What's in your bino harness

[Luziana Feller]

other than the obvious, what do y'all keep in your bino harness/pack on a back country hunt? any fancy mods out there? additional pockets or pouches you like?

my AGC Cub carries...map, tags & license, range finder (case is rigged up to the side), 3-5 rounds for rifle, aquamira, bic, wind checker, headlamp, and possibly phone and compass depending on weather and clothing worn

I keep a bit more in mine. I can also run a pistol on it on the rare ocassion I carry one.

Use a Vortex case - wind checker and calls in side pouches. License/tags and backup compass in zip pouch on back. That's it.
If carrying a side arm, it is run alongside bino case - I've rigged an AGC holster that attaches to side of my harness and harness straps.
Rangefinder is in belt pouch. All other gear/food is in pack. keep it simple so i dont have to fumble through lots of inventory riding on my chest.
Interested to hear what others run or don't in their set ups...

I keep a squeeky toy bulb in the front pocket. It makes a quick effective varmint call.

Sitka Bino Bivy. Lens cloth, calls, wind checker, spare range finder battery.

I'd like to come up with a convenient way of mounting a rangefinder pouch on the bino case. I thought I'd be able to ditch the rangefinder after going to range finding binos, but I still like to have it when bowhunting. I am leaning towards adding some velcro to the underside of the bino pouch as I don't like running the rangefinder case to the chest straps beside the bino case.

for those that run the vortex, is it the same as the AGC cub? from the pictures ive seen it looks almost exactly the same.

I have a Kuiu harness with a front and bottom pocket added. Love it.

Just used it to eff with a passing coyote!

Fun.

It came with my AGC, but I carry it in anther brand now.

FHF has basically everything I absolutely need to kill an animal:
-Rangefinder pouch
-Carabiner for attaching thumb release
-Tags/license
-Lens cloth
-Wind checker
-Sawed-off Tyto w/ about 10 blades wrapped in electrical tape (kept in a little pouch I sewed that attaches to the bottom of the harness)

I'd like a headlamp too, but there just isn't any extra room and I don't want a bigger harness. My goal is to keep the harness as compact as possible and have everything I need to tag and gut. I almost always wear my backpack which has everything else I need, but there are some instances in which I need to make a quick move or short hike and don't want/need the kitchen sink.

I use the vortex harness. Rangefinder, matches, headlamp, license and tags. Sometimes my havalon.
