Does any have pictures of their .5 either kuiu straps on it. I’m just curious how it attaches.
Here’s it loaded down with cold weather gear for a 30 degree air Thursday morning. Feels very snug and tight for almost a mile walk in.View attachment 74127
Yes I’ll load someDoes any have pictures of their .5 either kuiu straps on it. I’m just curious how it attaches.
Eberlestock bow boot. Such a simple but essential upgrade for long hikesLooks slick. What bow boot is that? Thanks. I have just started to run the kifaru stryker xl this week and although it carries extremely well I find it takes me a lot longer and much more fiddle factor than when I ran my badlands super day on the. 5. (Maybe I just need more practice)
I think I just need a better suspension on the .5 and I will be happy Going back to my old setup. Then I could sell the kifaru relatively unused. And buy more gear, err, I mean, pay more bills.
Well, ended up with the kuiu carbon frame and suspension. Can’t speak a hunt with it yet but so far it’s awesome. I didn’t like how the LWCG straps and belt felt sloppy on me even cinched down. Total weight with stand, 3 sticks and everything I carry in, including water is 21 pounds. I’m pretty happy with that.
Used 8 120lbs zip ties to attach the stand to the carbon frame. I’m betting it will hold up. Time will tell.
One think that bothered me was the fact the suspension would be hanging off the stand blowing in the wind. I feel like with how stiff the suspension is, it won’t blow much.
Not a bad idea! I’ll order a set and try em out. ThanksI have used these to strap the backpack straps tight to the stand before I climb aboard.

Nah, I’m single and gotta get the girls attention with this dad bod. HahaMaybe you should cut back on the snacks and only take 23 snickers?
Crap, I missed that. Now that u say that I remember someone else saying that. Guess I have some more work to do on it tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up! Can’t believe I didn’t notice thatJust gotta watch out the load lifters can be to high and won't allow the platform teeth part sit on the tree

Yea it also reminded me that I didn’t have a knife in my pack setup. I would have literally been screwed. OuchThat would of been a disastrous first hunt…lol
