Climbing Kilimanjaro with the Six Moon Designs Flight 30

by Matt Emrich

In January 2025, my buddy Dan Raetz and I set out to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Dan’s a police officer. I’m a firefighter. We’ve both seen the toll our jobs can take on mental health—on ourselves, and on the people we serve beside. This trip wasn’t just about reaching the summit of Africa’s highest peak. It was about raising awareness for first responder mental health and doing our part to help break the stigma.

Flight 30 UL

With the Flight 30 Ultra, we’ve stripped away all the useless frills and given you a pack with the right features to get the job done.

Sits high above the waist so as not to interfere with the natural movement of your hips.Vest harness keeps the pack close and secure. No more bouncing and swaying.

Option to add UL hip belt for even more stability. Highly adjustable so you can easily dial in your perfect fit. Lean design means no hang ups when negotiating cross country through narrow trails and brush. Stays with you no matter how fast you change direction.
