Hey Shines, I would be very interested in meeting you and maybe doing a little recon trip. I'll be retiring on May 31st and should have a little free time after that....;). I can still chase chukars and hunt deer in the Snake River breaks, so I'm hoping I can at least make it into one of the...
What size is the suspension and frame on the Kuiu? It should have a small tag just above the top of the lumbar pad for the suspension and a sticker on the frame. If no sticker, can you measure the frame, bottom to top tip? Also, are there any hip pockets on the belt? It doesn't look like it...
