Navy Davy digging accessory

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....have you ever forgotten to take extra batteries with you on a dig? Has your digital camera run dry and you have no spares? Saw Navy Davy wearing this one on his belt which is a great idea.

Have carried extra batteries in my digging jacket and had them get very hot from contact with the other batteries in my pocket so now I tape them together so this will not happen........could suffer from instantaneous combustion youz......walking smoked macheral. Lord love a duck.

That is a good idea.Nice neat and looks to be compact enough so it doesn't get in the way.

[del]

great idea Les , and in a compact little package too.

[SpringTxDigger]

That is a good idea. It's better than having them in my pocket. I'll have to see if I can find one of those.

I like it. I have a bulky side pack I take when out in the woods, but it does get in the way. Something like the one you have would be a good replacement.

A cartridge belt with elastic retainers works well also... (just checked it out). RickO

If I carry one more thing, I'm gonna sink into the mud lol But that does look like a great little pack! thumbsup01

Does anyone wear a vest of any kind to carry their stuff with them hunting? Or what does everyone carry their stuff in? Just curious. :confused:

I have to be real nice to my wife and this is what I get lol This is the second one she made for me. I wore out the first one :rolleyes: Next one will have rivets on each stress point. Would love to make and sell these, but after materials and labor, the cost is too high :angry: But I suggest everyone start buttering up the other half for one :grin: You can carry a lot of things in one of these, from extra batteries (mine and a buddies) to snacks, food, knife, GPS, phone, etc... lol They laugh at me, but when their coil mounting screw breaks, guess who has one? ;)

Coinnut looks good. What labor? I thought you said your wife made it? rofl Just think if she made like a 100 of them the labor would come way down. You need to tell her you showed them on the forum and you have an order for a bunch. But seriously it looks good. May have to talk to my wife.

What about everyone else? What do you use?

[Epi-hunter]

I use my pockets. And when Angel is detecting with me, I use his trash pouch rofl It drives him crazy rofl

Great idea Les... nice and compact! And no offense George, but I couldn't wear one of those... too big... nor could I ever make one to save my life lol

Yeah, and by the end of the day I'm leaning sideways. lol

Here is the one I usually use when I head out to the woods. It wraps around my waist, with the bulky side to the back. It really doesn't get in the way, and I don't even feel it, except when I'm carrying two bottles of Gatorade. lol I can carry plenty in there, and I always bring extra batteries, band-aids, mosquito and tick repellent, and snacks.
