MD Gear Pack made by someone on these forums

[Armor9]

I read a post last week about someone on these forums that makes a pack to lug around all of your MD gear, but now I cannot find the post. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hey A9, a pack is not necessary in my opinion. I gear up at the site and hunt. Heck I don't even have a carrying bag for my current machines. It's just another item to collect dirt and need to be cleaned. The vehicle is never too far away to grab a cold water out of the cooler and to swap out coils when necessary.

Thanks fish1on, that is what I was looking for. Thanks!

Loco, pack might have been a bad term, fish1on posted the link I was looking for. My old infantry habits want me to have everything handy and Freeloader has made a very cool product, literally just what I was looking for

youd have to use one of those super large hockey bags to haul all your stuff around!!

Funny you should say that, my detector came with one. Also I forgot to mention that I HAVE to keep my stuff in a large carrying back because I have a 5 year old son. Anyone that has kids know if it is out and about it’s subject to being broken. LOL

Looks like a few quality products.
I like the Pack Mule

Sometimes my car is miles away, I love to carry out my trash and leave the place better then I found it. The “bag” allows me to do that. I used a back pack before and currently outgrew my Garrett cammo bag.

Carrying out trash is a BIG DEAL for me. I see many sloppy detectorists dig up trash and leave it right next to the hole. Don’t even get me going on uncovered holes.

I think that there are many styles of detecting I prefer a Custom pouch on my hip to carry my tools, cigars and other paraphernalia when I am miles and hours away from my car.

Cheers


Need my “tool” belt

I got the Pack Mule with some custom additions, it is AWESOME! He makes a very high quality product and was very helpful when I was "designing" my pouch. FIVE STARS!

What additions did you make? I am new to MDing and the pack seems like a good idea, but I don't know things of things that I would need/want that would make it easier. Thanks.

Read the 15 page post from the beginning and see what members got and why. It was very useful for me when I read it when ordering my setup.

For example this was a feature I had to have now for you it may not be so important.

This is what I sent him, "I was thinking along the lines of the one you made for RETIREDFIRE, it had the two zipper pouches on the outside, I would also like and inside zipper pocket, extra grommet drainage holes at bottom and an extra "D" ring. I am pumped about your product and ready to proceed." I looked at a whole slew of them he made and chose what I thought would make sense for me. I too was a (still am) newbie so I wasn't too sure what to get either. I got the two outside zipper pockets, on I keep extra batteries, small leatherman, Deep Woods Off Wipes, or Hand Warmers depending on weather, etc. I got the extra grommet holes as I am planning to do water hunting and holes drain the pouch quicker. My suggestion is look at all of his previous products for ideas, then establish a dialogue with him and he can offer some great suggestions.

So going off your post and the other posted in that thread, the pictures there helped a ton. I ordered this:

- Park Ranger in the color of Coyote Brown
- 2nd outside zipper like post #216
- Molle strips like post #77
- Extra D ring like post #77
- Inside zipper pocket

The fact Freeloader will customize is awesome. What an amazing product and service he is offering! Sounds like it is high quality at a great price. Can't wait till I get it and it gets warmer to use it.

Yeah, the pack mule is on my radar as well. Good looking product for sure.

 

[WaterScoop]

Freeloader is a good businessman and an amazing craftsman . Looking forward to finalizing my deal with him as well. He does have a full plate of things to do. I am thankful that he still finds time for me.


Get a load of these side pouches...

 

[beerguy]

I have a couple of his bags. Great products.

Yeah I wasn’t 100% sure if I wanted the Ranger or the Mule so I deferred to the smaller one as I can always get a bigger one but if I didn’t like the bigger one I’d be stuck wth it.

I love that he has taken a hobby and a skill and made himself a little side business. From the pictures I’ve seen they look like a real quality product. And for him to customize, now that’s awesome.

I got both. I go on small hunts and long hunts, lots of trash and little trash so I decided to get both. That way I can share with the wife when she joins me as well .
