Yet Another Fanny Pack - Rampy - 03-10-2024
Been watching this custom designed one by DB who is a medically retired Southern California law enforcement officer and revolver subject matter expert
He has had surgeries and understands the challenges along with having bad arthritis in his hands from shooting full house magnums in revolvers for years and years
Not really a fan of the ones I’ve got, this is expensive but it seems to be the best that’s available & won’t look out of place on a old retired guy with more hair on his face than his head 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think you can pull that off. I never see those around here on anyone. I have never seen one up close or considered it as something I would need. My first instinct when I do see someone with one on is not "gun" when being worn by older folks, those with a disability, or on an adult that looks like he got beat up a lot as a kid
. Of the people I have seen wear those ,in my travels, they did not look out of place. You would have to pull tissues out and offer them to old ladies, have bandaids ready for action, and pull out candy for the little kids from that thing as you say things like "back in my day..." to pull that off or just look crazy enough nobody will even notice it . In all seriousness you can pull that off and look normal.

I bought one of these for a carbine. https://www.vanquest.com/products/rackit-36-gen-2-covert-rifle-pack/

After getting it I realized nobody would look at me and believe I'd be carrying a snowboard.
It's a great case but I look way out of place with it. It's still a better choice than an obvious rifle case for going to a motel room.

Life rears its ugly head & our space x trip is cancelled and……..
Not sure if I’ll follow up on this

That sucks! Life can truly be a bitch sometimes. Hope it's nothing too serious.

I hope everything is- or will be- ok, Rampy. Sorry about your trip. Don’t forget to let me know if you will be in Eastern Iowa this summer (it’ll take me a little while the thaw some venison…).
I typically don’t like off-body carry options, but I’d consider that pack for Tucson when I’m here. Having a few bandaids and a roll of Lifesavers wouldn’t be out of place on a trail.

Thanks, not sure how things will shake out, nothing really bad just a combo of 3 different things hitting at the same time
Went and cancelled all reservations but might try a last min mad dash if the stars line up

March 14, 6:30 am Central is the target for Space X IFT 3..sorry it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to go, but you can watch live on tv with the rest of us..they’re projecting 9 flights in 2024, so maybe you can be there for the next liftoff..just a bump in the road for a man that has seen and done as much as you..

Problem is (such horrible 1st world problems) is we travel around the wife’s schedule & budget is really strained this year It’s about 1,400 miles to space x
9 flights this year is wild and opens up a bunch of possibilities
Wwhile I’d love to see a launch, just seeing a full stack would make me happy
