I have one and use it when hunting close within a few miles of camp. Very well made, lots of attach points, and the suspenders a very comfortable. Mine has been abused and it still looks and functions great.

One of the best hunting products I have bought.

I switched to a nimrod system. you can configure it for what ever the need by adding different size bags to the harness. Or for short trips use just the harness with the fanny pack built in. I like it because I am a big guy and the adjustments allow for a perfect fit.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on December 14, 2010, 02:22:43 PM: I just bought one from The Sportsmansguide. It's a Grizzly Kodiak. $25 or so. I've tried it on and fits very nice. I can put all the minor
stuff in it. Like , sandwiches, TP, calls, has a water pouch, ammo etc. All those other ones are expensive. I stay away from Cabelas
online because you pay tax and shipping now since they're in Washington. Besides, Cabelas is proud of their prices.

Post by: teanawayslayer on December 16, 2010, 07:58:13 AM: I had a nimrod pack. I used it for two seasons. It was a nice pack a little on the spendy side. I have always used back packs and this was the first fanny pack style I have tried. I just couldn't get used to it after all the years of back packs. I paid like 190 for it and just sold it to a friend for 50. I would buy a cheap one just to see how you like the fit. I wish I would have done it this way. Live and learn.
