a Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80 and I actually really enjoyed that pack! Thanks again for making this investment in these packs, they are not cheap as you noted! Here's to happy hunting!

Thanks, Todd! I wanted my Kifaru to work out so bad, but I just never could, unfortunately. I just concluded that my body just didn't mesh well with the suspension (or I'm doing something wrong). I just bought the Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80 and took it out on an overnight camping trip yesterday. It's a decent pack, but I'm already experiencing some issues with fit. I think I just need to play around with it a little bit more first. The Exo is definitely a solid choice!

@@801tb the main deciding factor was comfort when heavily loaded. I also really prefer having more pocket options than the stone glacier. Also the price of course made it easier to get into one to begin with. The stone glacier and exo were both owned by friends. And one got rid of the exo and went stone glacier after trying kuiu and the other still has the stone glacier. Probably cant go wrong with any of them. Best advice is to try and find one to try out. Make sure you can store stuff in a way you can get to the stuff you want and organize in a way you like . And i feel most importantly throw a excessive load in it and try hiking for a while.

I hunt oregon and Idaho the only time, the inside got wet was when the ice on the out side thawed and soaked in overnight. But during the days it snowed and rained while I was walking the inside did not get wet. I do believe there’s a video of Aaron Snyder talking about how waterproof it is.

Hello I live in Arizona and I am new to your channel probably one of your newest subs I watched both videos and I came away with you wanted the kifaru to be your choice because of whatever reason maybe even because it was your first purchase? Or concerns for the kifaru mob...anyways I am new to kifaru and there description of their belt is cupped and contour which makes me wonder about the super heavy loads. Btw most people should not have more than 85 pounds for any length of time your a beast for not a giant guy. My question is if your bag was never going to haul more than an elk quarter etc in weight would you have a problem picking if weight of a trip would never exceed 70 pounds? Did you say their belt was your favorite until tipping point of load pack out? FWIW I just bought a kifaru bag only to put on a Bullpacs frame I have had for 20 years. I am modifying the frame to accept the Kifaru I will someday by a new pack for my teenage son when he stops growing it will be one of the SG or EXO probably Thanks for your content really like your style

@@SamongOutdoors I would have to agree. Owning both also, your points were spot on. One thing I like about the Exo is how fast you can get the bag off compared to the glacier. But at the same time, I prefer the load shelf design of the glacier. After having the side pockets and the bladder pocket, I don’t know how I survived without them 😅 I haven’t experienced the slippage, but I can say I’ve had some with my glacier. I definitely like how exo incorporated the pull tabs on the belt to loosen it. I hate that about my Exo after cinching the belt down real tight.

@@hisdesciples I haven't had any personal use with the Kuiu Pro line so I can't say. The Pro 6000 is my next pack to purchase. The Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80, Kuiu Pro 6000, and Seek Outside will be my next pack project for sub $600 packs.

Which bag could you put a large whitetail in when your alone in the bush

If you're not wanting to spend $500+,,, the Cabela's multi day 4000 will get your whitetail Home for $220... It has all the needed features (water bladder/rifle or bow sling & carrier straps/side pockets for Spotter or poles/detachable bag for meat shelf capabilities) & it's fairly quiet for a big pack..... I used mine for deer & I bring it with me for elk too.... My other extra packs are Alps outdoorz Commander & Cabela's prestige bare framed packs for straight meat hauling when someone else gets an elk

All of these packs have the ability to haul meat inbetween the bag and the frame so they would be the same. To put the meat in the bag itself, the bigger the bag the better. All three packs will handle your whitetail deer no problem if you don't have too much gear already in the pack.

The Exo Pack in the review, what is the torso size? Per Exo website there are 2 options "short" or "tall" I am about your height so I want to just get little better perspective.

Found your videos at a perfect time. Excellent video! Think I'm going kifaru. Just not sure if I want 44mag or 357 mag.
@SamongOutdoors
@SamongOutdoors 2 жыл бұрын
Kifaru is a great choice. Aside from the difference of bag size between the 44 mag and 357 mag, the main difference is that the 357 cannot break the bag away from the frame while the 44 mag can. I have no experience with the 357, but it seems like a solid choice if you don't care about the load shelf.

Ironically, yes lol. I used it the least because I had to spend more time trying to fix the issues with the other packs which resulted in less time with the pack that didn't have any issues.

Awesome review samong! What do you think about badlands gear? Do you own any of the packs? If not you should check them out, love the quality and their lifetime warranty is awesome!
@SamongOutdoors
@SamongOutdoors 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I used Badlands Packs in 2016 and 2017, and some of their other gear from 2016-2020. They make great products at their price point, and do have a great warranty. But when I compare the overall packs to the Stone Glacier, Exo Mtn Gear, and Kifaru, the Badlands doesn't stack up against them in my experience. Granted, I have not used any of the new Badlands packs that they have released in the more recent years so it could be different. I've owned and still have too many Badlands products to count lol.
