In case some of you Mystery Ranch guys aren't aware… theres a pretty cool company making some slick add ons for the NICE frame.

http://oneirosvalley.com


I just picked up the load lifter kit, M.E.A.N. lumbar pad and power pulls for my NICE frame and Overload bag.. What a difference these items make!

I like the Oneiros lifters as there is no crossbar at the top like the MR kit has…so my head can actually go further back if needed… plus they are adjustable in height. The MR ones while very functional at their set heigh, kinda look odd and get in the way. I keep the Oneiros lifters at a height that gives great angle for lift…and I suspect when I get that heavy load I can increase the height and give me even more lift angle.

The MEAN lumbar pad feels very nice. Adjustable in thickness as you remove or add the padding to fit your needs. I removed one thick and one thin pad..and now it locks right into the small of my back…love the fit!

Power pulls are a game changer! Such a simple idea! Just pull forward like other popular belts out there.

Gave them all a test drive with about 40lbs the other night walking the dogs… very pleased.

If your running a set up like the Longbow or Crew Cab you won't be disappointed with a load lifter lift kit…
..everyone needs the pulls
...any your milage may vary for a lumbar addition.

they seem to be on sale now too….
shipping was about 20$US to my door and had them in a week...

I have no affiliation…. just dig the gear! ….paid full price too… the sale is new

Can't wait to get out and really put them through their paces this season.

Never heard of these guys before, looks to be quality stuff. I hope in Mystery Ranches next gen of packs they will address there short frame issue. I also think they could shed a pound or two with out sacrificing much in durability and strength. I love MR but these were the two leading factors in me switching to a kifaru duplexe.

Yes .. Kifaru makes some sweet gear. Seems theres a new pack twice a season lately though..
I hear you about the weight of the MR NICE frame… but they are strong. In the big picture 2 pounds isn't a deal breaker for me for the hauling capabilities…especially now i have lift.
Multi day sheep hunts are not in my future … if they were I would prob get a Kifaru duplex and EMR2 or a Stone Glacier (not sure what their large offering is called). But day hiking hunts and over nights are …. so My 3000cui Overload with meat shelf will fit my needs just fine…. enough volume to hump my day crap very comfortably…. and load hauling for when I'm fortunate enough to take some game.
