Great video. I took my new Exo Mtn K3 bag out for its 1st trip to Afognak, AK. It did a great job handling the bull that we dropped. I brought along the crib which really helped cinch it all in real tight. I would recommend this pack to anyone. It easily handled everything I threw at it. It was also a big upgrade in comfort (at pack-out weight) over my previous MR bag. I will be studying this youtube channel before my next outing. Pack worked really well for me but these guys/designers are able to get every ounce of performance out of the bag/frame. It took me a good 15-20 mins to get my gear, meat and head all squared away (had to cheat with some para-cord). Next time, after study, I bet I will have it down to 10 mins and no cord required. Crib was a great choice for training too. Nothing locks in a bag of softener salt like that crib did. Keep up the good work Exo!!!
Simplicity. I love it. I’ve run the same pack for 6 years from another competitor and though it is light and has served me very well, breaking down the pack every time I go to haul quarters out has always had me wanting something easier and more simple. I have found it. I just bought a K3 3200 5 minutes ago and I’m super pumped to run it through its paces. I have 0 doubt it will perform. I’m fully expecting to use it and wonder why i didn’t opt that direction in the first place. After watching all the information and fitting videos, the thought and design that went in to these frame and suspension systems is genius. Easy and quick. Thanks again Steve and crew
My exo k3 1800 came in today and I'm pumped to load it up and test it out this weekend while shed hunting. Right out of the box it fit perfectly! Just have to load up my gear and get me a sand bag or something to haul on the meat shelf. I'll be training non stop between now and September. Couldn't be happier with the purchase of this pack 😎
Thanks for the informational video. I love everything about this pack from what I have seen and I hope to buy one for this year's hunt. If the guys at Born and Raised and Angry Spike are rocking these then they must be damn good!
@@ExoMtnGear will do thank you!! I've decided on the K3 4800 and I'll be putting it to the test here in the coast range of Oregon this September. I will definitely let you know all about it.
Just getting back in to big game hunting after a thirty year hiatus cuz climbing and mountaineering became my thing. Looking at the various pack options and I think EXo is going to be the one. A lot of guys on rockslide forum recommend.
Excellent video Iam glad to see you using the military knee load . I still use that in my 60s as you get older it’s the only way to get it on your back . The sit on the ground and try to roll to your knees method although may work there’s a better chance of hurting yourself. Excellent job 👊🏻
I didn’t do the knee load. I’d sit down into the pack and then roll over and stand up. It’s more dangerous to fling that thing around onto your shoulder.
@@lnaesll just to clarify if the knee load is done properly there’s no flinging of the pack it’s quite smooth even with 100 pounds in the pack . I did a video 3 years ago on my channel on how to do it those that end up fling and swinging are usually women and men with no enough upper body strength. So for them the turtle roll is their only option
@@sheerwillsurvival2064 maybe I came off wrong. I was just commenting on what I found to be easier on my knees and shoulders. I didn’t mean to sound like it was the only way. My apologies.
This is a custom 6.5 Creedmoor I had built. It's an incredibly accurate and easy to shoot gun. Since this video I swapped the stock for a MDT Hnt26 chassis. For me is damn near the perfect gun for what I am doing hunting Western big game. - Steve
I am really happy I bough this pack. The one thing that's pretty clear is that I need to get in better shape to do what I want to do with it hahaha. Too many gummy bears and not enough real bears.
just bought the 6400. 6'3" and just over 300lbs. Was 325lbs on Feb 1 2022. Plan to be 240-250lbs by October and hoping the silver lining of being such a fat ass for a time, will be to hoist a pack filled with meat and my body already be used to it. Looking forward to that feeling
Thank you for your order! Let us know how the pack performs and always feel free to reach out whenever. Best of luck this season from all of us at Exo!
The bag I was using on this hunt was our 3200. Nothing changes in this video however if you were to change the bag size, all the bags mount to the same K3 Frame. Your capacity to haul meat stays the same, just the amount of gear you can haul changes between the bag sizes. - Steve
@@ExoMtnGear I have to pack my water into an area because of desert hunting. I currently have a 5300 cubic inch alps pack. I feel like I’m maxed in compartments. A lot of people run your 4800 series. Im thinking of getting the 6400. I only pack back for 3-4 days what do you recommend?
@@Harvestlandtv I would get a 4800 and then put water in the load shelf area just as if it were meat for the hike in. How much water are you packing on average?

Love it! Give us a shout if you have any questions on fit/function or anything else!
Great video! You make it look so easy! Excited to try the knee method to get into the pack. That’s the first I’ve seen that.
Awesome packs!!!
I have packed elk and deer over the past 2 years, what an amazing system..
Keep up the good work EXO
Just ordered my k3 4800 for this fall, can’t wait!
That was great real world video.

That looks like one bad ass pack. Damn, I just bought an Alps commander yesterday off of Face book Market place. I'd love to give that one a try.
Can you tell me what binocular case you are wearing?
The FHF Gear Pro-M
Awesome video as always. Love my 4800! Random question...what pants and hoody are you wearing?
I'm wearing my all time favorite Prana Stretch Zion pants and the hoody is from Kuhl, I believe it's called the AirKuhl Hoody.
@@ExoMtnGear sweet, thanks!

My preference is to have weight high. I flip them around from what you do.
What rifle and caliber are you running?
Which bladder tube disconnect and bite valve is that??
That is the Sawyer Quick-Disconnect kit.
