Awesome.. Thanks guys. I drag out deer so, I’m not looking to pack out meat (the elk hunt - if it ever happens - may be another scenario) So, it sounds like as an overall EDC I made a good choice 👍
I have the Badlands pack … SEEMES heavy to me but, I planned on using it as an entire hunting season day pack. From whitetails to most any trip / hunt that I hope to go on. It fits more than enough for a day. Just curious if you guys rely on one pack like this ?
Thanks for
Thank you for the suggestion…. I’m fine with MY decisions and I’d also like to clarify that I DO NOT have an irresponsible demeanor. IF I painted a picture of my home having guns and other harmful items CARELESSLY strewn about, I apologize. That is NOT the case at all.
I’m 53 now and my boys are 12 and 14. I perfectly agree with you on guns, knives and EVERYTHING else that would need to be put away…. HOWEVER - I also see and 100% agree with the circumstances that dictate RESPONSIBILITY when kids friends are around.
No THEY don’t and I NEVER assume they would. THAT is the time(s) that I secure ALL of my firearms. My comments were based on what I perceived as storing firearms at home WITHOUT kids friends around. You are SPOT ON in your comments and views for kids company times. Thank you.

Excellent views here.. and I respect ALL of them. This is one of those topics that seems to go either way BUT YES, times are definitely different now. Here‘s another observation in MOST ALL of the responses… it’s mentioned avoiding an “ACCIDENT“ . I’m one to see the NEGLIGENCE in the all too...
I used some wall repair mix from Home Depot once ... I can't remember if it was fiberglass reinforced or not? But, it was not heavy, mixed well and did the job on an older Ruger rifle. It may be worth a look in the hardware stores ?
Hey guys -
I bought the Badlands Diablo Dos a bit over a year ago (thinking I'd FINALLY make it out to an Elk Hunt ... but, it hasn't panned out ...YET).
Are any of you using this pack ? Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you.

If I may share MY experience and view about this ? >
I STRONGLY believe in removing the TABOO of certain things. I was constantly around firearms, hunters and archery equipment growing up (and maybe most of you were too?) My boys are 12 and 14yrs old now and I have ALWAYS raised them that IF...
Thanks again for the welcome(s) ....
I'm actually on Orlando / Kissimmee border and for the last few years, the building boom has been HORRENDOUS !! >>> As far as hunting and shooting? ---- I go anywhere I can.. mostly with friends that have property (St. Cloud, Orlando and Wildwood areas)...
Thank you !!.... I want OUT of Florida BADLY !!! But, until that time comes along (Wife and Kids on the same page), I'll have to keep sweating during deer seasons and Smackin' Hogs !! :D:cool:
