When configured as a sling bag, is it easy to get to your gear?

Quite easy. You slip it over to your front, and the side flap is right there.

Yes, it's very easy. Only takes a minute or two and then you can fold up the mattress and get it into its carry bag without effort!

Kind of, it's a belt loop, but it can be rigged to a rucksack with some 550 cord. It's not MOLLE or ALICE by a long shot. Just a simple belt loop.

Lindsey, this is not like a Lowpro slingshot bag where you can pull your camera out in a hurry. For quick access to your camera get a Canon Zoom Pack 1000 (Holster Style) and use the backpack to carry the rest of your gear. Before I got too many lenses, flashes, and accessories, I stored the camera in the Zoom pack, and put that inside the backpack.

It's not as easy as if you were using just a sling it holds my bow really snug I haven't tried a rifle yet but I'm sure it's gonna be pretty rough gettin it out and not being seen

well I opened it dang fast when my squad was ambushed! lol You can get arm(s) out of top head/face opening well enough to grab side arm or rifle. lot a years in army and never got stuck in one,but there's is a amount of muscle memory and time in bag. it's really worth buying these bag's. hope I help a lil ( luck with angry quadriped's)

Ayup, it will work just fine. I bought a tactical rifle that had no sling holds and it worked just fine.

Personally I think this is a perfect product for that! Unlike neck straps that dangle in front of you the Joby Sling Strap can be fastened snugly against the body and rotated towards your back giving you more freedom to move/climb without the worry of knocking your camera/lens against something in front of you. That's assuming your not doing crazy climbs in that case you probably would be better off with some kind of padding. I have the Low Pro Sling Backpack that is great for extra protection & easy/quick camera access.

Yes. There's several places for a QD attachment and a slot on the bottom of the stock that can accommodate a sling.

Well, you should be able to use one from any shoulder sling bag (like a gym bag or similar) I've found nearly any kind, if adjustable can be modified to fit on it.

Yes, once you install the bipod, there are two strips of metal that protrude through the bottom of the mount. These strips of metal have a hole in each so you just run your sling mount through them. No Problem

When I am scrambling, I do use the underarm sling. Otherwise I tuck it in because it is a little uncomfortable. If they used a tubular webbing which is softer it might not cut into your underarm.

Sorry, Judith. I don't have a sling adapter, so I'm not able to answer yes or no to your question.

It will work ok, but it will still be bouncing around as you move. I would recommend the spider holster system either instead, or in addition to the sling for ultimate security.

It's both a sling and a two strap backpack. There is a zipper that runs along the strap that can separate it into two straps for wearing it as a backpack, or just zip it up to make a single strap. It should be noted that the strap when zipped is just long enough to sling over one shoulder and not across the body.

no, this back pack is long and I don't recommend it, are you comfortable with SLINGS?

It can be made into a Sling style strap with the addition of a pair of Optech extension straps, but it will not be a "sliding" sling. For that you would need the Optech "Sling Strap Adapter".
