Dakine Builder's Pack

[untamed]

Been bag-hunting recently. Research led me to this one. Intended for for woods and forest crews I suppose to establish trails?

This is one of those designs where I'm totally stumped on whether functional or just another microwave freezer. Pockets, first aid kit and roll-up nail bag has potential but ummmmm. . . Ok, that chainsaw pocket is badass!?

I don't own any but AFAIK Dakine as a pretty good rep.

I'm more into plain simple bags but I don't see anything outrageous in that design.
The tool roll and the first aid kit seem gimmick but the outside pouch seem functional.
About the chainsaw carrying pouch, looks serviceable, the only thing that bothers me is that it's a bit far away from torso so might swing around a little, but that's only from pictures.

To me though, the FAK and the tool roll are the pluses. I bet the little vials that Countycomm sells would fit nicely in the roll.

Of course that "chainsaw pocket" could be used for other purposes, but personally, I'd never haul anything hard, metallic and sharp, carried in that position jutting up so highly from my back, especially out there in the woods. I might meet Mr. Murphy. . .
