How tightly does the Alaska Guide pack ride? Any chance of being able to run without it flopping everywhere? It can be strapped down tightly. It has straps that go over the shoulder and around your torso. The straps are made of webbing (not elastic). Tightening the straps around your torso will keep the pouch from bouncing around even when you run or jump.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering. I may have to give it a try. I've been looking at that pack for a while now.

Single strap for me. Slung under the armpit for climbing, long hikes, cutting up animals, etc. I suffered for a couple years with the bino bra, and hated every minute.
Most everyone else that I hunt with loves the "harness" system, so I guess it's just me. Well, Dan fits a bra better than you.  Most people do... but strangely, the bouncing and flopping is what made me abandon the bra.

+1 on the Alaska Guide Creations Bino pouch. Jaret, the owner, is a great guy to deal with.
I've also tried the S4 Lockdown which would work as well. I agree, I carry my 10X42 in the big pouch, and my Garmin in the front pocket. Two most used pieces of equipment right on my chest. ![[Linked Image]](http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c256/mikemarkca/LeftFront.jpg)

I might buy one of those. I need a pouch with a strap that goes around my midsection. I hate having my binos hitting my chest while walking.

I have used the Crooked Horn Bino Harness with shield for 3 years now. It works well with and without my pack. It is a comfortable way to carry binos and has proven to be durable.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
