Hunting Vest a very Versatile Tool

[@newhampshireoutdoornetwork9505]

I have a game gamehide vest like that. After about 2 years those shell holders stretch out and you'll lose shells if your not careful. It is a really nice vest till that happens

[@Nathan-wf3fr]

Thanks Dave! My favorite is a Filson oilcloth vest that’s over 15yrs old. So versatile.

[@juliepura4976]

35 degrees lol lol it’s minus 50 c up here in Canada, now that’s being cold !!

[@woodstrekker6345]

That vest keeps the briars and brambles from tearing up your wooby jacket. Thanks

[@NichGatton]

I was just thinking about asking you about that vest. Thanks for the video brother.

[@thewinddownwithpauldixon]

I'll take my vest over a pack any day! Glad to see you are enjoying yours.

[@blakeumthun8128]

I have a Gamehide vest in orange that is used for birds and gun deer season. They are a damn fine hunting vest with a ton of room.

[@richstone2627]

I like it. I had a vest very similar when I was a kid in the 70s. Mine looked just like yours except it was canvas and the shot shell holders were inside the pockets instead of outside. Other than those differences my vest was the same. Carried many a squirrel, rabbit, duck and grouse in the big pocket. I just might have to buy one like yours now that the nostalgia is kicking in. I like that tiger stripe jacket too but can't find one like yours. Thanks Dave.

I wear vest every day during the cold fall and winter season. My vest of choice is the Stormy Kromer wool and waxed vest. Have had them over 5 years and daily wear for me on cold days,

[@gregsanderson2470]

I've used a wool surveyeers' vest. There are lots of pockets for things like compass and large back pocket. Plus, it's wool.

[@effeojnedib7208]

I've started wearing my vest again this winter. I like that game pocket being water proof. Putting a wet pancho back in keeps the water from soaking through. Thanks for your video.

[@Charles-qx4on]

Nice vest Dave and yes they are certainly handy. I have been wearing a Kakadu vest, made in Australia, close to 12 years now and it qualifies as part of my kit, in the woodlands or everyday. Nice suggestion Dave for anyone wanting more out of their equipment.

[@mrwes100]

Plus it looks a darn cool Big Dawg Dave!

[@johnskitzis6540]

Thanks for the review! Very helpful!

[@JeffHanauer]

I will look into this.

[@hdrvman]

I love my old Filson Tin Cloth original hunting vest with tons of pockets !!!

[@BrettJones01]

Thanks for sharing Dave, very nice vest.

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Dave, I've been wearing a vest every day for years now, I wear one year round, and I have several of them. They are great for carrying a few extra EDC items on your person to make life a bit more comfortable and convenient.

[@reedmitchell6716]

Love my vest and have several. Like Turkey vest, Fishing vest, Small game vest. Almost like having a backpack on. Very good points here.

[@riverwulf6721]

I just bought a vest like that by Ridgecut Toughwear a couple months ago. Then I flipped on one of your videos and saw you wearing the same. Love the vest.

[@robertmiller9142]

I love the best and wonder how much it costs I like wearing a good sturdy vest when out woods running and hunting it helps when in the woods also do they come it different colors to?

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Dave

[@ironmikehallowween]

I have been looking for something like this. My dad used one all the time. Thanks

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Could we get a link for the jacket as well

[@glennevitt5250]

Thank you for the information 😎

[@TheSaneHatter]

I have long wondered why a generic “survival vest is a subject that doesn’t get more discussion in Bushcraft, when it seems to be such an obvious and useful idea. For myself, I got a really good price on a comfy, multi-pocketed twill vest from Bass Pro Shops only last year, and I’m eager to put it to the best use possible.

[@MA-hc6mb]

Poachers pocket in the back, don't know if it's common in the US, but this'd be used for rabbits or small game in the UK.

[@DF4Trap]

I like the vest as well. I picked up a Duluth flex fire hose vest last summer when I was in Tennessee. It has proven to be very useful. I now carry most of my sustainment gear in it. I find less need for the pack. On our elk hunt last month, I ditched the vest for a jacket with a similar pocket setup and again had all my sustainment gear in it. Temperature was in the single digits. With what I had with me, I was comfortable. Could function up to forty-eight hours without it being an issue. This includes carrying a garmin inreach. The vest or jacket does have some weight, but climbing through the brush is much easier without a pack. I find myself lately depending less on the pack in the field, with less gear. Ultra light puffies are great, but I prefer the more durable materials that don't rip and are fire resistant.

[@chrishogue5070]

That’s an excellent idea; I’m looking to buy a vest like that soon !

[@alexanderbielski9327]

I really like that game pocket! Better than them dripping on the side of my haversack 😂

[@dennistebout9130]

Dave, just curious. What size did you get where it’s able to be worn over everything?

