Hey guys,
So, the other day I was called out on a search. I wasn't informed of the specifics, and only had gear set-up for woods searching.
I ended up using my vest I had, over a PFD. We pulled over 70 miles during the river search, and I can tell you it was not very comfy.
So, heres the questions.
What vest have you guys used?
What do you like for river knives?(had to)
And, was it hard to get a hold of?
Right now im looking at the Stohlquist Wedge-E, its what the guys im running with are using, and its what they reccomended.
These are running around $100 in canada, which isnt bad, but because this is volunteer, and we are provided some gear, I was told that im better off to buy some stuff that I like, and not really depend on the extras that are available.
This is the one I have now, its not bad, but I would like a solid vest, and not have to throw this one on over. This one now holds a VHF radio nice, but I dont want so much extra space as well, just some bare necessities, Knife, radio, whistle, gps things like that.
Thanks guys,
