Bought a 2300 after watching a previous video you made on them. I'm very happy with the purchase! It's the perfect size bag for turkey, bow hunting and gun hunting deer, as well as a great travel bag. Thanks for pointing the way!
Glad you love yours too. The kuiu pack design is one of the all time best I've ever used
I got the 1850 pro but had to buy the waist and shoulder straps separate. All the straps and buckles are crazy. Came with no directions on how to properly set it up. Straps and buckles are hard to deal with in the cold. I’m using lone wolf sticks and stand and love the hell out of them. Use all your tactics. 2nd season being mobile and it’s the most rewarding way to hunt! Thanks for your videos, expertise, and knowledge about deer hunting in high pressure public land settings in Michigan. Hopefully we will see u back in this beautiful state!
Glad you are loving the mobile hunting! Yep the 1850 icon and suspension system was a little tricky to figure out. I had the same pack. It's a phenomenal pack!
I got my 2300 last week after watching your videos on strapping you sticks and stand to pack absolutely love this backpack thanks
Glad the system is working great for you too
I have the 2300 due to your previous vids. I have to say, the internal frame makes these packs incredibly comfortable when carrying the weight of gear, sticks and stand or saddle. I am very happy with the pack. Also worth mentioning, the waist belts are removable. Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying yours too. I love the kuiu packs
I bought a 2300 a year or two ago after your recommendation. I love it. I also bought an 1800 on the sale they had but sent it back. They really missed the boat with the compression straps just being sewn to the bag fabric and not the frame itself or something more rigid. Between that and the length/size, they are basically useless for anything substantial. For the overall size/weight savings, I can't see me using the 1800 for anything the 2300 wouldn't do just as well and so I sent it back. I'll pick up another 2300 on their next sale too.
Yep after now having both I can honestly say the 2300 is the better option for most deer hunting needs. The 1800 may not be as good but it is 50 bucks cheaper and still an amazing hunting pack. I'm keeping it for pig hunting with tina where I have to carry all her extra crap🤣. But the 2300 is a better design for tree stand a hunting in my opinion. The 1800 is good. The 2300 is amazing.
@@SamkoTradBow The scary thing is they only show the 2300 in valo large right now on the website, looks like these new venture divide packs may replace them and they don't have the same strap flexibility as the 2300... sure hope they're not going away.
@@afarley337 I think the ventures are just out of stock from the 2 huge sales they just had. You could get the 1800 for 100 bucks and the 2300 for 150. Was huge sales
LOL!! at the strap keeper temper tantrums. Deep breaths
If I wanted patients I would of been a doctor🤣🤣🤣. Hate strap keepers
I love my 2300. It's turned into a year round bag for me, as I use it not just for hunting but for travel as well. For hunting though, I've switched over to the KUIU Pro Harness system. I like the full frame as I can still haul out a boned out deer, and I prefer the 1850 bag on the frame because it's setup like the venture 1800...but I run the thicker straps directly off of the frame, not off of the bag.
I had that same pro 1850. It's an amazing bag and excellent system
That's the same thing I run and for the same reasons I love it...
Great pack, I love my ,2300 for carrying my stand and sticks. Thanks for reviewing it awhile back. Bought it after your review. thanks Jason.
Glad you love yours too. Such fantastic packs
Look like some great pack options .. checked out the website… see the 2300 … can’t find the 1800… maybe it was discontinued?… watched a lot of your videos … enjoying them for your enthusiasm and knowledge
I believe they are just out of stock from the veterans day and black Friday sales. They just need to make more and restock. They ran huge sales where you could get the 1800 for 100 bucks and the 2300 for 150
The Venture 1800 is being discontinued for their new Venture Divide line of packs.
Love it Jason...I need a new pack...1200 divide just not big enough... Thanks again...
Glad you enjoyed it. Love the venture packs
Looks like I should have jumped on purchasing a 2300 sooner. I believe that they're no longer in production. The large pack is the only one I can find and I'm short, so I may be out of luck. I'm trying out my X2 pack, but I don't know if it's as good as your 2300.
Yep seems like they are done with the venture 2300 and what a shame that is. it is the best hunting pack ever made in my opinion for deer hunting.
Still love my pro 1850 running it with or with out the pro suspension it's perfect for a pack out situation running the load sling and gear
Yep the pro system is fantastic
I also got the 1800 on that sale, it works good for me for a little hunting pack, all I really need, but definitely would like to have the 2300 also.
