Any time I drop my pack I drop a pin. I will also never ever be a mile a way from my pack.

 

[TopherDave]

Yeah. The last time I dropped my pack on a stalk was on my son’s antelope hunt. Had to crawl through some tall grass up a hill to get within 150 yds. Only went about 60 yds from my pack but it took me an hour to find it! That was the last time for me.

I have a little orange piece I carry on my pack. 12” x12” and this helps. I dropped my pack when I was stalking a caribou. Got about 150-200 yards away from it. It still took me 20 minutes to find it in that flat tundra with the blaze orange!

I just drop a pin on onx. Problem solved.

This thread got me thinking. I found the below on chinazon. I'm going to move my tourniquet to the bottom of my FHF FOB with these mounts. Unless someone has a better solution.

Sort of off topic, but it looks to me like the stretch loops would snag the TQ, probably actually difficult to access when you need it. A CAT TQ has hard hooks on one end to hold the bar, no way you can pull it through those stretch loops. If you go the other way, maybe it works, but there’s also a cinch buckle on that side to snag, too.

I use a tear-away Velcro TQ pouch. When you pull on the flap, the whole thing opens nice and wide.

Edit: I think this is the one that I have, but there are many like it. I don’t even use the stretch loop inside the pouch to hold to TQ. The Velcro is solid, it’s not going anywhere. Pull the flap and the whole thing opens up.

I consider my mount sacrificial in the instance that I need the tourniquet. Rip it out or cut it out if needed. I'd rather replace this one after every time I use it (hopefully never) than carry the extra weight of a more functional holster. FWIW

Don’t use onx. Their maps suck for AK. And I don’t like the idea of giving up my hard earned spots to anyone, even if it is just an “app”

I went to a Hill People Recon with a bino pouch on front from a regular bino harness a few years ago. Mainly so I could carry a handgun concealed. I’m now carrying a ridiculous amount of gear on my chest. Really it’s everything I used to stuff in hip belt pouches on my pack, so I’m not really bringing anything extra. My rangefinder pouch slips over one of the arm straps just like on my old bino harness. This setup allows me to basically just carry a small pack for hydration and an extra clothing layer if I’m scouting or day hunting close to the vehicle.

I have two small pouches that mount to either side of the bino pouch on front of the bag. I keep the following in the pouches.

First Aid / bleed kit.
Compass
Whistle
Mini lighter with tape
Flagging tape
Insect spray
Wind checker
Camera card reader for iphone
Tags/ pen
Headlamp
Lens cloth
Spare head lamp battery
Meds / electrolytes etc

Backpack on the front and rear huh?

Hey man, not everything requires a negative response. Some thoughts can just stay inside even if you disagree with someone. Everybody’s system is different.

 

[Matt5266]

Was just a kind hearted joke bud. Meant for a chuckle.
I didn't say I disagreed with his setup. Your words not mine.

I'm guessing by the name "oldskool" he has some thick skin.

In my marsupial bino harness I keep
Back mesh pocket -I phone
RH side pocket - A piece of the plastic insert from an ammo box with three rounds in it.
LH side pocket- wind checker
Front zip pocket- several lens cleaners.
Main compartment- Binos
My range finder is in a separate case on my harness.
On the very very rare occasion I carry a radio it is in separate case on the harness shoulder strap
That is all.

I'm using a Marsupial No Mag harness with a small zippered pouch on the left and rangefinder pouch on the right.

Bino harness has:

• Binos
• Release
• Windchecker
• Tags/zip ties
• Laminated card for bow tuning (how to adjust rest/sight based on bareshaft or broadhead impacts)
• Small fixed blade knife
• Water purification tablets
• gallon ziplock bag

Small Zippered Pouch has:

• Olight I3T 2 flashlight (also serves as a backup headlamp)
• Lighter
• Lens Pen
• Bow repair kit - Hex wrenches, spare d-loop/rest cord, serving material, nocks

Rangefinder in the rangefinder pouch and diaphram calls in the outside pocket.

 

[Ajsomp]

RF binos, tourniquet, zoleo, spare battery for binos, headlamp, spare magazine, tags/license, space blanket, kestrel, with one spare battery for kestrel. Cell phone isn’t usually in there, usually in my pants.

I will probably move my knife to the Bino harness.

In the past I carried all sorts of things - lighter, marker, tape, signal mirror, compass, spare blades for my outdoor edge, lightweight saw, purification tabs, ear plugs,

I used to treat my harness like my first line gear for work - that if I had to survive with just the harness if I had to. But reality is - I am never too far from my pack. And for white tail hunting I dropped the harness altogether and just use a rick young, and keep everything else in my small bag I bring along anyway.

I’m actually in the market now for a new bino harness because while the AGC is great - it lends itself to be filled up with stuff. And since I’ve paired down it’s really bigger than I need.
