Over the last couple years I have been trying to figure out how to have the equipment that I need handy while hunting. So far I have not gone out for more than a day, so at present I am not using my big pack. I have wanted to set up a chest-rig type deal with the things I need where I can get at them, and a few extra things on my back. I found a chest-rig that had an attached belt, and got some various sized packs to attach via molle straps, including a 3 liter hydration pack. I then got some Blaze Orange Nylon from Jo-Anne Fabrics, and made a cape type set-up so that I have more than the required 250 square inches of Orange on the top of my back and shoulders.
I'll have to see how it works out this year and make adjustments later.

Anyone who has similar style hunting-rigs, I'd like to see what you have to get more ideas.
