Best Hunting Pack in 2023! (Must watch before buying) 

I have not. Would like to try it out, but only have so much money to test gear. Haha

The lumbar on each is good to me. The belt on the Exo was definitely more comfortable. I would decide off of what bag style you want more. The Exo has more pockets and is a heavier setup. Not that the weight of the bag it’s self is a ton more, but I find with more pockets comes more gear… if you want a streamline bag the stone would be my pick. The only caveat to that would be if I was getting the EXO make sure to buy the load shelf accessory.

Thank you for the advice and product recommendation!

@@rogueoutdoorshtkstw One quick question, how "tacky" does the lumbar pad feel on the K4? The lumbar pad on my K3 does not really have any "stick" to it, and I'm wanting to see if I can somehow make a change there.

I would not call the new dimpling they have on the K4 lumbar tacky. They are a pretty hard density compared to the gel the KUIU packs have. However I think what they are using on the K4 is much better. It holds on really well, but does not irritate the skin. I will be releasing a K4 specific video this week or Saturday.

I would base it on two things. If I primarily rifle hunted I would do the stone. But if I was hunting both seasons evenly and hunting animals like moose and elk I would probably run the EXO since it does better under extreme weight. If your mostly hunting deer the packs both carry that weight about the same. You also have to decide if you like more or less pockets. The EXO has moor pockets the separate your gear, as where the Stone with the col 4800 bag on it is really streamlined. I hope that helps!

Should have reviewed the AKEK pack! Best on the market and decent price!

Thank you, I’m really trying to expand my content quality and quantity! I appreciate the comments!
