I have a G2 Longhunter standard and an Eberlestock J34; both great packs. Between the two, the Kifaru handles heavier loads a little better but both packs are a bit heavy for day packs. For this year's 3rd season CO elk hunt I'm going with an Eberlestock F1 Mainframe and will be using their batwings and or their spike camp duffel. I also got their zip in J-type dry bag. Since last year's hunt, I've developed a lower back problem so, I'm having to go with a lighter pack. I like the versatility of my J34 and particularly how fits so I decided to try the F1.
