I have a Kifaru Longhunter (excellent pack) and another decent hauler pack but, I keep going back to my Eberlestock J34 for elk hunting. While the load lifters on this pack aren't as robust as those on my Kifaru, I have found that its adjustability well compensates for this shortcoming. It has the ability to compress down nicely to a larger day pack. I have used it now for the past 3 hunting seasons and I think it is a keeper.


Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