The 1800 is an excellent hunting pack. The 2300 has some advantages for carrying sticks and stands. But with the lower price and very similar features the 1800 is an excellent pack for an excellent price from an excellent company. I love both of these packs.
If you want to save money just get KUIU's pack accessory pouch and it clips onto the strap mounts on the 1800 pack. I did that and use it to hold my rain gear and it has worked really well.
Great video's and info sharing! Thanks!
What is the product you use to prevent straps from fraying? Thanks, Àl
Called webbing guard or tubular webbing.
I bought the kuiu pro lt 5500 and its awesome and feels great. My kifaru is going on ebay soon
The pro system is excellent
Love my 1800! You’re right about strap keepers. I spend a half an hour of frustration trying to find and get rid of every damn one of those things!
I do wish the compression straps were a little beefier but have not seen wear yet with my Novix Helo and sticks (although I’ve only used it as such for a few months). You can most definitely pack out a boned out deer, but not with sticks/stand at the same time.
Been trying to get time to do a review on mine but what little time I have I’ve been using to hunt lol.
Yep you and about 4 others I know are carry8ng sticks and a stand on the 1800 with zero issues. And it's quite a bit less money than the 2300. I do believe the 2300 is a better design. But the 1800 is no slouch or anything to frown on. They are both excellent packs.
Have you packed out a deer or pig with either? I hunt in APL mtn’s and breakdown deer and pack them out. Would either stand up to two or three meat hauls a year?
the 2300 would easy. its built tougher with tougher materials. A trick to help aid packing out big deer in it is to bring a pillow case as an extra game bag. Any meat that doesnt fit inside the pack you can throw in the pillow case and swing it over your shoulder and carry it like a santa sack.
Thanks for reply. I have the mystery ranch pop up 28 (1,800) and KUIU 2,300 pro (6,000 bag for backcountry hunts). External frame packs work great for hauling meat but are a lot heavier and have big profiles in the tree. Was thinking about the 1,800 for my mobile saddle hunting setup if it could handle a few meat hauls per year less than a mile mostly.
Love the channel!
The venture is on sale right now for Memorial Day. Both 1800 and 2300 packs.
Awesome. Thank you for the info. Love both of these packs.
The 1800 is not on kuiu website currently. Only Valo on the 2300. I see the new Venture divides 2000 & 3000. I look forward to seeing some reviews on the new packs...
The 1800 and 2300 have not come.back in stock fully yet due to the huge couple sales they have had selling them out. The divides lack the front compression straps needed for how I carry my sticks and stands so I will probably never try those. Hope they never stop selling the 2300 or I will buy 5 of them so I'm set for life..lol
@@SamkoTradBow send me a pm...
I have the 2300. It’s awesome for my saddle hunting set up as I can simply tighten my sticks down in the back and keep my stand inside. Did you see there new divide pack? That looks interesting as well.
The divide doesn't have the compression straps to put sticks and stands on if I remeber correctly. Once I glanced and saw those missing I immediately dismissed it for my needs.
If yall are interested in the venture 2300 you should buy it quickly. They are discontinuing it. They venture divide series will be the replacement for these types of daypacks
I think they are gonna keep the venture 2300 around. Its thier best selling day pack.
@Traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast I contacted them asking when they were going to get more Medium frame venture 2300s in stock. Also at the time they only had Valo in stock and I asked when they would have more solids in stock. They replied that they will not be making the 2300 anymore and that they were moving to the venture divides for their daypack line
@@nikolasshay3294 ouch. That sucks. It will be missed as the divides are nice but nothing like the venture 2300
@Traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast yea I was kinda upset. I don't know if you saw it but I sent you the screenshot of my convo with them on Instagram.
@@nikolasshay3294 don't think I got that. Might of got lost when I deleted all the spams. Send again
Can you do a video of how you set up at hunting height? Like how you hang your bow, where your bag and other gear hangs.
I have about 5 or 6 of them on my channel. look in the deer hunting tips playlist
I been needing a new pack for a mile walk in medium gear jacket and pants. I love the way this look been looking at it and the 3000. From what I understand kuiu and sitka are close to the same. Would you think that 2300 would be big enough for heavy jacket and pants warming layers ? I can sent you a extra box of strap keepers if you like them. Lol jk they do suck especially at dark messing with them.
