Rest in peace Jason. You inspired me to hunt harder than I ever thought I could.
@@nainoa2323 Real classy. Why even comment something like this?
Shawnee Sportsman but the gentleman did pass away that is sad
@@shawneesportsman6676 ?? How was that in classy?
What happened to him ?
@@ianhislop879 this is the guy that founded Sitka. he suffered from CTE as a former linebacker for the 49ers. He took his own life several years back. Tragic.
A 50 pound pack including stove for 10 days is pretty light!
Well done!
RIP Jason thank you. Your content is helping me get ready for my first hunt !
Can't get enough of the product videos, love seeing load outs and the different products used, it would be cool to see more videos like this of different load outs for the different seasons and hunts. Keep up the great work!
Cool video, like to see how u packed that. I can get about 4-5 days out of my pro 1850 & im always amazed at how much I can truly pack in that bag. I can only imagine how nice & roomy that bag is. Nailed it with a book! Last time out stuck for a day in tent & wish I had a book to read. Glad to know I'm not the only one who pees in a cup to avoid getting out of the tent.
Great video really enjoy seeing how someone else packs. Amazing gear I use kuiu clothing, gators, rain gear dry bags etc all works amazing. I bring a few zip locks they come in handy. The book is a must I was hunting the chugach and got stuck in my tent for 60 hours would have been tough without it.
i just ordered this pack. i was impressed by your video.
Rest In Peace Mr Hairston.
Kuiu is like the best Camo ever it works so well when you are going hunting
This man is a LEGEND
And I like that he actually put it on the scale
Probably the most realistic setup that people are going to have
Trekking poles?? This was so helpful to me. I have the 5200 and it packed up very neatly. Also have the GOAL solar charger to keep my cell charged for photos and videos. Then OS11 will make me a nice movie!!! I have never used KUIU before. But I bought you a new car on this trip!
Rest In Peace
If the weight of 49 lbs was correct, that’s not bad given how much gear. Love to see what was in the food bags.
Thanks Jason!!
Thank you for sharing this video with use it was great
Didn't expect all of that to fit. Thanks for sharing! That thing is like a Mary Poppins bag.
We tried to get him to sing "A Spoonful Of Sugar," but believe me, it wouldn't have been in anyone's best interest.
I really feel you get more out of watching someone actually pack a pack than dump it on the floor. Thanks Jason, RIP.
Wow! Good job!
Good luck!!
I'm inspired by guys like Jason (RIP) and love the whole philosophy behind Kuiu and the dedication they have to their products and customers. That said, all the items listed in this video total about $10,000. Is there a way you could make a video for guys on a little tighter budget? lol
youre not going to find the ultralight and top quality gear for cheaper. Most of the camping stuff has alternatives at say walmart, def not going to be as light and durable. That said, I've beat up a tent from walmart for 5 years with no issues!
- Agree with jgil, items you can save money on are the reallly expensive spotting scope, you can find a quality cheaper tent and sleeping bag.. but they will still be expensive! Sorry, but a mountain hunt is not cheap. I bet i can do that trip for a few $1,000 less though of whats in that bag.
He's also backpacking in the Yukon, that place is very unforgiving, it's not a day trip or a trip to the timberline
Rip brother. Very sad to find a fellow outdoorsman lost his life.
love videos looking at what people pick to take whats go to food choices for you ?
any pictures of your selection ?
Good info
what temperatures are you expecting/did you experience on this hunt?
RIP Jason!!!
What happened
The Kuiu Magical Tour Bus is coming to Boise at the end of the month. I just might have to take the credit card. One of these years all my camo might actually match, star date 2087. lol nice work
Please note that we will immediately be changing the name of the KUIU Mobile Showroom to The KUIU Magical Tour Bus; not only can you take the credit card, but you can take the credit for the new name, because we like yours better.
Wondering which Manfrotto tripod you prefer with the 65mm Swarovski? I currently run a 65mm Zeiss & need a quality tripod that isn't too heavy/bulky.
What brand and model of wristwatch will you wear on your sheep hunt?
Very nice. So 40 +5.25+water about 50 that’s lite for a hunt
That's a ton of food! That looks like at least 3x as much food last time i spent 7 days in the glacier backcountry. :-) but hey I don't know what's worse being hungry at camp or carrying all that extra weight getting there.
