Def rate the Bino rig from Moroka30. Holds my 10x42 Binos in the main compartment which also holds my phone, ammo and other bits n pcs. Front pouch holds the rangefinder and the bottom pounch usually holds spare batteries and head lamp etc. Has small mesh pocket at front for windcheck powder bottle. I also added the Rino UHF holder and storage pouch for my PLB. Pros: -Holds a heap of stuff or can be basic and added pouches removed for smaller set up. - Carries well and doesn't get in the way of back pack straps etc - I run the safari sling and it doesn't hinder that. I anything holds the rifle out of the way of you legs. -I don't use a bow but have herd you can still draw comfortably. Cons: -2yrs on and constant rubbing on from rifle worn in Safari sling style has worn a small hole in the pouch holding the Range finder. Not a huge drama where the hole is. -Not 100% waterproof. A decent down fall will probably find water getting in the zips maybe? Water pools on range finder pouch. Easy fix, I use a shower cap which hooks over the whole rig.

Get them asap and wear them in mate[emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I have tried a few stiff leather type boots and just don't like them. My Lowa Rangers are now my camp boots. They are to heavy and I find I cant feel sticks under foot which results in a noisy stalk. I have found I prefer a flexible light boot. That can flex as I stalk. The boots I have been wearing for the last couple years has been Inov8 Roclite 325. I paid over $200 for them and can't recommend them enough. They are waterproof Goretex and are fairly hard wearing. I push through blackberries and have yet to pierce the seal. The grip is amazing on wet rocks, mud and dry terrain. I see they have come down in price as they have a new model out now. The only thing I think they might lack on is warmth in the snow as I haven't tested them in snow yet. Warm socks or foot warmers might help with that. Matched with my waterproof pants and Sea to summit gaiters I can punch through knee deep water and not get water in them. That's my 5cents anyways. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Welcome mate, how's your challenge coming along? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I have brought cheap bags before and have frozen my butt off. I just bit the bullet and brought Duck down bag. Mont Zodiak 700 from Bogong over Christmas. Good for -10 comfortable -23 Extreme. Was on special for $399. Very light and compact also. Looking forward to testing it out. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I have a 200Lt Evakool, slides in the back of my Ute perfectly. Would fit x2 Sambar Qautered. Four Hind legs, four shoulders and back straps. Plus a few bottles of ice water through out. Likely I have a 70Lt Drawer fridge for the cans[emoji108] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Hey mate, sounds like your on the money. It takes a few trips to get your kit down pat. I'm sure the fire thing won't be a problem at this time of year but pays to check. Also it gets bloody cold out there so hopefully your sleeping bag is well rated. Not sure how good the reception will be where you are going? In case of an emergency it pays to have backup battery pack to keep your phone charged. And if the reception is poor or nothing it pays to have a personal locating beacon with you. Myself, I always take a personal location beacon. They can be a little pricy but could be the difference between being found and not if the shit hits the fan. A worthy investment, especially if you are doing it often. I also carry a uhf radio. Binoculars are a must also. Take your time, these Sambar have big ears and will move off quicker and quieter than you can imagine. Glass through the scrub as far as you can then move and repeat. Good luck out there and be safe.

Just did a quick search. They weren't in Aust a couple years ago when I got mine but it looks like they are now.https://www.mitchellsadventure.com/product/vulcan-cyclops-2/hvg127.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQjw753rBRCVARIsANe3o456rQwUPaynbyS7UZAi6TtSDM53DShRxhdhnQd1bdBuxhbaA48FJBsaAspQEALw_wcB Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

That pack has a strong aluminum internal frame. Super comfy padding on waist and shoulder straps. The over sized buckles and zips take a beating. Also great for people with longer torsos. Cheers Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

If you can get your hands on a "Bergus Vulcan Cyclops 2" Russian military issue. I got it off Gumtree for $200. What a pack! Not to many bells and whistles but everything you would need. Day pack or multi day trips 90lt main compartmt, 10lt top storage and two removable 10lt pockets which zip together to make small day pack. First pic is it compact as day pack. Next pic is with x2 10lt side bags zipped on. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Spika have some great looking day packs. Pro Hunter range. Under $200 I think. Rifle carrying options and Blaze rain cover built in. I don't have one personally as my 120lt pack straps right down so I take that. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I was wondering the same. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

It's good up to 500m with a solid target. Havent figured out the fancy stuff it does with shooting angles etc Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

A year ago id say. Yeah mate, I'm sure its the only colour. It's their own camo design. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Very handy mate. Even fits with the chunky AA batt pack on. Is a smoother fit with the Lithium batt though. Has a handy hide away for the Velcro flap when it isn't in use. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
