I think I must pack the most of everyone on this site, as I wear a Mossy Oak Super Elite vest and carry a Cabela' s Whitetail backpack, about 2300 cubic inches, and it is full. I bring morning breakfast, midmorning snack, noon lunch and midafternoon snack, including coffee in a thermos, pop and water. I carry my raingear most days. I layer and as I dress down, I pack the excess clothes in the backpack. My vest has a foam cushion, but I also bring a thermal beaded cushion and a web seat with folding legs (or two if I' m with another hunter), as I put the vest cushion against the tree so my back doesn' t get too sore. I sit on the beaded cushion on the web seat. I also often carry my laser rangefinder in my backpack, plus sometimes I bring a camcorder. I carry a cell phone and a GPS in Buddylock pouches on the straps of my backpack.

Needless to say, my vest is also full of calls and tools, such as a ratchet style pruning clipper, a folding saw, nail clippers, maps, multi-tool, shells, face
mask, orange turkey bag, headlamp, camo gloves, turkey decoys and stakes and more.

I generally go into the woods at 5:00 a.m., and don' t come out until half an hour after dark, unless I get a turkey, so I carry everything I can think I might need for the day (including TP). I also confess that I am a gearhead.

So, to me, a vest AND a fannypack is not enough!!!
