I don't have a vest, but thinking about getting one of the alps grand slams that has the removable kick stand seat.

I go out all day...4 AM to 8 PM sometimes so I take more

I carry a green nlyon brief case with a one box call and one push pull call.
Battery charge pack for my phone.
orange hat
extra gloves of weight for the day because early season MN starts out below freezing
camel back of water
energy drink
granola bars & lunch
survival kit items
toliet paper kit
Book / magazine to read in the blind
Land map
Pruner

On my back...
A dark green canoe #4 envelope pack
low height folding chair
chair pad
2 mesh fences
jake and hen decoy - bulky plastic primos ones
Rain gear if needed

On my neck - compass and owl / coyote howl / crow call (which I rarely use)


Yea.. I seem heavy, but I set up on one spot and usually get my bird mid-morning when the toms go quiet and I sit in funnels
.I'm fidgety so I find the blind helps me and I can read and sit for a long time.

My concern about getting the vest with the seat... my little bladder makes me get up more than I like so I would be resetting up the kick stand all the time.

I love the chair because a bum knee makes getting up off the ground harder.


But I am toying with getting a vest to consolidate. Just not sure on the chair part.


Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?
