    Fanny Packs

    Anyone have experience with one of these?

    https://www.amazon.com/ALPS-OutdoorZ...s%2C217&sr=8-9

    I need a day pack and like fanny packs. They seem to be less restrictive and get in the way a bunch less - for me anyway.

    This one is looking pretty attractive right now... thinking about pulling the trigger.

    I haven't really found anything other than ALPZ. I'm open to suggestions.

    The Cabelas' offering at a slightly higher cost and 400 in³ more might be a better item (1200 in³ opposed to 800 in³). It has a choice of camo patterns as well.

    Good call. I need to drive to Seattle next week anyway so I'll stop at Cabela's and try one on. I rarely think of Cabela's unless I'm driving by. Thanks.

    I have the Nimrod Pinnacle day pack. Has worked well for me for a lot of years.

    Fanny packs are ok if you"re not hunting far from a road or truck. I don't like hiking out empty to get a pack if I get something some distance from a road. Years ago I got an eberlestock X2 day pack and that little pack has been bomb proof, can get a moose quarter on it if necessary.

    I've got a Badlands Monster day pack, and if you don't need or want a full size pack, I definitely recommend it.

    That eberlestock looks pretty sweet.

    I do have an older model of the Little Brother pack. Somewhat more money but worthy.
