Yes, the 511 IS cheaper. If you look around you can probably find it for half the price of a Fatboy!

Oh and Yeah, Krispy Creams are good ANY TIME!

I'll do some looking for one soon. I've got my Maratac satchel, but it's just too much for what I'm looking for.

If you can find my post I put up when I got my 511 bag, you can probably get an idea of it's size by the picture. I have a Swamp Warden velcroed to the top flap.

I'll look for it in a bit.

Is the 511 pack made for right or left hand carry? Or can you carry it either way?

the 511 can be carried on either side. Here is a link to it so you can get an idea(hopefully) of the size.

Hope that helps you out some.

If I was to put the Swamp Warden on the top flap like I have on the 511 JUST the sheath would probably the entire width of the flap.

Evening Dogs!

Evening MB! How goes it?

OK, here ya go.



OK, predominately a FAK, but I also have some other stuff in it and there is still room. The main pouch still has room (big enough for 3 canned sodas side by side and one laying across the top). So I still have some room to add more "Stuff" Here is the bag, a 511 Push Pack in Dark Earth tone.




I guess I should call it a BOB Lite! If I am home it is too. If I am in one of our vehicles, it is too. It is an augmentation to the regular BOB that is still a continuing work in progress. One Day I will be pretty Satisfied with the BOB I am gradually working on for Myself and a smaller one for Patty.

In this BOB Lite I have the standard FAK items and some "Other stuff" as well.

You can see on the top left, a 3 led (2 white and 1 red) cap bill light and a Smiths diamond sharpening rod. Then the black 25oz water bottle and the whistle. The Swamp Warden is velcroed to the flap and a 3 power level ITI (plus strobe) 1aa flashlight on the right side of the bag on the outside of that zippered pouch.
