hey folks ike with eastmans hunting today we're going to talk about gear but not only just
gear but a specific piece of gear that i use in the field every single hunt
that's a bino harness today we're going to do a gear review on eberlestock's bino
harness the recon and if you sign up for taghub you'll get this free now i'm going to tell you
why you want it eberlestock is known for building backpacks the best backpacks on the planet i feel
also they're known for modularity you probably probably watched my gear review on the mainframe
that's a backpack that has lots of modularity to it this is their version of bino harness
it's also modular you have all kinds of adapters and things to put on and around
this bino harness as you can see i have bear spray i have a pouch that has my gps
a call in it i have a lower pouch that has like you can put a wind checker i have a flashlight
in there just the things that you want to make sure you have even when you drop your pack for
that last 200 yard stalk you still have everything you need one of the things that i've always found
really dangerous especially like we're here in bear country you drop your backpack and you have
that last 200 yard stalk where's your bear spray on your backpack where's your pistol on your hip
and your or on your backpack hip all of that stuff that safety equipment flashlights all that stuff
is with your backpack if things go sideways and i've had this happen where you kill a bull and all
the excitement happens and you run over to the bull and you're standing there with a dead elk
no bear spray no pistol and that thing's 500 yards away from you this is modular it allows you to put
it right on your chest you never take it off if you're into this they have a hand warmer so you
can put this on the bottom and you're glassing on a ridge like this and it's cold you can put
your hands in there and then glass put your hands in there and glass you don't have to
have big puffy gloves you're taking on and off it has a rangefinder pouch so this obviously
is a magnetic pouch rangefinder in there has a drawstring so you can just drop it if you need to
the other thing it has this molle webbing so it goes on the bottom and you can just molly anything
anything that has molly on it you can molly this to a pistol i've i'm going to probably put my
pistol under here i'm kind of learning what i like and what you know my little system for different
hunts but you could put your pistol here you could put whatever so as you guys know molly webbing has
been used for a long time on just making things modular the military's been using it for decades
this thing has molly webbing on both sides so you can take this pocket off very easily
you can take this pouch off and you can put say a bear spray on it or you can put another
pouch on it or you can put a pistol you know a holster that has the ability to molly it's just
really really modular both sides you can adjust it change it but it's compact so it's not real bulky
like you would think you know if you have all this stuff on you can still shoot i still archery shoot
when i when i shoot my bow i put the bear spray on this side just because it does it's a little
tall but most of the time it's right compact hunting with it stalking with it isn't a problem
even with the molle in the field you can drop things and change the modularity and what you need
and when you need it depending on the hunt you're in not only is this recon really modular but
they've done some really cool design things number one you ever put you ever put a bino harness on
and then you have to tighten you have to pull your arms this way well you can only go so far
well the recon you tighten up by pulling it forward so it gets it perfectly snug and you
can adjust it as you add and drop layers you can adjust it and still tighten it up it's not a big
pain in the butt the other thing in eberlestock fashion they built the harness the part that goes
on your shoulders in your back perfectly it is really comfortable for a real heavy i mean i got
i got range finding binos in here bear spray a whole bunch of stuff and i don't even hardly know
that it's on because the harness fits perfectly just like one of their backpacks plus it's built
to not be really wide and cumbersome here where your backpack strap sits it's actually built to
be worn with a backpack it's design modularity but it's designed on purpose so they built this
this bino harness number one so that it's really quiet you can see the closure is magnetic so that
you don't have zippers or velcro or any of that stuff it closes it's secure so you don't
your stuff's not dropping out of it when you lean down but it's secure the fabric is not as
is uh like it's not like cordura where it's really really loud it's a quiet fabric the zippers are
obviously little zippers so they're not real big loud zippers you can get in and out of it and stuff
now one of the neat things is how they did their strap system this isn't like clips or anything
it's really really fast it's easy and it seems to be unbelievably secure once you get it on there it
won't come off it doesn't move so this thing comes in three different colors it comes in this green
a gray and a like a coyote brown so it has three different colors to fit whatever need you're in
if it's you know a high alpine like this or if it's on the low planes antelope hunting
so not only does this come in three different colors it also comes in two different sizes
as you can see i have rangefinding binos these are pretty compact this is the smaller version
if you're into like the 10 by 42s the bigger the bigger binos they have one that's a little
bit taller and a little bit wider but it's mostly taller so that it closes uh those bigger binos so
