Contemplating a Guide Lid for my Hoodlum pack. What are the pro’s and con’s with this lid?
That’s a good idea... I like lids for storage and access, I just don’t like them adding height to my pack while hunting unless I have a reason for it.I love mine. During day hunting I take it off and put it inside my pack with lunch, gloves, chew and other stuff I'll need daily.
When back packing, it holds my bow or whatever and serves as a lid.
I love it

I can appreciate that, for sure. Made the mistake of not stashing my food over here in AngelesNF and got woke up at 3am from smelling "the funk"... somewhere outside the tent. I smacked at the side of the tent to startle whatever it might have been. Then did a slow 360 check with Revolver and light after unzipping the door. Damn it... didn't see or hear a damn thing! Every time I started to nod back off that night my brain wouldn't let me and said "WTF are you doing!? There's Bears Nearby!" I was a mess the next morning from no sleep.I use my Sherman the way most guys use their lid. Food, first aid, and toiletries. I mind the extra weight less because it doubles as a beaver tail load sling. The nice thing about the Sherman is I unclip it at night and hang it with the rest of my food when in g-bear country. Probably doesn’t make a ton of difference but it gives me piece of mind that everything with interesting smells to the bear is hung and wasn’t in my actual pack that’s at camp with me.
