[QUOTE="B-LOT Banga, post: 1856127, member: 106734"] In Hawaii I hunted sheep for 30 plus years. I started with a burlap bag pack and my mom sewed my straps from old car seat belts, a open sight mini 14 and we used rubber boots because the lava rocks would tear up any and all of the cheap shoes that we could afford. Fast forward 30 years and a lot of things have changed. I’m fortunate my dad busted his a** to give us a better life and it rubbed off on me and I too worked 40-60 hrs a week doing construction. I have 2 sons and buy them the best I can afford. Our shoes.... crispi boots. I’ve tried everything and found them to be ready to go out of the box, actually waterproof, durable and somewhat lighter than the other brands. Packs ... we now use stone glacier exclusively. I’ve had kuiu packs fail 5 times. The carbon fiber breaks at the top where the strap connects. They even told me if it breaks one more time that they wouldn’t warranty it. They sent me a new and upgraded version but it just sits. You might want to try the new stone glacier Kiowa 3200 Cu in version as it’s the best one I’ve used yet and my 12 year old son fits it well and I’ve packed out 5 sheep before without any problems. I just wish they made it in camo so the blood stains are so obvious. Just my two cents... good luck!! Aloha [/QUOTE]
