RE: Fanny packs
Look at LL Bean. They have a Big Game Lumbar pack. I bought it several years ago. The design has changed by adding teh fold over top. This looks like an enhancement.When the pack rides down, I sometines use teh shoulder starp to help with the support.
I was able to put binos, calls, hoist rope, clippers, small saw, extra batteries, flashlight, knife, compass, scents, mask, gloves, snacks, release and morein the pack.
Crooked horn outfitters alsohas an intermediate back-pack
