Exo K4 Pack - Nalgene Holster - Left or Right?

[thunderchicken21]

Having not run a Nalgene before, what side are you placing yours? I'm right handed for what its worth. Typically use belt pouch on left side, Ivory holster on right.

Rifle over right side, nalgene left. That way stock doesn't bounce off nalgene. I may try to fit a Kifaru gunbearer. I did just use a sling.

Ivory holster right and nalgene left. However, it might be my bugle tube left. Going to see if i can modify the nalgene holder. LOL

This. Hipbelt pocket and nalgene on left, rifle on right

I used it on my k4 last year and it worked fine. I am looking forward to exo’s version though. Having it connect the same way the Nalgene holster does will make a good system even better.

I'd like to see what EXO have in mind.

Using the sling places the weight on my shoulder which can get old after a few days. Even with my flyweight rifles! I do have a thing that holds sling to pack strap very well so slipping is not an issue.

I started out running the Nalgene holster on the right side as I'm right handed and that just made sense. But that was during bow season. Once I started packing a rifle I switched it to the left side and it just always stays there now.

Always on the left side. What backwards person would run it on the right side?

Unsolicited opinion here. But I have been putting my nalgene on a carabiner and hooking it to my shoulder strap webbing and letting it ride down below my left hip. And it never once has bothered me…super easy access. So out of the way you forget it’s there. Just something for those you you with comfort issues to consider. Costs nothing too which is neat.

I go rifle in a gun bearer on right, and Nalgene and spotter left, generally tripod middle. Balances out pretty close.

I put mine on the right because I like my weapon on my left side (gun bearer for now waiting for exo to release their option for weapon carry) I will put my ivory on the right side as well but didn’t have the molle attachment on hand, so will swap the old exo attachment for molle on my ivory tomorrow when I get home.

I do think I will pack my pistol in a razco on my bino harness this year, they didn’t have a hellcat holster when I got it so the ivory was my next best option… razco offers it now, so I may leave my ivory on my k2, or mount it on my pop up I have turned into my steelhead pack… I have a whole list of first world problems to resolve

I can say, the holster and Nalgene holster both on the right side won’t be an issue, but if you want to see it set up, I can post a pic tomorrow evening when I put it on there

Here it is with both on the left side

Rifle on right, Nalgene holder on left.

But when bowhunting I could see myself switching it over to right side since holding bow in left hand.

87/13 split right now...almost sounding like a pretty good res/non-res tag allocation split

I'm right handed so always left for me. Rifle in gun bearer right side

I’ve never “ran” a nalgene, but I sure have drunk from one.
…..ran…. Haha
