What's up guys,
I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good fly wallet. A certain style or brand you own? Crushing hackles is the only downside I see; I like to walk and bike around streams and the boxes and vests just weigh me down too much and feel clumsy.
Speaking of light weight gear, anyone ever use or know of light breathable waders that are simply pants that end at the waist, and don't have shoulder straps?
Along the same line of questioning, any fellow hikers out there who have refined a no vest approach to carrying equipment. I am thinking a shirt with some good pockets and a minimalist approach: forceps, tippet, fly wallet, floatant, and uhhh.....split shot.
For longer hikes, I am not going to be able to get away from a camel back for hydration. At any rate, any thoughts or recommendations about your own light weight gear set-up is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brownout
