Pretty sure I'm about to pick up the new Eberlestock Recon harness. Probably just the rf pouch to add on the bino pouch/harness. Already have some other stuff to attach that work for my other small items I want in reach.
I have one and am really happy with it so far. I just don’t have side pouches figured out yet. The Eberlestock ones are small volume for what I’m trying to carry.

I run an FHF. I was pretty stoked to have a little spot for the revolver using the straps that the rangefinder pouch connects to the bino harness with20240213_095042~2.jpg

marsupial gear
front zip pocket: lic/tags, diaphragm calls*
back pouch: cell phone
left pouch: thumb release* or misc odds & ends (don't always feel confident my release will stay put and do worry if i put it in all the way it could tweak my adjustments)
right pouch: wind checker
left side accessory: range finder pouch
right side accessory: radio pouch*
under: was running the bow clips but would caution that the plastic will wear your bow string if you move around

*depending on hunt

I’ve been keeping a range finder, small scissors, wind checker, archery hex tool, a small knife, and my calls generally. Oh and of course my cellphone

I sometimes will carry a sharpie or a small set of stickers/tape for range days.

I’ll also carry my pistol on my bino harness.

I stopped carrying my release on my bino harness because it would sometimes hit my bow or rattle around. I’ve since switched to a Kydex holder for it that I keep on my waist.

Have a side pocket Marsupial:

- Aqua tabs
- whirl pak water pouches
-very compact battery pack (emergencies only)
-small multi head charging cord (phone, head lamps)
-lighter
-Ferro rod
-NU 25 lamp

And the usual Wind checker, range Finder, hidden canyon knife, hunting licence.

Basically a last ditch survival kit on my chest for when the pack gets dropped.

Besides binos, range finder, and extra rounds, anything that I'd need to make it out should I lose my pack for any reason.

I'll play. Marsupial mag case. Back mesh has a Kestrel caper knife in S90V. Right side pocket has a wind checker. Left side pocket has Chapstick. Front zip has optics brush, lense wipes and mini Bic. Ear plugs are usually stashed in one of the pockets. RF is hanging off right side in its pouch. Skinning knife (Buck 141 Paklite) hangs in its sheath on left side. Wonder if I "need" more gear, but I'm seldom very far from my pack. Kill kit and tags live in there.

The only thing in my bino harness is my binos. If I want a sandwich, it will be in my backpack. As a bow hunter, I don’t want the Beverly Hillbillys’ truck look protruding outward from my chest. I do have a separate rangefinder pouch on the side, only because it is less movement to use, as opposed to reaching for it on the belt.

I’ve got a bunch. Lately I’ve been using the Eberlestock recon. I typically have my rangefinder attached in its own pouch. Then have a scent/wind checker. If anything would be extra in a pocket, it would either be my tag or my phone. Pretty simple.

FHF harness.
Standard loadout: 10x or 12x bino; rangefinder; lens pen; wind check; folding knife; drivers license, bank card and hunting license in a small heavy-duty plastic zip pouch. Extra pouch on the bottom molle with rain cover and extra pair of glasses in a hard case.

Backyard woodlots... Post-season for small game:
This harness works great as a muzzle loader possibles bag for my .32 Cherokee.
Range finder for confirming distance for hold-over; knife; license/card pack; cleaning kit and extra caps in the bottom pouch; folding ammo pouch with ten 2 dram glass vials with 20 grains 3F powder; short starter; in-line capper; small screwdriver; bullet board with six .32 patch/balls.

If I go off my property to state game lands or a friends place, I will move this kit to two small molle pouches that I attach to a larger fanny pack with shoulder straps. That will carry a large thermos of coffee, food and several squirrels/rabbits, which I usually clean and zip-lock bag in the field.

Thanks! These lists are so much better when accompanied by a photo.

Quick question - what's your use for a carabiner carried in a bino harness?

Two purposes:

1. I saddle hunt and 50/50 leave the bino harness on. I use the carabiner to hang the harness on my strap

2. It’s a fully climbing rated carabiner so it’s just a good back up to have for when you’re in and out of trees. Can be part of a emergency decent system or help prevent suspension trauma
