Response Pak show and tell

[forestwalker]

The sun chart was a freebie from a photographic magazine. I'm afraid I've never seen them anywhere else.

There are sun-tables in the end of Harold Gattys "Finding Your Way Without Map or Compass". Copy, laminate and Robert is your mothers brother.

You can also go to http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/AltAz.php and construct your own.

They also turn up in his book "Nature is your guide", which may well be the same book.

I've never seen the other to compare it to.

Well i finally bit the bullet and invested in a Snugpak Responce Pak. I needed something small enough not to be obtrusive and yet carry enough for a walk in the woods and everyone here is to blame

Very impressed with it. It holds a far amount and i do run the risk of cramming it full of useless rubbish.

Thanks folks for this thread and the show and tell.

I belive these are the same book. Or I've been missing out.

I guessed it was but couldn't say for certain.

I've got one of those, and while they're good for the money you do get what you pay for - some of the stitching has failed with very little use.

Oh, and if you do go for those, make sure you replace the noisy zippers with paracord!

 

[Trojan]

I bought one from ebay but did not like the 'rattle' from the zips so sold it on!

Maxpedition look good but v expensive as an alternative!

 

[hiho]

most people have cut the zips off and used paracord instead

 

[halo]

Bump anyone?

why not...

 

[Logit]

oooh go on the, i will go and get the camera!

 

[hiho]

good good, i've taken everything out of mine and shifted its contents about. as i've been using it as my geocaching bag. which doesn't need everything in it...

 

[Logit]

now that's not a bad idea! Get another for geocaching....! hiho, what's your "caching" name? my camera battery is flat, so i will have to take piccies 2morrow night...

 

[hiho]

just added it to the thread. my camera is still attached to the belt, as the pouch doesn't fit over the straps. probably a 3/4 full waterbottle stuck to the other side as well

and i've just noticed i've cracked the case on my camera:twak:

get the pics sorted logit?

Looking back at the picture I put up on this thread way back when the things I carry in my response pak have changed some.

the U-dig-it (with added buckle for security) go's on the left side on the belt and the only bits shown that go in the main pocket are the head torch and the nalgene of brown sauce. I try to keep that empty to take water, snacks or a lightweight rain jacket as required.

Like many, I have bodged a shoulder strap mod by twisting the belt up through the end loops, but the strap is too short. Does anyone have a smart way of converting the pack properly to a shoulder strap of good length ?

Sorry if I missed that earlier in the thread
