i know this wasnt the question, but i sure love the simplicity of a cat quiver- the arrows are quite AND dry.tons of space- one less thing to remember( as we get older!!)

Haversack, hands down. I sell the Asbell Haversack on my site, but I use several. Canvas ones are nice if you spend any time small game hunting in thorns.

I "discovered" the haversack when I was in the Army. I hated the issue "butt pack" until I put a medic bag strap on it and carried it as a haversack. For me it's about having access to my stuff.

I lean towards the fanny pack because it stays out of the way but there are times when I grab the haversack like when I'm not going to do a lot of walking.

I use both depending on what the situation calls for.  I will use my haversack if I am taking my stand or groundblind in.  This way I can strap my extra clothes onto the stand or blind.  If I am going to a stand or blind that is already set up I will use my waistpack so that I can strap my extra clothes to it.  Both of mine are made by Bison Gear and they are a great company to deal with.

I have the problem with the fanny pack staying up.  I have never tried a Haversack, but would like to.

I have a haversack with zippered side pockets and three inner pockets.  It allows me to keep the gear organized.  I don't know if I would like it with a back quiver.  I have gone to a bow quiver so that my back is free for haversack and groundblind seat or treestand.

Now I wish I had spent some more time at the Asbell booth when I was at the Kalamazoo Expo. Maybe I'll be able to make it down there again this year.

I tried the fanny pack off of my Blue Widow. It works, but I have to move it to the side a bit, so I'm thinking that a fanny pack big enough to carry what I need might not work too well.

I also tried moving it to the front. That works fairly well. Not sure how a bigger fanny pack will work. Might have to go to Sportsmans Warehouse and try some larger ones. Will just have to make sure no one is watching me put on a fanny pack the wrong way!

It's looking like a haversack might just be the way to go, or maybe a chest pack. We'll see.....

I've used a old military surplus butt pack modified by adding a shoulder strap for many years now. I like it much better than a fanny pack. I've been eye-balling the Asbell pack, just haven't let go of the money yet.

Asbell haversack works great for me.  

I've used both but I prefer the fanny pack with detachable shoulder straps...its more organized and more versatile..It stays in place much better than my GFA haversack. If I decide to hunt really light then I can take the shoulder straps off the fanny pack. When its cold out and I want to stay out all day, I can really load up the fanny pack and even tie an extra jacket to it as well as a small 3 legged stool should i decide to sit and post for a while.  

The Haversack found new life with me as a replacement for my old possibles bag when I take out the TC .50 cal sidelock for the late muzzleloader season..

I have a Filson canvas bag as well as an Asbell haversack. I like both of them, because I can carry extra stuff to the stand. However, for the basics such as camo gloves, facemask, cough drops (which I absolutely can't hunt without), extra tab, I use the pockets of my pants and hunting vest.

The Kifaru Scout has worked well for me.

wife got me one from old crow its all leather and nice.

Started with a fanny pack and did like it, but mine always start moving around and I found I was frankly carrying too much gear with me for a fanny pack to be viable without shoulder straps.  Got an Asbell haversack and really enjoyed it (however, for this entire season I used an Eberlestock Mini-me and absolutely love it; incredibly versatile pack that isn't gigantic).

If you use a haversack and dislike it when you can't find things quickly, I suggest trying something like the Grid-It by Cocoon.  I've used one of these with my Asbell haversack and it works great for keeping items organized.

Also, for carrying water, I use a Platypus Plus Bottle (basically a collapsible bottle with a 'sport cap' on it that holds a liter) -- squeeze the air out of it before sealing it up (same idea as the hydration packs) and it won't slosh around and make a lot of noise when walking like regular, stiff plastic/metal water bottles do.

I checked out Grid-it. Has possibilities. Thanks for the tip.

can someone post a pic of the bisongear haversack, can't find one on their site...

Green Arrow, Go on their site and click on store and you will see one.

got it, thanks JV.  that thing looks huge to me.  nice though!
