Considering cutting back on what I tote along in the woods for a morning or afternoon hunt, and seeking an alternative to carrying a daypack. Any suggestions for a vest that can carry the essentials?
So, lets set parameters, few hours (you said morning or afternoon), so no major temp changes, no need for food beyond maybe a snack. No need for overnight stuff (heck it's NJ, so you can't be far from a road/house :-) )
Why carry any pack? You need:
- knife
- license
- bow/gun
- safety harness
- maybe extra sweatshirt
- maybe bottle of water
Cargo pockets which are on most hunting pants, and you're done.
