JoeH,
You have a good eye to notice the similarities between my pack and Kuiu�s. Over the last two years I have worked on several design projects with two of my good friends from Kuiu, primarily dealing with the packs. I presented my pack last year to them to show possible improvements for their future production. Two of the improvements they chose to make were the shoulder strap attachment and load sling, both of which I helped with the design to work with their frame. Just friends helping friends, no rip off. I realize this pack is not for everyone due to hunting style, body type, and personal preferences. I simply decided to sell the pack I built that works well for me. I would be happy to answer any specific questions you have via email or PM.
Thanks
Kurt Racicot
