The velcro loop at the bottom back is to go around your pants' belt to keep the pack in place so it doesn't slide around on your shoulder.

That kiss and wink was the cherry on top.
🤣. Way to go Mike. Good video btw.

It's a good bag but I think I'd prefer two shoulder straps if going a bit of a walk, I have a rucksack. The PL259 to BNC I'm not sure about, drop that in long grass and it might be the last you see of it.
I want to get out this year, FT817ND, SOTA Beams telescopic mast with wire, earth wire, key, MFJ 16010 tuner I was given as faulty but it was only a loose wire, RG58 with BNC, either near the road by motorbike or a bus or train and walk into the hills. Paper and pen for notes, callsigns etc.
I installed an LED into the MFJ to help with a quick tune up and put in a BNC socket.

I have that exact bag, and use it for walking my property. I also added a side pouch, but for a water bottle.

I also the Red Rock Assault pack, more room for hamming AND hiking.

BTW, I live in a little town called Red Rock, so I have a soft spot in my heart for the company.

Just lately I have 6 pieces of stripped out CAT cable wire to tie my carbon 6 to stuff. Very light and more compact than budgie cords.

[gmanshackshack]

BTW... On the Digirig, don't leave the cables plugged in. The jacks LOVE to snap off the circuit board!

I am so guilty of bringing everything with me and need to do better pairing down. Thanks for showing how to keep it simple, whether it's QRP or QRO.

Your evolve III pc will fit in the rover large model of this bag. It’s about an inch and a half wider. ;)

[CigarsOnTheAir]

You are such a good merchandise model Mike. Maybe missed your calling, hi hi! Cheers and 73!

[sockeatinggolden]

Instead of the computer for digital OPs. What about a RPi headless and your phone?

[Marty]

The bags at this link are now all $40+. Still a good deal.

[michaelpetrou]

Hi mike, can you fit a ic705 in there? VK1MIK

[emoboy]

hey what was that last rolled up yellow antenna? i’m about to dip into HF when i test for my general and i have no clue about what radio to get or antenna to use

[hamradiohef]

But can you do APRS. Just kidding. 😂 Great video! Love the bag!

[ryanktar]

That velcro piece is to go around your belt

[profpositive]

What kind of pouch carries the antenna on the side of the bag? Looking for one…

[loyannmunyan]

Will my mfj 939 auto tuner fit in this bag with my ft891?

[stephenburgess]

Would a camera bag do the same thing with extra padding .

[KOAFL]

great video Mike. looking to have a edc bag for radio so i can activate whenever

[ryankcoza]

I've had one for few years now. I use it for my hamfest bag. Will actually be using it if go to dayton. Are you going?
