[QUOTE="ndbwhunter, post: 138016, member: 1288"] I'm not a midget (6'4 230lbs), and love my kifaru. A little strap management is key to ensuring a nice clean pack. I've had a few of them actually, and have loved every one of them. I'm currently running the UL duplex frame with an AMR, guide lid, Nalgene bottle and a few medium pockets. Whatever you do, don't go too small thinking that you'll be able to make all your gear fit. Quilts/bag, sleeping pad, food and water take up quite a bit of room. I'm going to pick up the mountain warrior for day hunts and other short trips, but the AMR will be my go-to bag for anything over 3-4 days. The reckoning bag looks nice, but I really like the attached zippered pockets that the timberline and AMR have built-in. Make sure you add a few pockets to the bottom of the reckoning if you go that route. A medium on each side and a large on the back would keep all the little gear well organized. I didn't see any pictures of the reckoning with the guide lid on it, but I would highly recommend adding that to the pack. It's a 1200ci lid that provides plenty of storage for all the items that you need regularly. If you come through the Bismarck/Mandan area anytime soon, hit me up and you can swing by and check it out. This was my first year running the Cimarron, and so far I have no complaints. My 12" homemade stove kept it nice and warm. It's a palace for one man with stove and gear. Two guys with a stove gets a little tight, but it's manageable. [/QUOTE]
