Tips for using your Wild River® tackle bag:

• Organize your tackle by using the compartments and pockets in your tackle bag to keep your fishing gear well-organized. 
• Place lures, hooks, baits, and other essentials in their designated spaces in your tackle bag. 
• Keep It lightweight and don't overpack your tackle bag with unnecessary items. Bring only the gear you'll need for your fishing trip to keep the bag lightweight and easy to carry. 
• Secure your bag by ensuring that zippers and closures are properly fastened to prevent accidental spills or loss of your fishing tackle.

Tips for using your Wild River® Backpack:

• Distribute the weight evenly within your backpack to maintain balance and reduce strain on your back. Heavier items should be placed closer to your back. 
• Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The hip belt should bear most of the weight. 
• If you expect rain or wet conditions, use a rain cover or pack your gear in waterproof bags or liners to protect your belongings. 
• Place frequently used items in accessible pockets and compartments. Keep items like water bottles, snacks, and a map within easy reach.
• Regularly inspect and clean your backpack to ensure it remains in good condition. Repair any damaged zippers or straps promptly.
• Leave no trace when using your outdoor backpack. Dispose of trash properly and follow Leave No Trace principles to minimize your impact on the environment.
