Still using the Mossy Oak vest I got about 40 years ago, been stitched up and repaired multiple times. In its pockets I carry my gloves, good ol steel handled pruners (keep breaking the handles on the ratcheting pruners), a smaller folding tree saw, my mouth calls, a knife and some Snickers bars. In the game carrier back part of the vest, a couple bottles of water, TP and a mesh bag with a shoulder strap to use carrying a bird out. The vest has a pad on it that swings down when you unsnap the top. Most of the time I use green Army pants and the big leg pockets might hold a PBJ samich or two... Shells are just the 3 in the gun, an 870 20ga.
