Unless you’re some sort of “Super Freaky” minimalist, than you’re gonna want a pack.
This is my “Boat Pack” for use during day trips with the power boat, like fishing, crabbing, sightseeing etc. Just big enough to carry a good amount of stuff & not be in the way! Weight is of little concern here since I never need to carry it!
This is my Hunting, Hiking, Archery, Sometimes Fishing pack. It needs to be light. Did you hear me? LIGHT! I carry this all the time so I am very selective on what I take.
