    +2 on hunters element has even got a built in rain cover
    If you think the grass is greener over the fence,it might be due to the leaking septic tank.

    I have the large hunter element.
    I have taken the magnets off as I was fed up of not being able to head in the right direction with my gps. It does not affect the gps signal but affect the gps compass, even at arms length.
    The gps fit into the left side pocket and my secators into the right side. Good piece of kit although now I need to find another way of keeping the top pouch closed.

    Running the AGC Kodiak Cub. Quite bulky. Works well. Probably would get a Twinneedle if i was to upgrade.

    XL mate. This size fits my Geovid 10x42 perfectly. It also has spacers to adjust the height. Real handy. @Been Upto

    Anyone had any problems with the magnet on the TwinNeedle v2 harness vs compass? Sitting on the fence between that one and the Kuiu Pro.

    Really like the TwinNeedle and the option to attach a long GPS pouch for the Rhino but no good if it screws with the compass...

    i have recently bought a Hunters Element bino bivi , and after reading comments about the issues with the magnets interfering with the compass on your gps i checked my gps (64) while wearing the bivi around my house and yard and gps seemed to be just fine, the north pointer was pointing in the right direction , but i didnt check the actual compass on the gps though. But when i tried a real compass it went all wonky when held next to my bivi , but was ok when held at arms length .

    Lol funny, whats a Swandri ?

    No seriously, when I started hunting deer (worth a weeks wages dead & a months alive) were very hard to find & Thar were almost extinct, I didn't even have binos or a pack had a Sack with rocks in the corners & rope tied around them .

    Crazy looking back, but no money, gear, or info around in those days !

    At least I started with a ‘proper’ pack (Kiwi made, Wintest or some name like that) I bought in 1972 for $10 2nd hand. (Still got it if you want to buy it lol)