The calorie debt can ruin a hunt or even put your life at risk--but the weight you can train for!
@@kuiuultralight very well put and I like to eat, so I better train harder haha 😄.
Hope to see how the sheep hunt goes. How is the new verde 2.0 pattern working out? What made you want to upgrade it? I just want to say that it's insane what you guys have done to revolutionize hunting gear.
Unfortunately there's no video from this trip, but there are great stills that will come out eventually. Verde 2.0 is getting a great response--we tweaked it in response to user feedback. Thanks for the kind words--glad to be able to take our customers along for the ride!
I know this is a KUIU vid, but he packed a Manfrotto tripod, and I would like to say:
I got a Manfrotto fluid head video tripod, and it pans suuuuppper smmooooth. And holds my scope still without tweaking any settings. I highly, highly recommmend. I used my 20-60 spotting scope from GoSky (not fancy) and that tripod and I could see the rings of Saturn. And the moons of Jupiter. Super smooth and steady.
Yes, we have a couple of Manfrotto heads that work really well, especially the 700RC2 fluid head. For the weight, it's incredibly smooth-panning--it's the lightest fluid-head we know of.
@@kuiuultralight now I just need to get the carbon fiber tripod.. mine's just aluminum :( lol
If you're looking for a good lower-cost carbon tripod, check out the brand Sirui, which is sold on B&H Photo & Video. We have one we use in the video department here, and it's great, weighs a little over 2 lbs.
@@kuiuultralight Awesome, thanks! By the way my fluid head is Manfrotto MHXPRO-2W and weighs 670 grams with the panning handle attached, but that's removable.
@@jesswiseman2086 Slik Tripods are good too.
Did Jason forego a shell and bring yukon jacket as shell and raingear? Love watching even Jasons older videos. RIP. What an amazing entrepreneur and athlete.
That's the exact use case the Yukon was designed for--if you know you're going to be rained on most of the time, you wear the Yukon and don't bring a soft shell or outer layer pants. The fabric is durable enough to take pretty much all the punishment you can dish out. We all miss Jason, too.
@@kuiuultralight thanks for the rapid response! what a relief to not have to bring an extra (Guide) shell and (attack) pants! Thanks KUIU and JH!
What is the height difference of the new 7800 and the 6000 pro bags from top of lid to bottom of the bag?
Any chance you guys want to keep the Icon 7200 loaded down like this in the Dixon store. I was in last month and would have loved to have been able to feel what it's like fully loaded. Thanks Kuiu!
Next time you come in, ask Tiffany or Cody to load up a pack for you. We won't load it with product, but we have sand weights that we keep in the showroom for exactly this purpose--I think they have up to 100 pounds that they can load in.
What was the spotting scope selection?
I've got a 6000 Ultra and damn Jason, you are selling me on that 7200.
We'll make it worse by suggesting you look at the new ULTRA 7000! It has some of the same features as the Icon Pro, with the lighter fabric of the ULTRA.
Great Vid. Besides your small bag of personal hygiene what are you packing for toiletries? Few questions as to is there others in your party that are caring anything else for the group ie (cook stove was answered in prior question), water filtration systems, saw, shovel any rope or cord? How are you staying hydrated? Stock piling boiled or filtered water in other bladders or filter as you need it?
Great questions. In order: dehydrated wet wipes get carried as well. Water filtration is a gravity-fed filtration system broken up between the group; no saw or shovel; sometimes one or both of us will wear a paracord bracelet, but that's about it for rope or cord. We'll filter water and store in a couple of bladders, preferably at spike camp if we can leave it.
Which Solar panel is that the Nomad 10?...and what is the MAH on that charger?...Thanks!!
I see Jason has the attack pants in verde 2.0 when are we going to be able to get our hands on those?
For now, you'll have to get Jason to give up his prototypes.
Jason, do you use the large frame? if so how do you adjust it to get the most torso length out of the pack?
Until recently, Jason used the Tall frame, but has now gone to the Extra Tall. The key to a well-adjusted pack is to make sure the bridge straps (coming from the top of the frame to the shoulders) are at a 45˚ angle relative to the frame.

