Love the chest rig set up along with your woodsman. Looks very practical m8 👍

Thanks bud, I blame you and Kevin for getting me interested in them!

Great gear! You will need to do another video in a few months when you will have optimized your setup, if it changes. I really appreciate your videos, your explanations are simple, clear and complete. Great work!

Will do, Bob thank you! I think there's actually going to be an overnighter coming up.

Cool rig pal. I looked at that one along with a number of others. You saw I went with the Hill People one after all was said and done. None of them were exactly what I wanted, but as you know I’d just modify whatever I got anyway. I thought about these chest pouches a bit before committing. Glad I did. I modified a 5.11 chest pouch for another guy I know so he could wear it with his wool clothing by adding length to the straps. A versitile piece of kit. 😎👍🏻

Great review of the chest pack. 👍 I bought a Hill People Chest Rig a few months ago. I like it but it doesn't have anything on the Numbat. Great piece of kit there.

P.S. I love the footage at the end of the review as well.

Thanks John! I'm hoping to do an overnight trip in a week or so. It will be with full kit and hopefully some cool footage as well.

Hi Jim. More lovely scenery. Great to see, especially loving the waterfalls and creeks. Do you find the woodsman rides a bit low with attaching to the chest rig? Have you tried both the chest rig and shoulder holster at the same time like Kevin does? Great review. God bless.

Glad you liked the scenery Andy! You're correct, the Woodsman does right several inches lower using the strap on Numbat compared to the shoulder holster rig. It's not enough to annoy me but I definitely prefer the height of the shoulder holster, the Woodsman basically disappears when I use it. If I hadn't been wearing the loose shirt I'm pretty sure I could wear both no problem.

@@bushcraftcostarica808 Thanks for the feedback. It was the way I was going to go as well, using both. Good to learn from the experience of others.

Dang, wouldn't you know it, our favorite shop in Manila Philippines does not stock Helikon products. Time to use the "secret weapon," the Internet search.
