Self sufficient, and far from the road. We achieve back country living by making extremely versatile gear that will, if at all possible, serve many functions.
Our Bloodlines All our gear is intended for successful, sustained foot hunting. Our arsenal allows you to LIVE in the back country, using the latest most lightweight, hunter
tough materials available.
Accordingly, this year we proudly introduce our Regulator Sleeping Bag System (pat. pend). Unique to Kifaru, this sectional design does just
that - it lets you "regulate" your warmth needs for the hunt at hand. You cut both weight and bulk, by bringing ONLY the needed layers or
sections. Better yet, convertible sections serve as your outdoor clothing as well. Leave the jacket at home!
Any climate, anywhere.
"I’ve been in the backpacking business since 1979, starting with world class mountaineering packs under the Mountainsmith brand.
I adapted my personal packs for my backpack hunting needs. Following the sale of Mountainsmith, I launched Kifaru - bringing out the
first thoroughly mountaineering grade, custom fit backpacks built from the ground up to solve the on-foot hunter’s specialized needs.
We need to handle extreme weights in difficult, trailess terrain, we also need superb comfort for long, sustained marches, and we
need to handle a long gun safely and efficiently. We also need fail safe durability not found in conventional hunting packs. I think we have
-
Just after 9/11, Kifaru was invited to adapt these packs for military needs, and we now offer a full line of military packs. In turn, our
hunting division has reaped the technological rewards that we’ve learned from the needs of our soldiers.
Kifaru gear is probably not for everybody. It is built specifically for serious foot hunting with the best-in-the-world materials, and a great many of our users
declare that the finished product is the finest ever, regardless of sport category. It is costly gear. Nevertheless, these serious users quickly acknowledge that
the cost-to-benefit ratio of their Kifaru gear is quite high. The gear, quite simply, is well worth the investment. Boots and pack are paramount to foot hunters.
It’s false economy to scrimp on either. A Kifaru pack may very well be the last pack you ever buy.
Shelter. Kifaru is about backpack hunting. Not just day-hunting, though our gear certainly serves that purpose admirably. I’m talking about packing in on our
own two feet up among the critters - not visiting each day from a truck camp down below, but actually being there among ‘em at shooting light, living on their
turf. Emphasis here is on living, and not on surviving! To live sustainedly, which is to say functioning well day after day, in the autumn back country requires
an EXTERNAL HEAT SOURCE.
For years I camped under a tarp with an open fire smack beneath the eave. While far better than cold-camping, this system still had problems - comes a
180 degree wind shift, or just high winds from any direction you’re in trouble! I resolved to “bring the fire indoors” and set out on a design quest that culmi-
nated in the 1989 introduction of Mountainsmith MountainShelters, which couple a wood burning stove with tipi-shaped tents. Many of those originals are
still in the field! Our current Kifaru Tipis are direct descendants, improved in many ways since. I personally never stopped using my own and kept tweaking
them all along. The wood burning stove solves the staying-warm-and-dry conundrum, and cooks your food as well. Enter one of these tipis with its stove
going on a miserably cold, snowy day and encounter butt-naked warmth inside - at the very least you’ll be able to lounge in shirt-sleeve comfort whilst cooking
dinner and drying your wet garments. They really do solve the age-old problem of maintaining peak physical efficiency for extended backcountry stays.
If you’re as serious about your outdoor life as I am, only the best will do.”

eering pack, with the function and features of a great hunting frame. It is lightweight, clean, quiet, and versatile - designed for guides and

We have yet to break one of these, and loads of 165 pounds plus, are not uncommon. Check out our Haul of Fame on our website to see
what folks bring out on this thing! This Hauler-only features the same LongHunter frame as the backpack version, but stripped for those
who don’t want or need a bag (you can always purchase and add any volume LongHunter bag later).

DayStalker
Don’t let the size of this pack fool you! It can haul lots of heavy stuff, and is designed for those who
like to move quickly and quietly with a minimum of gear. It rides solidly in your lumbar area, so
shoulder straps are optional.
An internal aluminum frame transfers weight comfortably to your hips - which is where this pack is
carried. This makes it far more comfortable under load than any hang-from-your-shoulders daypack,
and there's plenty of space for your day hunting essentials.

