I Like my vest for some situations, but other times all I need is a few small items that don't require a full vest. What options are out there this year?
This is on the cheap & might be up your alley...

I mainly turkey hunt down here in Dixie, so a lot of times during our seasons, vests are just too darned hot! Most of the time I wear my Beard Buster Belt.

I added a couple of extra pouches on it to carry all the stuff I use. It is comfortable, doesn't heat me up or restrict my movement. About the only thing it doesn't do is carry my decoys.
It's a bit pricey these days, but compared to a vest, it's still a bargain!

Now I need to get me one of those. I haven't used a vest in 2 years. Just because of the heat down here in southern Alabama. I just got a regular hip pouch I use, I have realize I can get around a lot easier without a vest.
Check out the Little Bear and Big Bear fanny packs at Alps Outdoorz. Excellent quality.

I used the beard buster belt hard for 1 season and must say it was a great belt and help up well but I carry to my crap so I went back to a vest. Missed having a back pad too.
looking into one of the beard busters for long walk hunting when walking over hour need to lighten the load
I love my Beard Buster belt guys, especially since I added a couple of extra pouches. I rarely use my vest anymore except when it is cold.
