after playing with day packs (too hot on my back, bulky strap when shouldering rifle for a quick shot) I tried the old heavy belt with a canvas 'belt'bag' or two. worked OK but not enough for all the kit Ilike to carry.
finally invested in a Badlands monster Fanny bag - and love it. Lots of pockets, and the straps take some of the weight of your shoulders, and are very low profile - easy to shoulder a rifle etc.
I'm totally happy with mine - currently re-doing my knife sheaf so it will easily attach.
I recomend it!
Yes - start saving your $ - mine was $250 new
