Kifaru Pack Setup/Wearing Tips

I think that the most important thing is to pay attention to the specs... If I did some math prior to ordering I would know what I'm getting into. I didn't pay attention, wanted something strong, durable and I got it. Didn;t expect to pay the price in weight thou.

I'm getting TADs FAST 2nd Gen pack so will see... I still have two long pockets from kifaru so I will find the way to attach them.

I thought I'd point out that unlike most military packs, the Kifaru Marauder does indeed have an internal frame (I only found out about this recently). While it doesn't negate Matt's comments, I think it is a very importaint distinction because it makes the Marauder much more approprate for carrying heavy loads than most military style packs.

I've been out of the serious backpacking business ever since my second back operation and resultant nerve damage in my left leg/foot, but a little known company based in Fresno, CA (or at least they used to be) made some really good stuff at really great prices. I just did a google search and found this list of their current stuff...

Interesting company but they need to send one of their reps to a marketing seminar. Cant seem to find pics, website or anything on them. Will keep on searching.

Agreed. I don't know why they would expect anyone to buy something without even a picture.

Sorry about that. I didn't click far enough into that website to discover for myself that there are no pics. How stupid...
