None of these bags are throwing up. :confused:

Well, here's a start, though it's not a BOB. Here's the gear just before I packed up for a weekender.

Ok, stuck some fingers in my pouches and made it throw up. I'd like to emphasize that this isnt my complete hiking kit or even an over nighter. This is just the gear I like to have on me whenever I step off pavement, regardless of how long Ill be out or what Im doing.

I was thinking why the hell do I carry all this gear for me and my dog while in the mountains, I decided to check out some dog packs.

After checking the web I found that decent ones are not cheap, so I made my dog (Becker) one.....

Actually, the nice thing about the canister is that you don't have to hang it. I've started hiking in a few parks where hanging food is mandatory because of black bear populations. Hanging food is a pain, and it's not always foolproof. So I bought the small bear canister. You just put food and any toiletries with a scent in there, and then you place it at a distance from your camp. Bears can't get in it. They might bat it around a bit, but unless they grow thumbs and have a coin or screwdriver in their pockets, the food stays safe. Some parks out west now require bear canisters, in part because the bears have become accustomed to them and know that it's futile to try and harvest food from them.

Here's another throw-up bag photo. Getting ready for a hunting trip, and here's what's in my deer hunting fanny pack. I'll probably add my phone, a walkie talkie (I'll be hunting with a buddy), and a camera to the pack.
