some days i love my vest, some days i hate it. if i want to pack light, i grab my diaphram puch and my favorite slate and striker, and thats all for the calls. they easily fit in a pocket. i leave my camera on the tripod, so i carry it. i have a sling for my seat and gun, so i carry those on my shoulders. if i want all my calls, decoys, water bottles, and all the other luxuries, ill wear my vest.

i usually go by if i know where i will set up, i wear the vest, if im going out knowing ill bve moving and relocating alot, ill leave the vest and just bring bare essentials.
