No sew overhaul of the predator pack. Holds the predator, hydration pack, has 1 large pocket and 1 small pocket. With a Tethrd patch to make it LEGIT. I'm digging this pack.

Hydration Pack

Shoulder Straps

Although I wish it had some zippered pouches on the hip belt, I went with this: https://www.mysteryranch.com/2-day-assault-pack

Although I'm now second-guessing this decision based on the pictures above. It looks great!

My concern with that Mystery Ranch pack is more in the color. Anyone hunting public land around here during firearm season is risking their life with a brown backpack like that. Just saying.
Good point - I actually purchased the pack in the Forest color for that reason.

Dang that looks good.
This would make a good scouting/camera checking setup...

Thanks.. I have several other packs. Actually to many. I was looking for a bag to attach to predator pack like the OP did. Or I think he did? I think I am going to go with a couple of Danos pouches.

It's a hydration pouch pack made to attach onto molle loops. There is no sewing involved. Just thread the webbing though the molle loops and it's attached.

Whoa this looks perfect. Skyjacker, could you post a couple pictures showing where and how the straps connect on the top and bottom of the pack?

Here’s another idea for a product for you DanO.

Hunter blaze orange fleece by the yard. Those who use fleece saddles can get the correct blaze orange color that meets regulations. I cannot find fleece that meets the color requirements. Sure, amazon sells “blaze orange” fleece, but reviewers are commenting that it is not hunter blaze.

This is the closest I can come up with color requirement:

http://www.ihea-usa.org/hunting-and-shooting/requirements/hunter-orange-requirements

“No nationally recognized study has established or verified standards for the wavelength, luminance, or excitation purity required for visibility of any color other than Hunter Orange in natural environments by human observers. Hunter Orange should have a dominant wavelength between 595 and 605 nanometers, a luminance factor of not less than 40%, and an excitation purity of not less than 85%.”

Also, one can use the blaze orange fleece fo make quiet covers for their noisy packs. And some intrepid people can dual purpose the quiet cover with fleece saddle.

Thoughts?

Tether'd - how about a fleece or wool predator pack? I love the pack, just prefer more quiet material. I know it is bomb proof as made which is probably a huge selling point.

That’s a pretty sweet set up. I just got my predator pack in and am trying to figure out the best way to attach it to an Alpz pack.

Has anyone done any predator pack strap upgrades for just carrying it by itself early season?

Dave, do they have burrs where you live? Seems fleece would fill up with them and they can be bad here in the Midwest. Fleece is nice and quiet though.
