Anyone use any sling bags for day hikes? If so, what sling bags do you guys use?
>>2866908My wife does when we go to Six Flags.
>>2866908I hate them because the uneven weight distribution throws off your whole posture.
Treesizeverse. They got more options on their Etsy page than their website.
>>2866908here is mine, i bought it in panajachel guatemala for $10. its based, i might try to make one with the next deer i shoot.
>>2866915This is exactly why I hate them too.
>>2866915>>2867087Thanks, I was thinking about one but this would bother me a lot
>>2866915>>2867087Are you guys filling these small bags with chunks of lead? How are they getting heavy enough that they're throwing your posture off?>>2866947Looks like a nice little bag Anon. Are the sides stitched, or is it like one of those bags that are puzzle pieced or laced together with the strap?
i just got a Snugpak Softie 9 Hawk
>>2866915this, i used a sling bag for like 10 years as my day to day bag, but it was shifting around a lot on my body when doing activities and if i filled it up with heavier stuff it would put way too much pressure on just one shoulder instead of distributing it across both
if i see people with sling bags i know automatically that they're posers
>>2866947fuck thats cool. i never thought about going innajungle to buy some cheap but quality handmade kit. gotta go travel the 3rd world to find some
I have this Decathlon fishing sling bag, but wouldn't use it for a day hike. It good for the city or when you need minimal equipment but for a hike a normal backpack is better.
I wanted to say that slingbags look retarded, but you guys have actually some cool looking ones... and then you came >>2868025that one... is not it.
>>2866911I use those little drawstring knapsacks they give away at trade shows. It turns out that those are really good for bringing snacks, first aid kit, and sunscreen for the kiddos. Rain jacket for the spouse too, because Lord knows she won't bring hers.
>>2868065Nobody cares how it looks, you don't go to a fashion show. The only thing that matter is the usefulness.
i have this one and love it. it's by far the most used ultralight soft good i own, though my tufa rock climbing chalk bag and my ultralitesacks trail wallet are strong contenders for #2 and #3. i think it's a good idea to have a small collection of really high quality bags; i just repurposed a large ditty bag out from storing spare things, to being a dedicated container for climbing shoeshttps://www.garagegrowngear.com/collections/napacks/products/ultralight-sling-bag-by-napacks
These are all gay and you guys look like fags.
>>2866947>its basedYou can't just call your own bag based. It needs to come from some other Anon.But you're correct. It's based.
They seem worse than a regular backpack in every respect. The only use case I see is if you need to frequently rotate your bag in the front to access its content.
