Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed or semi concealed carry options for backpacking

[atomic41]

I was hesitant about them because I thought they’d be too big or too slow to get a gun out but the size is great and of you position the zipper cord right it’s very fast.

Yes, very fast draws.

I just carry my old H&R 929 .22 in my shoulder bag, pack basket or backpack. During any particular hunting season I only have my rifle or shotgun with me.

I carry my g19 in a kenai chest rig while humping around ID, WA, MT, and OR. Depending how far north/remote I go, I’ll carry a mossberg 590 and/or bear spray. I sometimes get “looks” on trails, but I’d bet money those are CA transplants, and CA transplants aren’t people.

Seems like a lot of people like them. Especially the belt pack. Fanny packs seems to scream "I'm carrying, and I'm old" lol. I qualify for old so I guess I should reconsider them.

I love my belt back and literally never wear it around my waist. I wear it cross body.


HPG is the best option I’ve tried. Took me a while to convince myself to buy their Original kit bag, but once I did and used it I was sold. I’ve got 6 different kit bags of theirs now all set up for different uses. Incredibly versatile and so convenient for carrying. I’ve got 4 years or so with my original and it’s still in great shape.

I could carry two revolvers in there and then a couple of J frames in my pockets. A modern day version of Josey Wales!! Thanks for the tip. I might have to get one of those HPG bags and add a J frame to my collection.

HPG chest rig, or one of the chest bino harness rig like FHF gear. I use an Alaska Guide Creations bino harness to carry a g19.

That was my first thought, my AGC Bino harness would work great. Could be easily made to clip into the shoulder straps instead of using the harness.
