The Kifaru Ultra Light has surely proved worthy of carrying as much weight as I will ever want to or be capable of carrying. Granted I have only one hinting season on it, but since hnting season, I have been dragging it in and out of the truck while loaded with salt for training hikes with no sign of distress.

The final version of the KU will be quite a bit more rugged than my prototype as well. With very little weight gain.

I think the KUIU Ion has lots of promise and I wish them the best.
