Smoke will love it........
I'll need to put that one through its paces. From the looks of it there's not enough volume to hold my gear. No doubt....one of your better ones....

Here is a large lumbar pack (sort of) from Nimrod Outdoor. Relatively expensive, but made in USA. Years ago, I bought a bino harness from them that was good quality, though maybe not my favorite design. Here is a link: Pinnacle PackI use this waterproof Mountainsmith lumbar pack for fishing gear: Mountainsmith Dry Tour Lumbar Pack

Ditto on the Badlands Monster and whatever you pick, shoulder straps are a must.

Seems crazy, but when you consider that Simms, Patagonia and Orvis get $200+ for their foreign-made, smaller, and less technical fishing lumbar packs, it becomes less offensive....

the Kifaru lumbar options are all above the $200 mark as well- nice, but spendy

This fore sure, used one for years. Way more comfortable than a day pack.

I'm guessing you'll prefer the second option
That depends, how's yours holding up?

Badlands Monster Fanny Pack https://www.badlandsgear.com/products/monsterI have an older one of these, diff camo pattern, that still gets use in situations like you noted. I like the various compartments, shoulder straps stashed in the pack but available if you pile gear on. Straps on the top and bottom to attach layers you may have peeled off, or to carry along a rain jacket. Lots of room for peanut butter and banana sammiches too! Far and away the best I have ever owned. It also works well as the belt on a set of chest waders, while holding a pistol and holster. If more than just space for a sandwich is needed, this pack gets the nod.

Also, peanut butter is a wonderful sandwich media. Works well with honey, banana, raisins, craisins, walnuts, or more peanut butter. Lately have been running almond butter to limit sugar. But, it's better with honey stirred in ...

I realize winter is coming on and the Wuhan Virus is adding to the cabin fever, but only Smoke can keep a thread about lumbar packs going for 6 pages.......
