    I managed to get two of the wide models; One to test and abuse, and one to carry if I'm happy with the result of the testing. I'm excited to see it in person.

    Sorry, been away for a bit.

    I still really like all of mine. I used to not carry a 2nd magazine, now there's really no excuse for me not to carry a reload and a real tourniquet at all times.

    For any portion of a class that doesn't involve a lot of movement, why a chest rig instead of a dump pouch on your belt and/or a small satchel on the ground behind you for extra mags and such?

    For fly fishing, it helps that there are drab-colored, fly fishing-specific chest packs on the market. Which reminds me that I need to order another HPG kit bag to have dedicated to fly fishing.
