It seems like every year at the end of each big game season, I tell myself that I need to figure out a better way to cut down weight on my day-pack system. I typically use a Mystery Ranch 6500 or Crew Cab to pack my camp in, and have been using the "lid" day-pack during the day. I have found this to be effective to cut down weight but it is pretty uncomfortable (shoulder rub). This year I have decided to switch primarily to a gear belt, which will allow majority of my gear weight to sit on my hips instead of shoulders. Of course, I will still need a day-pack to carry some of the larger items like water, game bags, medkit, etc. but it wont be as heavy on my shoulders. It will also allow me to drop my pack to make a stalk. I am constantly making changes and tweaks to my load-out, so if you have a system that works, I would love to hear about it/see pics. My belt is currently setup to carry:
-Carabiner with rolling point
-Glock w/extra mag
-Multitool
-Benchmade Fixed Blade
-Expandable Pouch
-Gear Pouch (headlamp, xtra batts, wind detector, extra rifle rounds, etc.)
-Bear Spray
-Range Finder
EDIT:
It seems I need to point out that this setup is intended to supplement my pack, not replace it. No it does not make your pants fall down. In fact, when used correctly... a belt does a pretty good job doing the opposite.
