...I was talking about your pants zipper... and alluding to your "other" gun.
You need some more coffee big fella!
I can see Chad now in the middle of Glen Burnie...in his front yard. At least his U trou gots no zipper. Will make the yanking exercises go quicker. Quieter too.

Just finished it. The humidity has gotten this fat guy all disoriented this morning.
No humidity here in the mountains.
Cmon down some time. Great chow. Plenty scenery. Nice WX at 3700 ft. Fall is spectacular. Bring Chad or the wife...whomever complains less about zipper issues.

I've got an Alaska Guide Creations binocular chest harness/pouch that holds a G19 fairly well. http://www.blackovis.com/brands/alaska-guide-creations

I'd think one would practice the draw a few times. Isn't that reasonable? I'd want to make sure it actually ripped open when I pulled, for starters, and make sure I could get at it with whatever else I was wearing/carrying.
The only thing I carry in the chest rig are my bigger revolvers, under a winter coat. Definitely not a quick draw, just a way to keep it out of the elements until needed. The purpose of this deal seemed to be protection from humans, and the video showed rapid deployment.
I get it. Some people go to extremes. I mean a zipper is just a zipper.

I was really just curious as to how it works (If it was carried unzipped and you "ripped" the Velcro to draw). When you guys explained it I was wondering how the zipper held up.
Thanks for the info,
I've had cheap fanny packs that have held up. Drawing from a zippered thing doesn't always have to be violent. Not everything is meant to be lightning fast. Certainly a pack on your chest isn't.

+1 I thought the point of the thread was that a chest carry rig was more comfortable and offered better access than a shoulder or hip holster when carrying a heavy backpack.
Some of our posters seem to think they need to go almost full battle rattle for bopping down the A.T. Or maybe Grizzlies are like the Spanish Inquisition and show up when you least expect them, especially along the A.T.
This thread is getting as silly as that 9 vs 40

Hence my follow up question to the operating operator yanking it open in the video.
I sometimes use laptop bag with a similar compartment for off-body carry on one particular jobsite. I consider it deep concealment.

I just had a question as to how it worked, and after viewing the video link I was wondering how long it would last if the zippers were ripped or "yanked" repeatedly in the fashion shown in the video. I didn't ask if it came in mall-ninja camouflage or anything.
Grizzlies can surprise you, especially in thick brush (huckleberries) or near running water. I guess it's more a case of us surprising them, but causes quite a pucker every time. I wouldn't want to go up against one with a handgun, and do everything I can to avoid them in the backcountry (well, everything short of limiting my hikes to the AT).
I was just wondering how the referenced gear held up if treated as shown in the video.
I used to hike with a S&W 45 Colt Mountain Gun across my chest. After seeing some videos of how fast bear attacks to happen, I am considering carrying my Rossi 92 16 inch 44 mag in my hand. Maybe it is overkill, but as I get older, I get slower.
When much younger, I had an Alaska Brown come to eat salmon where I was fishing. I got away quiet and fast and the rod is still probably still up there. My then S&W M29 didn't even get a thought. I don' t want to have that experience as an old arthritic.

I watched a two year old griz* running on rotten snow once. It was 4th of July in Montana. This snow was so bad I would sink in up to my crotch about every third step. He was running and having fun, didn't seem to be really trying too hard, but running faster than I could have on dry land. I don't think I'd have time for more than one shot as he covered my effective pistol range, even if I was drawing a bead as he approached. Wouldn't want to find out.
*Ranger's guess based on track I traced and bears he knew to be in the area.

Did I address you by name? No, your not the only poster that seems to have gone a little "gear queer" in this thread.
Now, Grizzly Adams, as for protection in big bear country then I would be packing a shotgun or carbine in 45/70 or 444 Marlin and only rely on pistol just in case a bear gets between me and my long gun. I also always recommend people using the snow hatch to check around outside first if they have seen some fresh markings around the telecom shelters. Guys have been surprised walking out the door after working inside a hut for a few hours.
Now, if anybody ever sees a lower 48 Grizzly on the Appalachian Trail or even east of the Mississippi then I hope that it is you and you'll post it on MDS first. I just want you to be special.
God gave the bears natural snow shoes, why didn't you pack your man made ones?

I hadn't planned on going that high that early in he season. We were in Glacier and looking for a place to go. The ranger said that area wasn't open yet, he planned to go in later in the week and check it out. We convinced him that we could be trusted to check it out and report back to him at the end of the week.
He was pretty sure it would be clear up to the campsite. Wasn't off by far, the last mile or so was rotten snow. Never did find the pit-toilet that was supposed to be up there. The day we saw the griz we were hiking on the ridge above. Watched him run down to where the tent was, but luckily saw him come back out and head down the next drainage before dusk.
