UPDATED - review...DB's Wild Thing Pack
I got this thing in, yesterday........watched the accompanying video.....and I must say I'm darned impressed with it, so far. I went home for lunch.....packed my matrix in it.......my blind chair......bow holder.....BOW.....etc......and I can't express enough how COMFORTABLE the carry is.
If you're a serious blind hunter (I am, but ONLY for birds)....I'd recommend taking a serious look at this pack. It's got more pockets than I have gear, too. I can lay this thing in the passenger seat of the truck on Saturday morning......and I'll take one thing in to my turkey grounds with me.
It's even got a built-in 3qt. water bladder. I will likely NEVER utilize this piece of gear to its' potential......but it's nice to know how versatile it is.
I'll post a full review of the pack.....once I've used it a few times.

RE: "Preliminary" review...DB's Wild Thing Pack
They run what, $250? I'm alost positive I can come up with something cheaper.
If you're hunting out of a Matrix, that's $650 total invested into the one blind. Way too expensive for me.
Neat pack, but way too expensive.

Individuals have to make their own decisions on their purchases based on a number of factors. Cost being one of them. It's just not my ONLY criteria. If I was a younger man....in a different place in life.....I'd have to pass on this. I'm not.I didn't.
I also didn't pay the price you cited for it
. Do some legwork.....and you can buy them for a lot less.

I think we need a new poll; Who is least likely to figure out that there is a Bowhunter Gear Reveiw forum for threads such as this.
