Holsters for field use

[duelist1954]

In this video I'll discuss which holsters and belts I wear when I'm out in the woods hunting or hiking. I prefer to use good leather holsters in more civilized settings. In the field I'm a big fan of Uncle Mike's ballistic nylon holsters.

I've always been a fan of solid Kydex (recently the Safariland ALS systems)- nylon has always trapped water and rusted stuff up on me.

Nylon??? Guh-ross!!!!!

Get some brand of pancake holster for trail gun as branchs will not hang up on the front or rear edges of the holster like it will on a nylon holster or western cut rig. . Cross chest for hunting handguns or major meat eater issues. Nylon is for occasional needs or beginner woodsman and we have all had them.

I don't like cross chest carry because it can interfere with my binoculars

Hard to carry a 4lb scoped 8" to 12" handgun any other way than cross chest. Some holster are adjustable and can allow you to wear both and access a handgun with just asweep under the bino's. I use a streachy harness from calbela's and find I can get along with it.

If you think about hunting with a rifle and wearing a back pack , they tend to not work well together but a Boonie Packers- Safari Sling lets you carry a rifle across your chest low enough bino can set high on your chest above it.

If any of you guys have some ideas for a kydex design that would be useful to hunters or general outdoorsmen, please feel free to PM me.
