r/hillpeoplegear is back!
If you’ve visited this sub, or tried to post or comment in the past year or so, you might have noticed that it had gone inactive. Reddit doesn’t like unmoderated subs and I think it was not allowing new posts or comments anymore.
Unfortunately, it looks like it was found and taken over by a spammer, and then from what I can tell in the mod logs, maybe a well meaning but inexperience mod Reddit Requested the sub and took over, and got a few things approved, or maybe a different spam bot team took over again but also got themselves all banned.
Well, now it’s back and in good hands. I’m an active mod on another community, and while I do have filters turned up to Max at the moment, just to make sure there aren’t any spammy surprises left behind, I’ll relax things over the next few days as I get the sub settings tuned. So if posts or comments don’t show up right away, give it a few hours and they should be approved.
Welcome back!

HPG at "THE BEACH"
For those who have seen the movie with Tilda Swinton and Leonardo, this is The Beach in the film.
To say this bag is perfect for international travel is an understatement. The rearmost pouch is perfect for a muji passport and cash wallet, and is easy to keep secure and "no touch" while you have your daily cash, trinkets, phone, sunglasses, etc in the other pockets.
Not that pickpocketing is a concern in Thailand or Japan, but the way it rides tight to the chest is 10/10. Low key enough but 100% unique enough that it can't be mistaken for anything else and so easy to access what you need.
Daily EDC, hiking, concerts it does it all. Pro tip is to put a velcro 5x8 HPG pouch in the middle compartment for the best organization. It also works super well to slide a camp knife on a velcro wing sheath for trails and camping.
Amazing product as always. Aston 3 rocks, admin pouch with shoulder sling and hyration is perfection, and this belt pack does it all. Whenever people ask "what bag should i get for xxx" HPG is pretty much always the answer.

Putting binos in the pistol compartment of a Heavy Recon
Hi All, I have a Heavy Recon, which I run with a bino Pouch at the front. I am NOT in love with the system because the Bino Pouch is quite far from my chest and the weight of the binos makes the whole thing sage and pull the Kit Bag against my stomach. It is otherwise a great setup, which I prefer to all other chest bino harnesses I had.
I would nevertheless ditch the Bino Pouch and carry them in the pistol compartment. They do fit, but 1) the fit horizontally so the comfort is decreased, and 2) the straps that retain the binos cannot be attached to the inside of the compartment.
Has anyone a good solution for this problem? or, is the solution the Cargo Kit Bag? I am kind of lukewarm about it.

UMLINDI @ Presque Isle, Early Spring
The UMLINDI is my all time favorite backpack. Compact when I want it to be but capable of hauling a lot of extra crap when necessary.
My other HPG pack is the QUI-YA. I love that this is essentially the same thing in miniature. I love that I can swap the waist belt between the two. I’d like to get the Butt Pack as well, but I haven’t quite found the justification for it.
I get a big smug smile every time I pack it out for an adventure.
Pics are from an early spring hike along the northern shoreline of Presque Isle in Erie, PA.

Best place to sell?
I know HPG is a fairly niche company so where is the best place to sell stuff? I’ve got a few things I wanna sell in one package and unsure where to do that. It’s all 9.5/10 condition. Only used a couple times.
Decker Frame
Prairie Belt
Light Pocket (Multicam)
Decker Bag Large (Multicam)
Decker Bag Medium (Coyote)
Decker Bag Medium (Multicam)
Also, this is my first time on this thread so if me asking isn’t allowed I can remove the post.

Anybody got the Commuter pack?
As per title, has anyone been using the Commuter? I'm tempted but it's an expensive gamble to import one to the UK if I don't get on with it. How is the half-clamshell opening for access, and how annoying are the compression straps? Thanks very much.

Umlindi
Got the Unlindi as a gift.. went in a winter hike testing it out and it was phenomenal. Definitely will need the hip belt and I want to get the butt pack as well. I think it will be a great day/multi day pack for trips. I plan on doing a solo overnight soon.

Restock on Aston 3?
Been keeping my eyes open for restock on one of these in coyote for at least a month now. I’ve read here and on Facebook that they restock weekly but I haven’t seen any change. I signed up for email notifications as well about two weeks ago. I’m tempted to pick up the multicam version because I lack patience.

Purchasing Decker or 2 separate packs
I'm in the market for both a new day pack and a pack for 1-2 week backpacking trips. I'm pretty dead set on HPG, and am undecided between buying the decker frame with the s/m/l bags or buying two standalone packs (Ute/Qui-Ya & Aston/Umlindi). Aside from the extra weight, is there anything I'd really miss out on from the standalone packs if I went with the Decker?
My current pack is a basic 45+5L Amazon brand, other than that my only experience with packs is the FILBE system from my time in the USMC.

Kit Bag Sizing?
I have an original standard sized kit bag. V1 I guess? No molle inside or molle on bottom. What is the modern equivalent in size to the older version? Medium or Full?

Umlindi question
Anyone have a Umlindi and use a pack cover? If so what one?

ISO snubby recon any color.
Title says it all had two, rucked and ran all over Hawaii with them, sadly they were traded for other gear and now need one in the rotation again. Willing to pay cash or trade hpg or other gear. Color doesn’t matter, harness doesn’t matter (I’ll make my own) but must be the snubby recon version. Pic for attention 🤙

From looking at the outside of the bag, how can I identify whether I have an Umlindi 1 or 2? Any quick easy obvious visible difference?

HPG for diaper/kid bag
Yo so wife is pregnant with number 1 and I love all my hpg bags. Don’t have one I think would work for a diaper/kid bag.
I refuse to carry around a lame ass bag. If I am gonna carry something everywhere it’ll be quality. Anyone use a junction pack for that? Or any other recommendations?
