have fun dumping everything out to get at your granola bar or baby wipes when it comes time to take a dump, kifaru may be heavy duty but they don't put any pockets on the things. the number of things I need to get at and put away between stripping off layers to adding them back later in the day, to grabbing lunch or something else. I have no idea how you guys stand to have everything in one compartment cluster F'd together. oh yeah but one can get a POD I suppose.

Quit trolling the Kifaru threads, take you and your pocket fetish somewhere else. We already know they have no pockets and people still seem to buy them.

They're not camo either. Pointless, I tell you.

cowboy,
go ahead and stick with your Walmart special crap packs, those of us that actually use packs know better.

Those guys on the BPL website are fruitcakes. I'd love to load those guys down with 90lbs and have them descend a mountain off trail. That's what separates the men from the boys.

I have four Kifaru packs and have not experienced the problem you describe. Two of my Kifaru packs are the military packs with the alice webbing and you can simply add all the outside pockets you want with alice clips, which is what I have done to add capacity to my "point man" pack. As for colors, I prefer cammo too, but in the military packs you can get some great colors that may as well be cammo.

The fixation on pockets just keeps getting funnier, especially from someone living in "the hunting Capital of the US of A!". I'd really like to see what he packs with him to see what he needs all these pockets for.

I'm going to guess he's not going to be interested in tigoat's new "pack" since it doesn't have a bag, much less pockets. He could spray paint it camo though.
Just so we don't have to see Smokepole's top pocket again, I'll tell you how it works for me and easily I might add.
Stuff I really might want to get to such as rangefinder, camera and GPS go in the HPG chest pouch, formerly in a Kifaru Possibles Pouch. Stuff that I might want to get to, but with the pack off, goes in the top pocket. This includes snacks and latrine duty stuff. Rain gear rides in side pockets if I'm really loaded up (e.g. have the kids with me). Layers can get put in the Grab It as necessary. Everything else is in stuff sacks inside as I won't need it until camp. WTF do I need MORE pockets for?

If I have something that I think I"ll need to get at, but won't fit in the top lid, I'll but it near the bottom zipper in my Kifaru LH. Makes getting to it easy.

I think most of that crowd is ashamed to admit that they couldn't pick up 150#, that's why they scoff.

That is part of it, but look at his kill pics and where he plays and than come back. I can't compete!
Good Shooting!

I just thought I'd mention that a lot of the old product information for Mountainsmith is saved at: Waybackmachine Mountainsmith You can track the evolution of Patrick Smiths packs that led to the Kifaru and KU lines.