Basic includes a shoulder sling, the Duo includes shoulder straps to turn your DayStalker into a tra-

long gun, transferring the weight comfortably to your hips leaving both your hands free. Originally invented for rambling in bear country, it is
far quicker than a shoulder sling, and fast enough for wing shooting. With a flick of your wrist, your rifle or shotgun can be instantly shoul-

Shelters
The Native Americans who roamed the great Plains and the valleys of the American West when it was true wilderness knew something most of us have forgotten.
Comfort counts. They took their homes with them--lightweight, portable, heated structures which let them live in comfort as they roamed.
Modern backpackers remember the roaming but forget the comfort. If you've ever spent a long night in a cramped backpacking tent trying to warm up a cold sleeping
bag, you know what was missing.
The Kifaru Tipi is the modern incarnation of this wonderful, proven design. Roomy, woodstove-heated and comfortable enough to enjoy living in for extended adven-
tures as you roam. It is light enough to backpack, so you tote comfort and convenience previously available only to those with access to pack
animals or motorized transport! These are the only shelters that couple the efficiency of a wood burning stove with the stand-up
comfort of a tipi in a carry it-yourself-package. Easily throw these shelters into a Super Cub, Jeep, or on
your backpack. The ultimate in back country living!
A Proven Track Record: The Kifaru Tipis have been around since 1985*, and have served many years as remote camps in some of the
harshest regions on earth - Mount Everest, Denali, Africa. Their sturdy constitution has withstood gale-force winds, hail and substantial snow-
fall, yet have remained standing long after all other tents have been flattened! They are warm in the winter, cool in the summer.
Breakthrough Technology: Kifaru shelters deliver both the beauty and function of yesterday’s Native American tipi with today’s latest materi-
als and technology to provide more weight economy, space, comfort, and versatility than conventional micro tents.
We revolutionized portable living quarters when we pioneered the use of a new high performance fabric (paraglider cloth). Paraglider cloth
has proven to be exceptionally durable (enough for parachute construction), and with a great weight to strength ratio. It dramatically cuts the
weight of a large shelter, while providing enormous space. It is also remarkably waterproof - each “yarn” in the fabric is silicon treated, then
woven - as opposed to a simple coating (i.e., will peel off) as found on most conventional fabrics. It is much stronger and longer-lived than the
import stuff known as silnylon. There is a significant difference in this American made fabric and the off-shore imitators.
We double or triple stitch seams for enormous strength and use big, jam free zippers that open easily, even in a howling blizzard. We then
weld the canopy together with military spec thread.
Other companies boast “light” shelters. Many do so at a lesser cost by outsourcing their fabric and labor, and cater primarily to the backpack-
ing industry. Our Tipis are built to be fail safe and perform anywhere on earth.

ParaTarp & SuperTarp Shelters
These Tarps are ideally suited as bivouac tents with the use of available materials, like tree branches, an ice axe or pack stays - or employ our ParaTarp Peg & Pole Kit.
Full protection on 3 sides, and the open front allows you to build a fire for warmth or add a ParaStove. An overhead eave helps keep the drips out. Don’t have to bivy?
Kifaru® Tarps
The Tarps also function as a great catch-all shelter for your gear if you don’t want to clutter up the sleeping quarters of your base camp tent or Tipi. Space age fabric
combined with years of experience gives you the lightest, strongest shelter ever built.

Base Bag
As your go-to, everyday bag, or as part of our complete (MOB) Regulator System, the Base will deliver a great weight to warmth ratio unlike
any other, while retaining the sturdiness of synthetic insulation The Base Bag is great as a stand-alone product, or add layers of MOBs.
Roominess: These bags are much roomier than typical recreational mummy bags. They are built for long term living in difficult terrain and con-
ditions, where restful sleep is more important than a bag built as light as it can possibly can be. Nevertheless, the breakthrough new materials
we are using, produce an extremely lightweight bag in terms of its warmth to weight ratio. The roominess and super tough shell means you
can sleep fully clothed, including boots.
Available in two temperature ratings: - a 40° bag - a 20° bag
Sizes: Regular - fits up to 6’1”*
Long - fits up to 6’ 7”
*tested by 300 lb., booted subject.