The 2300 is definitely big enough for extra clothes and gear. It's the best hunting pack ever made in my opinion. No thanks on the strap keepers🤣🤣
@Traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast awesome ill try get me one. Lol thanks stay safe.
Checked the Kuiu website and it looks like the Venture 2300 is discontinued only selling their last stock of Valo color pattern!
I think they are just out of stock from the 2 huge sales they just had. Last week there was not any 2300 available, so they probably just need time to recover and make more.
Glad I got to your videos on Packs since I almost pulled the trigger on Eberlestock X2..... Have you or anyone used X2 and do you mind sharing your opinion vs Venture 2300. I appreciate your feedback. (It will be used for midwest Whitetail mobile hunting and also Elk archery hunts ever other year).
Never used the x2. I have the f1 main frame and I love it! Only eberly I have
@Traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast thank you so much for you feedback and sharing your best practices. Good bless you 🙏
The 2300 is the best all around hunting hiking camping
Agree
What do you do to manage your straps? I hate those strap keepers as much as you do, but my Mystery Ranch pack has about 2 feet more strap than what’s needed. Not as bad on my Kuiu Venture 1800.
I just let them hang unless it's a strap I don't use often like the sleeping pad holder straps on the bottom. Those I use a strap keeper on because I never use those.
Those darn strap keepers 😂😂
Hate those things
Love my 2300… unfortunately it looks like kuiu has discontinued both bags in favor of the venture divide
I dont think they did. They are just out of stock because of both big sales they had. Atleast I'm hoping that's the case
I hope you’re right but I’m not holding my breath. Kuiu usually puts an out of stock message and a restock date on items if they are only sold out.
What size you get? I’m 5’9 want to order one for being in brush day pack hunting for deer
you will want the large. I have both the large and the medium. Im 5'6" and right in between where the large is good but a little long and the medium is good and just a smidge short.
I was looking at the 2300 but also noticed the my brought in the Venture 3000. Guess back to the drawing board on deciding which would be best.
What did you go with? I like the divide but after watching this, now like the regular venture as well. I’m probably going to get a 2300 or 2000 on their next sale.
@@seabass22 I went with the 3000. Have plenty of room. I carry my tree saddle rig in there saddle and one stick platform and other stuff when archery hunting. Also easy to switch out for rifle hunting. Plenty of pockets and the waist belt is removable if needed. Lots of options. Even carried my spotting scope with tripod attached in it.
@@brycehiigel235 sounds like the metcalf I got. I can fit my platform and everything inside the pack and wrap it in my layers. Probably could get my sticks in it too, but just had them strapped to the front.
I think it is the same size as the 3000.
@@seabass22 I have the Beartooth 80 as well. I use it mainly for archery elk hunting. My has the Metals as well. I bought her the 3000 and she likes it better do to the multiple pockets for better organization. But for a day pack i really like it. It has a divider that you can as a pocket or unzip the bottom to hold the scope with the tripod on. The legs of the tripod stick through the bottom.
The 2300 is on the KUIU outlet site for 159.99 right now
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up
Memo Day sale: $131.
Do the bags have any straps on the bottom to attach a camping tent ?
@MicahRdr good question and can't rember but I believe they both do. I can not check right now on mine but I bet it shows in the video or on kuius website
I would like to see 2300 vs 2000 divide venture
I can and will do that soon
Tell me why kuiu is only offering the 2300 in one camo option
Email them and ask.
Great Video!
Thanks
Still use your Pintler?
Yes. For all of my out of state hunts
Do you have a video on your target backstop?
I do. a couple of them. Search back stop on my channel it will pop up a few videos on building it, testing it etc.
Thank you for the quick response.
@@Dan.Dockery very welcome
U turned your back on Michigan. Now u are getting frustrated and negative. Michigan woods, landscape, cold weather smells rules. No crazy floating giant spiders or palm bullshit. You’ll be back
Never frustrated or negative. My wife calls me pissy and opinionated instead🤣
I bought the water bladder to go with my 2300 and was extremely disappointed with it. The bladder full of water took up nearly all the main space.
Did you extent the side compression straps to let the bag expand. 2300 cubic inches is 2300 cubic inches and it's got a ton of room in it. I can fit a whole deer in mine
I certainly did.
