I wonder if Kifaru is making these for them. 100% American made, built like a tank, very similar to Kifaru materials and shapes. The price sure seems in line with Kifaru. Kifaru definitely makes an awesome pack. Also, I noticed this in the product description:

Description
*DUE TO HIGH ORDER VOLUME, YOUR ORDER WILL MOST LIKELY SHIP IN JANUARY*

But this may have been added recently.
Nope, Aron Snyder called them out on IG for copying them.

I thought when they went up on Black Friday it was advertised as get it in time for Christmas?

Not a chance kifaru is making them. Aron Snyder was whining about them copying the shape charge.

That was added cuz of the volume of emails asking where is my order!

Tethrd replied to a similiar comment on Youtube:

looks just like my Kifaru Shape Charge.

Glad you pointed that out. We love Kifaru & Eberlestock & Mystery Ranch & all the other pack makers out there that we use. They make awesome products and we consider it a compliment to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Kifaru for our first effort at a pack. The major differences between the FAS Pack and the Shape Charge are in the size and organization. The main pocket of the Shape Charge is 2,000 ci. Ours is half that at 1,000 ci. That's pretty significant. FAS pack also kinda goes nuts with our squadron based laser cut MOLLE on front, top, and side panels. That way you can use it however it makes sense to you. That's another significant difference. The way we built our external/side pockets/top lid is also a pretty significant difference. The similarities are color (they're both green and brown), and a clamshell opening (which a LOT of packs have). Hope that makes sense, Jon! Thanks for the comment.

I pre-ordered a beast stand, i was informed of the wait time and paid no money until it was ready to ship.this is how business should be done. When i first looked at the FAS there was no mention of any wait time in fact it said in stock hurry before they are gone. Im glad i didnt shell out this kind of money and still hadn't received the product with out any prior notice of a wait time.

So let me get this straight, they have a recall going on about their climbing sticks, problems or theft of ideas ( I kid, i kid not really) around most all their products.
And people are still lining up to buy their crap...
I used to think the kneepads were for the tree...
Go Tethrd Nation!!!
I knock them hard too, but 1 of the reasons I caved on the one sticks is they seem to take care of everybody with an issue. If they didn't Id never ever support a thing they did.

And then we have to deal with all the related "where's my stuff" "when's it gonna ship" "I'm order # X..what number are u" threads which do nothing but junk up and lower the quality of saddlehunter as a whole

I think after the umpteenth time of screwing the pooch they saw the torches and forks coming out...
This "buy it for Christmas" is just sprinkles on the cake. Shows me they haven't switched recipe...
Same good 'Ole boys as usual...