[@dgunn4408]

If you made that vest bright orange and added chest pockets you would have a surveyor's vest. I can see the utility of this vest for the woodsman because I wear a surveyor's vest every day at work for similar utility. I stash a full sized iPad and can of spray paint in the back, and various notepads, multitool, cell phone, markers, etc in the front pockets. I'm not a land surveyor, I work in water distribution, but these types of vests are ubiquitous in civil construction. Generally speaking, utility vests really are brilliant things - they keep all your pocket gear up out of the way so you can climb, squat, kneel, and maneuver without having a bunch of bulk around your legs and hips. I find myself much more aware of valuables like cell phone and compass when they're up around my vital organs than in my pants pockets.

[@joshuabomar6974]

Gamehide makes great hunting products. There hushhide materials are great for bow hunting & spot & stalk scenarios from the ground. Nice vest Dave , thanks for the demo. Happy Hunting

[@dlbade01]

I will recommend the gamehide mountain pass extreme vest. It doesn't have the same style game pouch, but it has lots of pockets that are very useful. Unfortunately I think they are only in blaze now. I bought several and have one in camo.

[@shawnross5850]

May I be so bold to suggest a battle belt. Luxurious amount of space on your hip in an organized manor. Well what about this. yeah there is a pouch for that.

[@saltyguerrilla]

Thank for the review. May I suggest you check out the Tom Beckbe Fowler vest in tin cloth. They make the very best oil cloth gear and they have some cool camo patterns too. It’s not cheap but it’s real quality.

[@tyler1768]

Fishing vest or reporters vest work well

[@jamesstephenson8539]

I have a waxed cotton Filson hunting vest I've had for years. It's great in cold or wet weather plus it has the game pouch all the way around the sides and back plus 4 other pockets. Two for shells and two larger ones for other gear.I forgot to mention it's in a dark green color.

[@nathandalton8243]

Dave finds bric n brac and makes em millionaires overnight.

[@saritaford3667]

Very handy 👌 👍 ❤

[@rajibjoshi9647]

I like jackets that give you 1 or 2 extra pockets perfect for outdoors person ( but I'm not into vests since it leaves your arms cold ) I've had one or two leather jackets in my life and am thumbs up for leather I probably have enough pockets as it is but very handy to have few more

[@MBwelding]

I have one my grandmother made me out of my desert bdu’s . I love it but it doesn’t have the water proof stuff in the back, so it’ll let blood trickle down your butt if it’s a close shot . Dad got excited once at a pheasant and shot it about 3 feet from the end of the barrel, took the whole back off and guess who’s vest it went in lol. That’s when I discovered that it wasn’t water proof lol.

[@shawnsadventures2852]

Been looking for a good game vest..

[@rushyahr7423]

I love these discussions about hunting and blood. Its so "taboo" for youtube, but for no legit reason.

[@tactdad8424]

What brand is the woobie jacket. Thanks

[@Country-Marshal]

That good stuff, right there.

[@Wojtek7060]

Dave, could you make a video on how to gather firewood without a folding saw or an axe? In reality, most people would have only a folding knife with them. Knife is enough for starting a fire, but what about the fuel?

[@lisamcqueen8509]

Thats nice, but i asked about the tiger stripe camo jacket awhile back. I noticed Andrew was wearing one also. Is it available? Thank you, have a great weekend! Steve

[@DavidCanterbury]

Perseverance Survival

[@TraitorVek]

Nice looking Vest

[@tomritter493]

I've done overnights out of my vest that game pocket holds a lot and stays in

[@TheWoodsmanWay]

What brand is the woobie jacket?

[@wayneblair288]

Love a worm vest.

[@kumbackquatsta]

add flaps to the back pocket, and you have an all weather pack jacket

[@jeepnicc]

How do you find this stuff Dave?!! That thing is freakin' GENIUS! I want one, bad! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@trevermccall6762]

👍

[@anonymous_friend]

Who makes the woobie jacket?

[@j.l.327]

#1. TP in a ziploc

[@maxpinson5002]

I have and use similar vests, just not of that make. They probably aren't as durable either I do have one of the old Ca**las Safari vests that is a really good one, just doesn't have the classic game bag pocket. It does have lots of pockets though, too many IMO Thanks for the video and review

[@hiramhaji7813]

Yes they are….

[@BradCarpenter-z5m]

What part of Ohio do u live I live in ohio too

That's pretty nice. I thought it might be dynema or however you spell it.

[@JoeCool-mj1so]

Alright

You should make things for if the zombie apocalypse ever starts we would be able to fight against them

[@zippitydoodah5693]

Meh. Been wearing the same Barbour field vest for almost 20 years. Waxed canvas. Good clothes last for decades.

[@brianbartulis9709]
