Train Hard. Hunt Harder.
I ordered an Alaska Guide Creations kodiak C.U.B. in Kryptek and all I have to say is..... WOW!! This pack has four compartments: two small side zipper pockets, a front zipper pocket and the main bino pocket (theres also a small elastic flap pocket for a game call or similar. The pack rides very nicely, its comfortable and doesn't move. I haven't taken it on any hunts yet but I ran mount Mcginty with it a few times and have been very happy with its feel. The bino pocket is held closed by a strap rather then a zipper or elastic, I like this feature because its silent, it incloses the entire binocular, and.......... its silent. The C.U.B. has the option for a fifth pocket underneath the pouch but I felt that defeated the purpose of the compact design. They also offer a bino tether but I decided to go without the tether because i'm often handing my zeiss to my buddy who uses leupolds so he can tell the difference between a deer bedded and a bush 
. I was originally worried about draw cycle clearance of the pack but I have been practicing drawing my bow and shooting without any obstruction. My only concern is shooting off the ground. I haven't tried to shoot my rifle while laying down with the pack on, but I assume this is a common issue with any front caring bino harness. With that said, Alaska Guide Creations obviously took this into account and used buckles to connect the harness to the pouch so you can quickly drop the pack or swing it off by simply unbuckling the straps. I carry a zeiss 10x42 in the bino pouch and a laser range finder in the front zipper pocket. I use a windage detector in one of the side pockets and care a spare havalon knife, waterproof matches and water purifying tabs in the other pouch. this gives me the ability to drop my backpack and purse game and if I need to survive over night I can with this small bino harness. At $85 this pack is really steep but its made in America, it seems durable, its made by hunters, it comes in four camo patterns, and the harness has an American flag on it. Super excited to chase deer with it come september 1st. I hope y'all find some use of this review.
