Exo Journal — K4 Design

After spending 3+ years hunting, scouting, and guiding with it, we take an unfiltered look at the condition of Chris Horton's pre-release K4 Prototype. Chris used this prototype to pack out at least a dozen elk and deer, hauled hundreds of pounds of shed antlers, and put in countless miles of hunting, hiking, and pre-season training.

After 50+ days in the field, 300+ miles hiked, and 4000+ pounds carried, we take an unfiltered look at the condition of Justin's K4 5000 Pack System. Exo Mtn Gear's Owner & Designer, Steve Speak, cuts the pack open to show "behind the seams" and explain how K4 is built for performance and long-term durability.

Whether you use a folding chassis rifle or a traditional hunting rifle stock, we demonstrate the best ways to securely carry your rifle on a K4 Pack System...

A well-designed pack can enable you to hike more comfortably and hunt more efficiently, but only if you understand how to use it effectively. In this video and article, Steve Speck, Owner and Lead Designer of Exo Mtn Gear, shows how to load a K4 Pack for a multi-day backpack hunt, including packing principles that you need to know to get the most performance from your pack.
