I couldn't agree more mud,all good points. I've never took the time to down size my pack. Something I will have to consider and plan for. This will take some time. I'm going to a weekend camp out December 7th I will be checking out there sleeping systems to see what might work in an extended bugout situation. Not to mention carrying 75lbs which is nicely tucked away in a pack with a good frame is COMPLETELY different than trying to carry a 75lb dead animal that is flopping all over the place. Staying in some sort of decent shape is absolutely essential and often overlooked by many. Even if all you can do is get out and walk for 45min to 1 hour every day, that's better than nothing. We all can't be 6' 4", built like Superman (I'm not) so we have to do what we can to stay reasonably in shape.

After Rifle season I am giving the deer a break and doing more wood harvesting so that leaves a couple weekends before Christmas at least. I see those all the time in my catalogs but never new anyone who actually used it. how does the sizing run? as to the second one I was thinking more along the lines of an LBV to use with my USGI pistol belt. my canteen alice clips to one side the holster to the other. Sizing runs pretty normal.. the holster that comes with the second vest fits a Glock nicely and plenty of room for magazines.

And we need to find a good time and get together soon.. Here is a link www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/concealment-vest-olive.aspx?a=556274to one of the vests I was talking about. This is my 'tornado warning in the middle of the night grab it and go vest'.. plenty of pockets to carry things I will need. I always have bottled water sitting around so I grab a couple of those and this vest and if necessary head down the road to the camp shelter. The other vest would be for other purposes. www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/VEST-163Both are useful and serve different purposes and carry quite a lot without filling a pack. I think I will be putting the one at Cheaper than dirt on my birthday wish list!! LOL!! Thanks! ;D
