Very cool Kev. I love the Tailgunner. Do you not take the woobie in the tailgunner?

I love my woobie. Id say its my best outdoor purchase in a long time.

The woobie fits on the compression straps or in the makeshift bungee cord I put on the center of the MOLLE attachments.

Ah! Very cool. Youre set up very well with just the tailgunner then!!

Awesome set up Kev :thumbup: Is the starflash mirror much better than other mirrors out there?

 

[RescueRiley]

Great setup there Kev... Well thought out and well equipped with good quality gear....

 

[Fallbrook Forge]

Very nice! Kifaru's gear is awesome! And they are coming out with new stuff too!

I gotta tell you, I'm suprised the TG1 holds all that

 

[k_estela]

The G2 line looks great. Check out their site now to see the details of the new line up.

Kev,

Can you please tell me what terrain you hike in where ORANGE isn't a contrasting color?

TF,

In New England, orange is everywhere. You can easily lose something orange in the leaves. You can't lose blue though.
