It’s great getting out of the craziness of Seattle and onto the serene trails along the Deschutes in Bend, OR. My Specialized hardtail 29er performed splendidly and was outfitted with a Hill People Gear OD green bag that carries an extra tube, tools, and DEET bug spray. I also use a Blackhawk Hydrastorm Tsunami to carry pepper spray, food and my Glock 43 plus a spare mag. The Glock is attached to the loop material in the hydration compartment by a Cook’s holster. Yes, that is a 43X slide on a 43 frame. I prefer this set-up as it greatly enhances consistent ejection. The mag in the Glock is a MagGuts +2 which gives me 9 rounds of RA9T on tap.
