Recommend a backpack for me

[Hammsolo]

Hey All, Sell on on day/multi-day pack. I have a Badlands 2200 and it’s been a great pack. However, my wife asked me about Christmas gifts. I don’t want a giant bag, but something that is more adjustable and carries meat more effectively. It needs to carry a spotter, tripod and layers. The new Kuiu Icon 6 4500 looks intriguing. I won’t buy anymore Sitka gear. Their stuff has shown to be flimsy and their warranty sucks. Badlands sent me a new Superday once after just showing a few pics. That’s why I bought the 2200. Questions?

Exo.

Buy once, cry one.

I'm an Eberlestock man.

Check out the Modframe or Mainframe systems.

Really flexible system. I have both and prefer the Modframe.

All the bags and accessories port from the Mainframe to the Modframe and back.

They are based in Boise. They did a Zoom call fitting with me and the before and after is amazing.

I've had one warranty claim for an accessory defective new out of the box. They shipped me another the day I called it in.

I like that the EXO is made in the USA.

The K4 3600 looks like a solid option.

Kuiu. They make the frame or internal frame. I have both. The Icon 3500 with frame for longer/multi-day and the internal frame for a day hunts. my icon 3500 has 10 years on it and 100's of miles. The smaller divide I have had for a couple years. Both are awesome and Kuiu Gun holder works great on both. The icon has also has an available meat hauler that works great.

It looks pretty sweet.

I’ve gotten a lot of use and utility out of my Kifaru, but after packing out 1/2 and elk with a buddy’s Exo K4, that’s what I’ll be buying when it’s time to replace.

I’ll make you a sweet deal on my pack so I can buy an Exo.

If any part of you thinks you might backpack someday, and if you get an EXO K4, I would get a 5000 bag. I can haul all I want for an extended backpacking trip in mine and it compresses down well for day hunting. I always leave the lid on mine when day hunting (for organization), but removing that would cut some weight and bulk.
