It's been a slow process, partly because I'm hard headed and trying to force what I have now to work and partly from lack of knowledge and experience with all the different products out there. My hunting setup has been evolving over the past few years. I am in the market for a new hunting pack. I'm new to the forum and I have enjoyed lurking and learning for a little while and now I need some help. There are attachment points on the bottom for either a Grab it or Sherman pocket.Hello all.
