How are people toting their rangefinders? Haven’t found a happy solution yet, want it easy to get at but not snagging on stuff.
I use a bino harness, but not a bino pack. I’m thinking of getting a pouch made to go on my pack waist belt, but secure. One that came with the Rf comes off too easy - how I haven’t lost it already is a matter of good luck more than anything!
So, how do you do it?!
In my head...one less item to carry
hardly ever carry it but when i do is around my neck and tucked down the front of my shirt
In my bino bivvy

my rangefinder is taller than me and way too heavy ......no way im carrying that fat bastard
As to the pouch falling off, could always slip the lanyard (assuming yours has one) over waist strap as a back up, your going to notice it bashing your kneecaps. Usually have mine in day pack. If i need rangefinder its going to be more than 200m theory being that you will have time to set up a longer distance shot where you need the rangefinder
In my binos in my kuiu harness. Best system i’ve ever had.
Bino rangefinder now but used to be around the neck tucked into breast pocket
Rangefinder in breast pocket on one side, phone in breast pocket on the other. Both have lanyards.
Do not... ever... forget to put the lanyard around your neck. It’s an $800 mistake.

I've got a Hunters Element bino bag as well as the range finder pouch and clipped them together. Other side I have added my plb. Can remove if not needed, works well.
Before I had my rangefinding binos, my old range finder lived in a small front pocket on my alaska guide creations bino harness.

Just adapted a cheap pouch to fit on rifle sling.
This is what i have been using also ,even bush hunting my range finder and binos are right there if needed.Quote:

On my belt in a twin needle ammo pouch. Take one of the ammo cards out and fits a treat, other ammo card gives some padding.
range finding binos are my answer
Otherwise just purchase an aftermarket rangefinder pouch to attach to your harness.
Kuiu has options for this
And to put the phone on silent.Quote:

On my belt in a pouch. Nice and handy. But to be fair it spends most of its time left at home. I find it simpler just to walk closer :thumbsup:
