[QUOTE=hotbarrels;1174866 My solution and current setup is as follows:
Set your rifle up with a front mount, barrel down sling system, like the good old days when you used to own AR's. This make it super easy to have your rifle slung across your front, your trigger stick tripod in your weak hand, and your thermal handheld in your strong hand.
With the front mount sling, it is super easy to stand the tripod up and place the rifle on the yoke without having to adjust your sling length.
For handheld thermal storage while shooting, I have one of my old (AR) mag dump pouches mounted on my belt on my strong hand side with a piece of sleeping mat foam cut to fit the bottom of the pouch to keep it open like a bucket. Super easy to flip the lens cap closed and drop it into the mag pouch (bucket) rather than trying to fiddle it into or out of its case. Its protected by the foam. Having it on your belt keeps it away from your rifle which is slung across your chest ie a chest bino harness wont work.
It is a very effective method of open ground pest control. In my experience, its not suitable for bush hunting ie don't go down this path if you are looking to use it for possums.[/QUOTE]
I must try your idea, currently I use a chest rig to carry a thermal but do a lot of shooting from a quad. When working with a partner I don't carry a rifle just the thermal, with a lazer pointer fitted I id the target use the lazer to give point of aim and the partner shoots, very effective once you get your teamwork system going.
