ARK Frame

Best frame on the market, hands down! I have used this frame for a full year, and wow! 🤩 6 pack outs this year and this frame makes me feel like an animal. I also watched this frame all year compete in the WHF pack out challenge and it out performed everything else be leaps and bounds. This is my best piece of hunting equipment I own!!!

Great shipping Department. Like an A**Hat I waited till nearly the last minute to make an order for a new frame so my daughter could guy with me on an Elk hunt to play pack mule. I had already placed an order with another company that had not delivered after 4 weeks and finally said they would not be able to in time. The Kifaru frame and all other items ordered luckily showed up before we were leaving out to New Mexico Unit 53 hunting at 10,000-11,000'. This was here first spot and stalk and her first time at high elevation. Great Frame and better team.

Kifaru made it happen by getting it to us in time !!!

I used this on a recent Caribou hunt in AK. This is my 3rd frame from Kifaru. I’ve used the duplex and light duplex, both can haul 100+ lbs. I only put about 90 lbs on this one but could tell it can handle more. My max on the duplex was about 120 and this one could do that easily.

I may have incorrectly used the attachment points for the bag as they kept popping out. Once I looped them back through itself they did not come out. If you push the plastic piece through by itself it will come undone. ( I didn’t watch video on how to attach). The new shoulder strap and lumbar padding is great. I do miss the old lower back padding just above the lumbar pad. When hiking with a lot of weight I will typically bend forward and rest the pack on my back for a min. When doing this the frame digs in a little. Not a big deal but if they had the option to add it to this frame I’d be ordering.
