Function & Design

The most versatile pack you can buy for big game hunting and big adventure trips. Perfect for backpacking into the wilderness after elk, mule deer, sheep and goats. The LongHunter helps you get your gear in, and trophies and meat out - all with unmatched efficiency and comfort.

The Carrying System
All 3 models are built around the outstanding comfort of the DuPlex Frame and Suspension. A flexible contoured internal frame with rigid, aircraft aluminum stays transfers weight to your hips via a custom fitted cupped and contoured waistbelt. Contoured shoulder straps are designed to stabilize the load on your back without slipping. All weight is carried on your hip platform, where it belongs- not on your shoulders or lower back - click here to read more about Kifaru Ergononomics.

Pack weights of 80 to 100 lbs. are not unreasonable with the LongHunter System. We've experimented with loads of 180 lbs. without damage to the pack, or the person carrying it. Want proof? Check out our Haul of Fame to see what loads your fellow hunters have been carrying out on their LongHunters.We don't know how much weight the LongHunter will carry - we still haven't found anybody strong enough to handle the weight!
Female hunters - ask about our women's suspensions!

The top lid is fully featured, letting it work as a stand-alone product.
You can remove the top lid and convert it to a lumbar pack.
Just remove the Pocket and unfurl the waistbelt (stored in its own sleeve). Attach the Delta Straps - they pull the weight into your lumbar area for maximum comfort. Add your GunBearer Cradle for the buttstock.

The shoulder sling (stored inside the Pocket) provides greater stability, and will accept your upper GunBearer Strap. Just load your pack and rifle, and you are all set for a light day's hunt from basecamp!

Kifaru GunBearer®
All Kifaru packs (even the smallest!) are equipped with the revolutionary GunBearer® - a simple, efficient way to securely carry your long gun, transferring the weight comfortably to your hips leaving both your hands free for climbing, bushwhacking, whatever. No more slings slipping off your shoulder, no more banged scopes. Originally invented for rambling in bear country, this is the safest, most comfortable way ever devised to carry your rifle and a backpack. Quicker than a shoulder sling, it's fast enough for wing shooting. With a flick of your wrist, your rifle or shotgun can be instantly shouldered for firing. Fully adjustable for any length rifle or shotgun, use it right or left handed, or remove it when you aren't packing a long gun.

The original explorers who crossed the
Appalachians were called Long Hunters, and the name carried over into the era of the Free Trappers of the Rocky Mountains (whom we call Mountain Men). It implies traveling long distances away from civilization in search of game. Real adventure!