what kind of knives and what kind of dry bags do you guys use for storage and hunting and putting in your backpacks
Depending on the hunt, we're using Kestrel Knives ultralight fixed-blades (www.kestrelknives.com/), or Havalon Pirantas. In fact, if you'd be interested in helping design a new caping knife, Kestrel is running a crowdsourcing program on GIRU to design a knife with customer feedback: www.giru.com/project-detail?projectId=2201
As for dry bags, we only use the best...KUIU!
Roll Top Dry Bags:

Zippered Dry Bags:
www.kuiu.com/hunting-accessories-field-gear/zip-dry-bag/90044.html
Jason, where is your stove/fuel?
The stove and fuel would normally go towards the bottom of the pack, on one side or the other of the sleeping bag and pad. In this video, we left it wherever our brains were.
I am impressed with the backpack being able to hold that much gear and not "exploding" at the zippers.
Top !!!!
Awesome video! Wonder what boots those are going to be! How come Jason is going with the synthetics for a base layer now over the wool? And does he worry about getting cold with the xlite because of its R value? Also what is the advance of the jacket over the super down?
On hunts where he expects to have high precipitation levels, he'll take the synthetic base layers because they dry faster. For dryer hunts, he'll take some merino because it controls odor better over longer hunts.
Jason sleeps in a full Super Down jacket and pants, in addition to the 30-degree Super Down sleeping bag. So the Thermarest R-value isn't quite as important as it might be with less insulating sleep systems.
Thanks for the response. As far as the jacket, he wears the Kenai when it is a wetter climate I would suspect. Is there any loss in warmth between that and the super down jacket? Sorry for all the questions I just have a lot of the early season type clothing and want to get some stuff for late season hunting.
Super Down is more useful for glassing and standing still, Kenai is better for when you need insulation on a cold hunt when you'll be doing a lot of moving. They're for very different purposes--the Super Down is warmer, but doesn't allow you to exert yourself without overheating, while the Kenai is designed to be worn while you move.
RIP bud
did anything ever come of those scarpa prototype boots? those look amazing, but i don't see them in production yet.
Yes, but these things take time. Look for an announcement later this spring.
good reading is " the sinners guid" by Luis de Granada. thousands have been saved by this great read.
What is the estimated overall cost of this gear minus the boots and other prototype items..asking for a friend lol
10:08...real man licks his bleeding knuckle!!! he doesn't even skip a beat! Haha, Thanks for the video Jason! I can't find the briefs on the website. Is it a prototype?
The briefs appear to be out of stock at the moment--we should have more coming soon.
Do you guys use medium zip dry bags for your knives and sharpening tools
Yes, it's a great choice for that.
Would love to see the glassing pad available in Vias.
It normally is, we're just out of stock at the moment. We'll have more soon!
You sit on it, who cares what color it is!! Haha
What about actual water and then where do you store your trash from your empty food packets and how do you fit all the meat from your kill?
Great video, wish I could buy some of your stuff but it's to damn much $$$$ there's gotta be at least 5 grand in that pack alone! oh wait you just threw in a spotting scope now we're definitely over. I just bought one of your t-shirts to be cool I guess.
Hey Chad check out our Teton line--it's designed to be a more affordable entry point into our line, and works great for almost any lower-48 big game hunt.
Not as bad as I thought! got a thumbs up from me just for responding! way to pay attention to your customers. I must own that guide jacket in the Verde 2.0, maybe the wife will get for me for my birthday. Thanks again I will be wearing a couple of your pieces this fall.
Glad to help--taking care of our customers is priority one, whether on TH-cam or in the Yukon ;)
Chad Smith I started out buying one or two pieces a payday. If I needed a big item then I would save for two paydays. They have merchandise that goes on sale too. I can't say enough about their products. I don't buy anything else!
The one thing I did not see go in your pack was a stove . I take it you leave that to the outfitter to supply
Wow, a lot of people have noticed that we forgot the stove and fuel. Oops! I checked with Jason; the stove and fuel would normally go towards the bottom of the pack, on one side or the other of the sleeping bag and pad.
Hey I was wondering what caliber is your rifle that you were using on your hunt
On this hunt, Jason used a custom Boswell ultralight rifle chambered in .300 WSM.
