I share your philosophy YK.
I am unabashedly anti camo. That's not to say I don't own a few possessions of camo gear, but my goal is to completely replace and eliminate any piece of camo gear that I currently own. Maybe I am a bit of a non-conformist, but frankly, the overly commercialized...
I own two Diamond D chest rigs, which get used both for work and hunting. I also just picked up a Diamond D IWB holster for my everyday carry around the more "wild" places in Alaska.
Excellent choice Bruce!
ps. what is bear spray?
Haha, you are correct, the old REI did run out of years.
Have since upgraded to a much more qualified external frame...
I guess I was just reminiscing a bit.
I hear ya YK...It's looking like I won't get a chance to hunt my Nelchina permit, kinda bummed about that, but guess that's how it goes some years. I saw a bruiser yesterday while packing out my buddies bull, but alas, not my permit area. Oh well, on too goat hunting!!
