I agree with Blanchard on the gun bearer. It’s quick to deploy and re-sling and gives me two hands for using Trekking poles, climbing, glassing, or accessing gear I have in my hip or chest pouches. Depending on how you hunt this may not be important and the scabbard might fit your style better.

I think pouches need to be purpose driven. You don’t get purpose with some manufacturers, you get 6x9, 10x10, etc. otherwise a ziplock bag will do just fine.

I disagree with the idea of a Kifaru being too rigid to hunt with. I’ve killed a handful of animals while wearing it. Archery, Muzzleloader, and rifle.

Gun bearer is insanely functional
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Kifaru Reckoning on a 26” UL frame. You have to be a stud to load it and pack it. You will fail before the pack.

Agreed.  With how efficient their bags compress down it's a non issue.  Mines 8,000 cubic inches but it's as small as I could ever want it if I choose.  Only inches thick and narrower than my shoulders.  Or when needed I can sleep in it lol.  Pretty sure bullblaster has a pic of me doing just that actually  :bdid: :chuckle:

I lost he picture.

I will say it helps that you are only 3.7 feet tall so it doesn’t take a huge bag for you to sleep in.