Is there a link for those white food bags? Tia
👍
Does Jason just use the bone out game bag if he were to kill an animal or does he pack more game bags to get the meat? Hopefully that makes sense
It totally depends on the hunt. When elk hunting he'll use quarter bags, but when it's sheep, it gets boned out. I believe he brings a complete set of the boned-out meat bags on sheep hunts.

btw 5 1/2 lb rifle???? That's not fair. My 7 Mag is like 9 1/2 but she's humming that 150 gr Silver tip at 3250. 5 1/2 lbs would kick me into next week!
What rangefinder did Jason use or you guys recommend? #KUIUstrong
I'm not sure which model, but Jason usually used a Leica rangefinder.
Do you think so this could possibly fit into the new pro 6000
Doubtful--the Icon Pro 7200 that Jason took on this hunt is 1200 cubic inches larger (7200 vs 6000 cubic inches). The Ultra 7000 would likely work, and the Pro 7800 would definitely work.
what kind of headlamps are you using?
Jason usually carries a Petzl NAO and Reactik+, and an eLite for backup.
What watch are you wearing?
Benjamin Barnes looks like a Garmin Fenix 5x
thank God I'm not the only one that packs the way he does. . force fuck it into that bag brother !!
Water purification? Did you pack a sleeping bag?
Where would you hook up water bladder
There are water bladder hangers on either side of the interior, with corresponding ports for the hose.
What size are the boned out bags for his food?
Those are the Large ones.
KUIU Ultralight Hunting are the large boned out bags the same size as the large zip dry bags?
What was the total weight of the pack?
If you watch to the end of the video, he weighs the pack at the end. 49 pounds. It's also in the video description ;)
why the peloton briefs instead of a merino brief. don't they get stinky faster
Maybe marginally. But the real reason is that the Peloton stays drier, and feels better against sensitive areas of skin. Which is important in certain important anatomical locations.
Stove, fuel,water filter?
A lot of people have noticed that we forgot the stove and fuel. Oops! I checked with Jason; the stove and fuel would normally go towards the bottom of the pack, on one side or the other of the sleeping bag and pad. As for water, Jason and Brendan usually split up a gravity-fed filter system between the two of them.
good video. but you'll have alot of wet gear when it rains haha. that seemed a huge amount of food to pack?!?!
Pack rain cover is in there somewhere :) You burn easily 4000 - 5000 calories a day when hunting hard at altitude. Even the food Jason packed is a calorie deficit from what he'll actually burn on a hunt.
KUIU Ultralight Hunting rain covers don't work so well in the scrub haha. all gear inside small dry bags inside one big dry is the only way. yea you don't want to go hungry. you can never keep the weight on over extended hunts
What is your rifle chambered in
On this trip, he took a Boswell chambered in .300 WSM.
Where did you get that poster in the background!
That's a print by our own incredibly talented photographer Paul Bride, who accompanies Jason on every hunt. paulbride.com/
what's going on with that moose head? it looks like the skull is wrapped in plastic or something?
You are very observant! That was when it first arrived to the office. It wasn't mounted yet.
KUIU Ultralight Hunting oh yeah... shipping, that makes sense. I hope I have to ship a giant head some day...
im nz btw
Yeah, those merino sheep are not quite as challenging...
No knives or field dressing equip.?!!
no GPS?
GPS watch. I'll ask Jason what model he wears.
KUIU Ultralight Hunting did you ever ask him?
why do you need to “hunt” sheep? aren’t they farmed?
Great question! There are domesticated sheep which are farmed for their wool and meat. The sheep being hunted are wild sheep. There are four species in the US: Dall, Stone, Rocky Mountain Bighorn, and Desert Bighorn.
Dude all your stuff is super expensive. What about the common hunter?
The poors like us either have to suck it up and work harder to afford nice shit or deal with the weight gains, loss of performance, possible durability issues etc of the gear we can afford.
No disrespect to Jason or Kuiu. This is a pack for the very wealthy. The marority of hunters can not afford this gear.
all this gear to hunt a sheep you can just go to a farm all I need is a waterbottle a gun and my clothing lol
Oh man, why didn't we think of this!
