I'm with Tonyuk (post 2 ). I feel that the pouches in the links are too limited in their application and lack flexibility in use.
Yes, I am after them for a pretty specific usecase. I've tried using small dry bags inside belt pouches, and access is just a whole load of faff.
I've come to the conclusion that a waterproof dry-bag inside a pouch is the best solution. I have noticed from youe recent (very interesting posts ) that you are going down the belt kit route. I have been trying to do this for years since before reading Cody Lundin's take on waist packs. I use a old 1litre size pouch I picked up in a mountain equipment shop many years ago and line it with an Exped dry bag. Only those things needing to be kept dry go in the inner bag, leaving space for other odds and ends such as keys to go in the pouch too. Then I don't have to unroll the pouch every time I need something. My belt is really a Macpac Module of about 7 lts. Inside is my bits and bobs in a larger exped bag, 'phone in a roll up plastic cover and FAK in another exped. Other loose kit is clipped to a carabiner inside this pouch readily accessible from the large top zipper. The belt section has navigation pouch, waterbottle in a pouch and room for any other bit eg knife or bino pouch threaded on.
I am flattered. You seem to have confused me with Suzanne Williams. I'm happy for that, she might not appreciate it as much tho
Having said all this, I am currently experimenting going back to a small backpack into which the above mentioned dry bags go. This goes complete into my large pack on trek.
PS I'm enjoying your videos and learning a lot as my Pyrennean patch has much in common with your mountains. My wife is envious of your Loden coat. She has a big formal one which she loves and likes the look of yours for travelling.
Yeah, Suzanne's video's are rather good aren't they. One day when I can afford a laptop capable of doing video editing, I might have a go. My DSLR is capable of producing decent video. Alas my laptop is currently struggling to allow me to post to the forum due to having 90+ tabs open in chrome, if I try to do some video editing, that may will make it catch fire...
I have been investigating the idea of a belt pack for day hikes and for cycling, primarily to carry my camera. Alas, when you stick a 1kg camera, plus 1kg of water, plus lunch in a belt pack, it tends to fall down... I am pondering seeing if I can retro fit my PLCE daysack yoke to my camera belt pack (Lowe pro inverse 100AW).
