How do you carry your Binocs?

[Butchie]

Yep, RY harness.

My wife made a leather pouch with a wide belt loop for mine.

I use paracord and adjusted the binos to lay under my left forearm ( I am right handed).  I run the string like you would a purse or satchel.   When I need them the paracord is a smooth swing up...then drop them.  I don't like the bino harnesses because you usually need two hands to use them and when I am out west hunting, my bow is in one hand.

I've tried about everything but something I picked up from a old Alan Altizer video was using a longer strap with my right arm and neck through it , and having the binos ride just above hip level and kinda back on my right side. Really keeps them protected and out of the way but very handy.

Kuiu harness for about 5 years now

I got enough stuff on my chest. I let them ride under my left armpit on their strap.

BTW, I finally bought the expensive glass two years ago. Best money I have spent, aside from good tents.

I've tried about all the harnesses.  I went back ti the factory strap with a head and arm through for arm pit carry.

I have had about every style bino harness and pack. Any more I use Rick Young's simple harness.  It is light and hugs the bino's close to the body for better movement. Never had a problem with any harness or pack getting whacked by the string.

Based on a previous thread and research since I will be using a Rick Young harness this season.


...Alan Altizer videos? Anyone know where I can get a copy of "Whitetail Eye to Eye"?

The best $30.00 you will ever spend

Ive ran Crooked Horn for years, a Rick Young harness for a season, then realized I hated all the bouncing and swinging around that type of sling allows, and went to a chest pack. Specificly a Kuiu, but have tried several. I hunt in HOT weather here in Kalifornia, sometimes 110 degrees or so, wanted something lighterweight but still secure, and the Kuiu's are pretty good. Badlands and Alaska Guide Creations are tops as well.

The Rick Young harness (which I still have) is good but Im just tired of my binos moving around, which they will do and it's annoying.

[LC]

Rick Young all the way! You can carry it multiple ways on top of that IF your binoc is set up for tripod mount I HIGHLY suggest Vortex binoc locks. They no longer make but you can stil find them on auction sites. Absolute necessity for binocs in my humble opinion.

[Trenton G.]

I normally carry them in a backpack. I only carry them when I'm sitting. When still hunting they just get in the way for me.

Kuiu chest harness.

[Mr. fingers]

Like a possibles bag or how,a,women carries a purse. Under my right arm close,to my waiste.

Alaska guide creations

lower left cargo pocket, sometimes I don't even realize me left hand is already coming up to my eyes with my binos, before even thinking about reaching down.

I don't like stuff hanging off me when I'm hunting.

[Brock]

on some long 550 cord over one shoulder and my head so cord is at angle across chest...bino on right side since I am right handed and carry bow in left hand.  550 lets me grab binos and slide them up to my eyes without snagging cloth or other gear...then they slide back down to just above my hip area when not in use...

[Bill Turner]

I have a light weight pair of Zeiss around my neck  resting inside my partially unbuttoned shirt. Always available and easy to get to. Found this to be easier than using a harness which I also own.  

[Rough Run]

Just like Mr. Turner - hanging inside my partially opened outer layer.
