Crazy to see how far A Aron has come with how shy he is in this podcast! hahahhaha Cant believe I have been following along for 3 years now brother!

Im two thirds thru this Podcast....and this has been SO informative. Im on rokslide, and have seen lots of Aron videos, and postings on there. This podcast definitely put a few things into perspective for me. Lightweight vs Capability. Shelters, tarps, tents...all great info. Pack selection, gear selection....etc. I used to hunt elk 20 years ago, and am recently trying to get back into it even though im STUCK IN TEXAS.....UGGG> I miss Wyoming and Idaho! And yes...I STILL WANT A SAWTOOTH...LOL

Man, I ain't a hunter.. more of a hiker photographer but I'ma buy a Kifaru pack... cause even though I don't get out in the cuts enough, (I prolly make it out more than most.. but not out there like these guys) I can respect men that live their lives getting out as much as Aron Snyder. Much respect to you guys!

Loved the podcast! Lots of great info. I've met Aron at a. Elk seminar he did last year here in Colorado and he's definitely a cool guy. He'll definitely go out of his way to help someone when it comes to questions regarding hunting gear. I shot him a private message on a forum and he sent me his number and said to give him a call and he'd help to answer some questions I had on gear. 👍👍 I personally think we need more of these kinds of podcasts out there and can't wait to see what you have in store for the next one.

I don't even remember how I got to your channel 2 yrs old February but I've been subscribed since this episode. Love the channel & stay Gritty gentlemen.

Can't believe this podcast is less than a year old. The quality has been incredible since day one. Really enjoy it and yes I'm about to be pack poor. :D

I just came back from a grueling 25 mile scout into the Sangres in Colorado and the EMR was unbeatable. Five of us went in and I was the only one that didn't wish for a different pack.

I was looking at a new decent hiking pack for the wilds of Australia. I started going down the road of the ultra light weight pack. I eventually stumbled across the Kifaru brand and started researching. Being ex military I fell in love with the design and the modularity of them. I ended up buying the now discontinued AG1 pack. I definately don't regret the money I spent when I load 20kg of camera gear plus supplies for the day. Most comfortable pack I have ever owned and easily takes all the punishment I give it!

I don't usually sit and listen through things like these; but I really enjoyed this podcast. I always try to keep my ears glued to a conversation when you get a chance to hear from knowledgeable guys who have been around the block more than once...especially the humble ones. Some great topics discussed and good info. Good stuff guys.

Great show. Aron seems like a really cool guy. I've been looking at getting a kifaru pack and it's the next thing in my list.

truth he's talking here . love my kifaru

Great video guy! Thanks for the information sharing!

Worth the money !

Trt has done these guys wonders in 8 years 🤣🤣

because pixie dust aint cheap these days my Fulcrum should be here in a few weeks. Muy excited.

Such at treat, most helpful with lots of info.

Great video guys! I just found you on here last week. I'll be watching your vids. Great info and funny! I need to get a Kifaru pack when I get the money scraped up. It's a lot of money for a pack, but I think the investment will be worth it. I'm slowly getting all my gear for my first elk hunt. Can't wait!

KZfaq dusted this off and laid it at my feet this morning 🤷‍♂️👍

My EMR II and duplex frame has landed! It's made the 6421 mile journey from Wheat Ridge, CO to Cambridge in the UK

Just got work that my kifaru MW is on its way. Thanks Aaron for your advice on the phone. From the way it sounds, this should be the last pack I ever buy.

After hundreds of miles with mediocre packs, I am finally pulling the trigger on a Duplex frame. And shortly there after I am pairing it with a Nomad. Stuffs not cheap, but I think you get what you pay for. I am pretty stoked on making my purchase.

I love the show. Very helpful, unique, and motivating. Thanks and keep up the good work

Good stuff. Some testosterone boosters were mentioned at the end of the podcast, and I'd like to mention that all of the common test boosters have been studied and shown NOT to increase test levels ( excluding prohormones... which is entirely different ). Do what you like, but I would encourage you guys to take a look at the back of the bottle and google the active ingredients for reputable studies. A good place to start is examine(dot)com. No marketing bullshit, just a compilation of studies that can help you in figuring out whether or not what you are taking will actually have any effect at all, or the effects that you are expecting.

you guys need to get ahold of Bob Laughlin shows in Puyallup Washington they also do Portland Oregon and come to a show so I can buy a bunch of product see it first-hand great podcast very information

thumbs way up !

lots of useful info, great video! danner usmc rat are a good soft boot , I will say they are a little heavy though.

I'm not a hunter but I do have a thing for nylon gear (packs)... really enjoyed this talk/video. SUBBED!

send me some stuff, i will drag it through the jungle :)

Your grandfather has gone hunting with a 120 lb backpack costing a second-hand car. You forget that you're talking this shit to people who go hunting without packed food in the backpack ... you're in the woods ... Americans.

you spell yer name wrong dude...

I understand where you are coming from. That design it may have been done before, you have the right to play it cool and say that your frame costs as much as an eberlestock bag and kind of low ball their desig indirectly. However, that my friend puts you in a great disadvantage market and contract wise. Eberlestock rules the world and that is a fact. The eberlestock designs are incredible because they maximise the internal and external efficiency of the backpack. Strength and quality wise, Eberlestock has been proven in the battlefield and that is the reason why special operations and different governments and military services use them worldwide. I borrowed the Terminator XL from a friend and load it with 65lb so 75lb total since the bag is 10lb and did 10 mile walk slowly with some breaks in between and no back pain what so ever. I got exhausted, beaten up to pieces obviously from the weight and distance. The Terminator XL is superbly designed and purchased for $439 at 7000 ci and expendable through external attachments. SO in other words the Eberlestock Terminator XL will be my future purchase to add to my collection. I'll challenge you, I own the eberlestock Jackhammer Alice Frame which I got for $169 on their website. Beating that bag day in day out everywhere. You come up with a bag that is that well made, organised and with a price point at $200 not $169. Your Pointman and Xing are $573 and $606 and 2700-3000 ci. Buddy, you can sing your podcast song with cockiness all you like but at the end of the day, like the song says; You can't touch this ;)

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. KIFARU IS THE BEST. I DO NOT MIND SPENDING THE MONEY ON A WELL BUILT PACK. KIFARU IS THE BEST,,,, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST.

Why does kifaru cost so much? Because idiots will buy it! Lol ill never spend that kind of money on a brand. Never have needed to and never will and im a successful hunter. It just not necessary.

Because there is a sucker who will pay for them

why do people who promote Kifaru product act like profane a-holes?
