Personally i hate carrying anything but 5-6 shells in each side of my vest for longer walks. But i do..always clip on my camo fanny pack..its not one of those fancy dancy tourist looking paks that holds a camera and a years worth of film or whatever. In my pak i have a 20 oz bottle of water which has some raw honey mixed in with it to give my dog any xtra sugar/ energy. I also have a gauze pad and tape,little container of hydrogen peroxide, plastic gloves in fanny. I dont wear it in front of me like a tourist looking for a photo shoot but rather i swing it around so it is riding on my arse. On either side of me on my waist is a leather man and 7" cable cutters. Comes in handy if doggie gets into a porky or worse yet, a trap. Been there done that with the porky and the leather man , needle nose came in handy out in the field removing quills. To hell with what vest we are wearing, we need to be prepared for our doggies!!!
