I have a chest pack but don't use it. I have a vest that I generally use. But I have all those essential tools like tippet, floatant, nipper, clip to hold small flies while changing tippet hanging outside the vest so they are in quick access. Then there is all that other stuff I have. My vest I bet weights 20 lbs. But I regret it if I don't have all my "stuff" cause there is something in there that I never thing to use until I don't have the vest. Then I am saying "dag nabbit"
If I am hiking a ways to fish then I pare it all down to some very basic essentials such as water, a compass and fire starter stuff and a box of flies and my fishing multitool. Whatever else I can put in the day pack which is mostly taken up with waders and boots and a light rain jacket. Maybe a sandwich.
