I love it. Also allows one to ride a bike while schlepping a scope as well. And, you can still switch to carrying your scope/tripod over a shoulder with no changes. I leave the backpack attached all the time. Additionally, if you keep a bird book in the backpack’s pocket, it acts as a weight to keep the scope from shaking on windy days. > Good Luck, > Liz Lackey > Stowe, VT > > Begin forwarded message: > >> From: Martha McClintock <[log in to unmask]> >> Subject: [VTBIRD] Suggestions, please, for gear >> Date: December 12, 2013 at 8:17:36 PM EST >> To: [log in to unmask] >> Reply-To: Vermont Birds <[log in to unmask]> >> >> Hello and I apologize in advance for this post.
