    Shooting stick is must have, IMO. I highly recommend Blaser Carbon Fiber Shooting Stick 2.0. It instinctly makes one an excellent shooter.
    Do you have a pic of your binoculars set up? I have the neck pull down issue.

    see the pictures. Mine is highly modular. I can replace any molle/holder with another to suit the sisuations. I never felt burdened by the weight of the binoculars/acccessories. Believe me, I can breath much easier now with all the weight on my hip joint.

    I gave up on binoculars years ago, a 10x50 monocular is close to 1/3 the weaght and fits in my pocket. A 10 x vortex mono is 9 oz binoculars are 28 oz. Kinda looking at this 15x. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-reco...monocular.html

    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    Re: Your Hunting Gear List

    My gear list off top of my head:

    Primary rifles: 300 WIN mag Weatherby vanguard with vortex scope or 30-06 remington 700 with Leupold scope.

    Optics: Zeiss binos, vortex razor spotter, bushnell range finder..

    Pack: Eberlestock F65 little big top with F1 mainframe, works for me as my day pack, and a great meat hauler after deboning animal.. also have a J2DB dry bag for longer camps or hike in hunts aways from roads..

    Don't use a GPS I use compass(s), map, natural navigation techniques, but I carry a SPOT on me to send messages... I also have Gaia maps which helps alot and a solar-battery pack to recharge my phone... for rain gear I use Kings Camo... and I always have a Siltarp, and a saw, plus a $hit tonne of other things I bring in my pack, it's a long list.. I find the sil tarp very handy for not only an emergency shelter if needed, but also a great clean large area to throw meat when de boning an animal when doing gutless method.. cheers

    Great idea, at least if you're not bush whacking through thicker stuff...if you are you're getting wet anyway just from contact with brush..
