Fanny Pack or Haversack

[Sean B]

I really don't take a whole lot of stuff with me, so I usually wear a fanny pack

I just bought the black Asbell haversack. The green one seemed a bit on the large side. I guess I'll find out when the black one gets here. I plan on using it along with a hill backquiver. I'm hoping they both get along well together.

Size comparison of Bison Gear Haversack, Asbell Haversack and Kifaru Tailgunner 1 set up as a shoulder bag with a few extra pouches.  I use the BG and a Kifaru Scout the most.

The Tailgunner can be set up as a shoulder bag (one strap) or with 2 shoulder straps or with a waist belt/fanny pack (no shoulder straps)

I've had the same day pack made from Saddle cloth for 15 years now. i tried a fanny pack a few years back and felt naked without all my stuff i usually carry.

I like having enough stuff to survive 3 days comfortably on my back at all times. I never hunt without my pack, and keep it stocked year round and my bow at arms reach so i can grab my bow and go at a moments notice.... i think i'm due for a replacement pack though...

but.... i use a bow quiver and that makes it not an issue. Kirk

I looked at a cheap "sport bag" at Sportsman's Warehouse. I did sling it over my shoulder, and it gave me an idea of what it would be like walking and shooting with it on.

While I don't think I'd ever buy it, it did have some nice features: a nice top flap with a zippered mesh pocket, two full width compartments, the narrower of the two has 6-mesh pockets, and another zippered full width sleeve.
On both ends, there are zippered pocket.

I wish it was it bit better quality. At $25, maybe I should take a chance wiith it. Could always use it as a template for a home brew haversack.

Had been using a fanny pack up front but never really likes it.  Switched to an old Claymore bandoleer this season and I like it a lot better.
