Why pack all that messy meat out of the bush when we can just go to the grocery store where meat is made? Hell,if they sold antlers I would save so much money I could afford to go Dolphin fishing. Maybe even a baby seal safari.

Don't have a pic handy but I can't say enough about how much I love my MR Kodiak. Have alternated between it and a buddies Kifaru and the MR is the hands down winner.

Loaded up for the trip out with 35lbs of boned out eastern whitetail deer. Quite a load for the 3 Day Assault pack. <grin> ![[Linked Image]](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/lscott_06/Hunting2010005.jpg)

Here are some from when I used to use MR packs: Goat Hunt: ![[Linked Image]](http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x8/alaska_lanche/2009%20Goat%20Hunts/SANY0555.jpg) Caribou Hunt: ![[Linked Image]](http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x8/alaska_lanche/2009%20Moose%20and%20Caribou%20Hunts/SANY0348.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x8/alaska_lanche/2009%20Moose%20and%20Caribou%20Hunts/SANY0352.jpg) On a sheep hunt: ![[Linked Image]](http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x8/alaska_lanche/September%20Sheep%20Hunt%202010/DSC00409.jpg)

Phil,
Sorry for the delayed response.
His pack is the LongHunter Rendezvous.
Perhaps my original post came off as too strong as there are certainly merits to the Kifaru. I liked it very much as a day pack as it compresses more than the MR. It was also great hauling moose quarters using the cargo chair.
Overall though, the lack of exterior pockets combined with the ridiculous height and poor balance when fully loaded made me decide to stick with my MR as my all around pack.
-Mike
