Chest packs have been with us for a good long time They first made a mark in fly fishing, and then onto general wade fishing and eventually hunting. But until now, there hasn’t been a svelte and utilitarian chest pack designed specifically for turkey hunting. Thunderchickens beware, because Blocker Outdoors built the mobile toolbox and calls it the Finisher Chest Pack.
Like the freedom of saddle-hunting has overrun the whitetail woods, running-and-gunning is becoming ever more popular with the mossback crowd. More guys and gals are stalking, settling-in, and moving along to the next field-scape until filling that precious tag. This versus hunkering in a fortified and fully outfitted single position, hoping and praying.
According to Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director Steve Allie, “Agile, lone wolf hunting necessitates a minimalist approach.” That means operating fully self-contained, and the Finisher Chest Pack fits perfectly into that program.
“There hasn’t been an option for turkey hunters like this before,” said Allie. “Literally, all the necessary field gear fits and can be easily accessed.” ‘Fitting’ means inside and outside, too. “Hunters will appreciate all the thoughtfully considered storage areas.”
Externally, a generous selection of stretch woven exterior pockets accommodate mouth calls, pot calls, and strikers. Added side pockets accommodate even more on-the-go gear. Finally, there’s a dedicated box call pocket with shock cord closure system to keep the call in place.
The Finisher Chest Pack’s universal, zippered top-loader pocket is large enough to accommodate most binoculars. And once inside, you’ll find an easy access stretch mesh pocket and shot shell slots.
Allie chimed in with another usage option that, to be honest, was discovered by a field tester. “A Thermacell Portable Mosquito Repeller fits right in the box call slot. If you’ve ever hunted mosquito infested woods, this might end up being your favorite feature.” Fortunately, too, a box call also fits in the universal side pockets.
Equally as noteworthy is the Finisher Chest Pack’s fit. “We really focused on providing the right strap placement and adjustment points, so the pack will hug your chest without getting floppy and sinking too low.” Between the adjustable shoulder and chest supports, finding the perfect fit is easily achievable.
