[QUOTE="littletoes, post: 1883, member: 579"] Anyone else use a water bag with a drink tube? I've been using one for years,before everyone started coming out with them. I like the way they keep the water quiet, but the tubes freeze when it gets cold out. Got the idea from a hiking store here in spokane. Have always had hiking stores, but finally now getting some more "hunting" stores. I've used a platypus with a long tube over the shoulder hooked to my right shoulder strap. All in a modified military pack that I purchased back in the 80's. Put my own sternum strap on it and mod. it also to carry my tripod for my spotting scope. They didn't have pack's avilable for me with the options I've added "back then" Hell, I don't sew for $#*!. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] But, I haven't seen to many packs that I would spend the money on that were that much of a gain over my old one. I have learned that a good pack should center the load over your hips. That your hips should carry the load, not your shoulders, how many good hunting packs have really good hip belts on 'em? And how does that work in a "winter" situation where you have lots of clothes on? [/QUOTE]
