Looks good for a DS1 sample.
Is your goal ease of carry or discretion?

RBH Pack
- Thread starter RGR275
- Start date
I tried to find balance for both of those as best I could. There's no reason to carry a gun that you can't get to and open carry will just cause unwanted attention. I can get it out quick enough and by the looks of it not a lot of people would really expect a gun to be in a pack like this.
Thanks Ooh-Rah1069, I'm hoping the project starts picking up too!

Nice design. I think you should make a new video where you are talking and demonstrating the RBH pack. Give it a more personal touch by explaining the how and why you came up with the RBH in the first place. I know you explain it in the text but people want to be told why they need to support your product in a video. Just my 2 cents but I think a solid video could make a world of difference in marketing the campaign. Offer some bigger stretch goals too. You never know if someone wants to drop a big chunk a money in your lap because they believe in your product. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice!
Any other ideas for a stretch goal? I was thinking of offering additional colors as a stretch goal
That s really not an option. I will not buy it unless it comes in diff colors and I don't mean diff camo styles. I have wanted a chest rig for years. Colors have held me back. Black is not an option it SCREAMS GUN. It is like a fanny pack....screams gun......yellow, blue, red. Yellow with a pair of ear buds coming out of it, I am a health fanatic riding his bike or running down the road. Black bag says diff.
Bingo. I see too many gear companies making "low profile" gear...and it is more-or-less nothing more than going from multicam to black. Or it has 4 rows of PALS webbing on the outside. Break up the design with some color, a gray reflective strip like one found on running shoes, solid non-military colors...something. Dark gray is alright, but camo, black, and earth tones stick out like a sore thumb when you're surrounded by soccer moms and suburbanites. Light gray pouch and webbing with some yellow and a reflective strip doesn't scream gun...it matches a boatload of runnign shoes. Besides, if you wanted to market this to volunteer SAR groups or hikers as a emergency-type pouch, solid bright yellow or day-glo orange.
It is a great design, but minor tweaks would give it some versatility and change its "presentation" for lack of a better word.
My unsolicited $.02.
Great advice above, and would greatly expand the market for this product.

Anyone have experience with this product from Hill People? I'd like to use with my Shield on long rides (bicycle). Still bitter the product in the OP did not get made!

Who is this Mac and how does one get in touch with him?
Just make a post about how Kiwi's are gay, and can't hold their liquor. In the event more than one shows up, ask for the "Stitch Bitch"

Well I settled with Hill People -
Bought "this" - specifically for biking and hiking - Drives me crazy that I cannot find something of similar quality, but not in a tactical color that screams GUN! I took the advice above from @Freefalling and put reflective tape (yellow and green) thru the loops so it looks more like "Jogger" or fitness dude -
Also sent Mac a P.M. -
On a side note, I am really surprised that REI does not carry something like this - it would seem a natural -
