Sidearm carry with pack

[croben]

Don’t run a drop leg or any kind of lower holster while in the woods. It’ll get in the way when you’re going through thick stuff, the holster scraping is loud, and your pistol/revolver will be covered in everything you’re going through.

I’m a big fan of the Gunfighter Inc Kenai chest rig. It’s out of the way, won’t get hooked on anything, and it’s always on you unless you’re shedding/adding layers.

Black bears and pigs should be a lot less concerning than feral humans... I have multiple ways to carry depending on weather and amount of clothing required. You need to find what is comfortable to you so that you are always carrying.
