for the MOLLE portion, once you find a solid spot for your pouches, you will want to weave it between both the pouch and the vest rather than just the vest. By doing it that way, the pouch is more secure and less prone to wobbling around. Love the vest and wish I saw this when I was in the market. Settled on the Alps Outdoorz and its been great so far.
Great review, great product! My son-in-law (who I hunt with) got the all-in-bundle last fall and loves it. Between seeing his in action, and your video, I’m now all set as well. Indeed, my all-in- bundle just arrived.
I can't believe that I actually owned a piece of equipment before Mr. Spomer. Its everything he says it is, and it come in green too for doves, ducks and turkey.
Just got mine in the mail! I'm beyond excited for this season! Ron what a great review! Thanks for sharing! Chief Upland is a small show as Ron noted, but Jake is a great guy to deal with. Have some patience, I believe they are quite back ordered!
Great review. So that is being held together by just a zipper at the top? Seem to me that when th pack is fully loaded the zipper will fail pretty fast?
Been researching vests and this one is on my radar. Can you tell me if a box of shells will fit into either of those pockets without pulling them out of the box? Id like to keep one box in each for balance. Also curious if that vest works well in the warmer weather or gets too hot. Im in west texas and will be doing some upland hunting in the coming year. Our year old chocolate lab finishes his pro training tomorrow and we get him back. Getting excited for the upcoming bird seasons!!
Our Waterproof Ammo Box is designed for exactly that. It fits full box of shells including the cardboard box. Our Quick Grab Ammo Pouch also fits more than a box of shells, just not in the cardboard box itself. Thanks for your interest!
@@b.c.gamingss I don't know about the 500 inches. Probably, but most is on the back. Not much on front. No plastic bag sound though. Quite comfortable and quiet while walking.
Nice review but pricey. I started with one from Mothers some 15 years ago and still have it but it's orange has faded. I picked up the camelback upland hydration vest and used it 90% of the time for the past 8 years. With the bottom of the front pockets all shredded and zippers broken, I finally replaced it with the Tenzing BV16. Of the three, I like the Tenzing the most. While the Tenzing has a compartment for the water bladder, there's no water bottle pouch - which I think is a BIG MISS!
Brock, I'm not sure if a spud is derogatory or complimentary, but as Popeye always said (this is going back to the mid-20th century, so might miss your headlights) "I yam what I yam."
Bismuth (non-toxic shot) by law in many parts of SD (pretty much all State and Federal owned hunting lands.) I Just use it or steel everywhere to keep things simple. Those Kent loads have been working well.
@@RonSpomerOutdoors thanx Ron! Here in europe law is going to forbid the use of lead starting from 2023. The fact is that bismuth cartridges are very, very expensive. I hope that steel is going to be lethal enough. Greetings from Italy
I'm curious with all the gear and bird, how much extra weight.. approximately? Love the podcast great content. From Northeastern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 God bless..🇺🇸 Oh.. l for got lm interested in selling my bolt action 300 Savage short mag, and get myself a 7mm Rem mag like the timberland. What would you suggest?
Base weight of vest 2.6 pounds. Figure 2.75# per rooster pheasant. Pockets are perhaps 4 ounces each average. Of course, 100 shells adds ore than I want to carry, but 30 to 50 wouldn't be uncalled for on some of my all-day jaunts in mixed bag country. This is part of the reason I often shoot 28 gauge instead of 20.

Excellent point! Properly weaving the pouch straps is a must.

Appreciate you!
Great review Ron. It's good to see my home state of South Dakota get some love on RUclips. I'll be picking one of these up for quail and chukars.
I can't believe that I actually owned a piece of equipment before Mr. Spomer. Its everything he says it is, and it come in green too for doves, ducks and turkey.
Only thing missing for turkey would be a padded, fold down seat.
Can I ask what u paid for it sir?
It's not cheap. But it will last you a lifetime. $206.97, I added a one quick open shell holder and the rather nifty gun holder.@@jakepiemme9600

I watch because Ron is the truth.
Can’t wait for you to do that video on that 6.5 x 280 Ak. improved what a oddball cartridge but it looked pretty nice
Looks quite well thought out! I say this as a german.
i would like your thoughts on the new KUIU upland vest.
Great review. So that is being held together by just a zipper at the top? Seem to me that when th pack is fully loaded the zipper will fail pretty fast?
Nice looking vest.
do you think this vest is large enough for a coyote that a person might want to pack out if the fur was worth anything.
Absolutely. It will carry turkeys, and can also carry dogs (for example if they are injured.)
Good looking pack!
Great review!!

I’m surprised how many people don’t know how to properly install a Molle system. He’s also doing it wrong.
I’d love to have one without the orange. Be a great turkey hunting vest as well.
Jack, turns out Chief Upland offers a non-orange version!
@@RonSpomerOutdoors Thanks Ron... I’ll definitely look into it.
@@RonSpomerOutdoors Does this vest have the 500 square inch of hunter orange? And does it sound like a trash bag while walking?
@@b.c.gamingss I don't know about the 500 inches. Probably, but most is on the back. Not much on front. No plastic bag sound though. Quite comfortable and quiet while walking.
looks like quality! but I do like my old Härkila backpack. Not so many pockets to lose things
I can invite him to dinner 😂 brilliant.

Mr spomer what kind of rifle is that you have in the beginning? I really liked it
That is a Holland Custom on a M700 long action chambered 6.5-280 AI. Sub-MOA all day. Google Hollandgunsmithing.
Interesting vest, great review.
I guess it is quite off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Jett Landon Lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Jayceon Santana Yea, been using flixzone for since march myself :)
@Jayceon Santana Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !!
@Jett Landon happy to help :)
First time I saw ya Ron, I thought you were a major league spud .... but yer actually pretty funny. Kinda like the Bill Dance of the hunt world.
Brock, I'm not sure if a spud is derogatory or complimentary, but as Popeye always said (this is going back to the mid-20th century, so might miss your headlights) "I yam what I yam."
@@RonSpomerOutdoors Complimentary my good man ... headlights are xenon and aligned.
Where is this vest made?
Very nice vest!!!
I've got a question: have you got to use bismuth cartridges by law or is it your choice?
Bismuth (non-toxic shot) by law in many parts of SD (pretty much all State and Federal owned hunting lands.) I Just use it or steel everywhere to keep things simple. Those Kent loads have been working well.
@@RonSpomerOutdoors thanx Ron! Here in europe law is going to forbid the use of lead starting from 2023. The fact is that bismuth cartridges are very, very expensive. I hope that steel is going to be lethal enough.

@@marcorizzato7180 I've found steel shot deadly on upland birds since 1980.
@@RonSpomerOutdoors 👍
The problem with steel is classic shotguns can't use it, steel destroys the older barrels.
But Ron! Tell us more about that shotgun!
