That's me. Gun is actually on my side. Not bumping anything. I've probably logged 350 miles or so with my gun this way. Maybe I just built up callouses at this point, haha.

The pack gets used on day trips and multi day trips where I have camp on my back. These setups cost 650 bucks or more. While I can remove the pack from the frame and attach another, why bother since it collapses to nothing. Save the money for ammo. This day we were just out for the morning and not far from our camp, so the load was light. But I would need the pack if I killed something so I could get the animal on my back to get it back to camp.

As for the yoga mat. I will sit for hours at times glassing. I prefer that over cacti thorns in my ass.

And the tripod. Try glassing out a couple thousand yards, scanning a mountain side for an hour without one. You won't see a thing.

Like I said, I may not be a great hunter but I'm figuring out what doesn't work.
