Excellent idea! I have been buying tactical bags for my ham gear off of Amazon, and most run anywhere from 10 bucks up to 32 dollars. I don't care about tacticool, other than molle is pretty sweet for lashing things together. I have a Goodwill within a mile of my house...may go check it out tomorrow. 73, Brett K5WXP

Taticool. Love that description. Make sure to get the matching pants, too!

Several years ago, someone made waterproofing spray, in a can. It would waterproof any cloth material. Ie. Tents, tarps, cloths & backpacks. It was sold at Lowes Home Improvement. The downside was that it made the cloth stiff and rigid. I know people have used Scotch Guard, for years, to apply a waterproofing layer.

Lots of good finds. I stop by Habitat Re-Store from time to time to see what I can find.

@chrissewell1608 11 месяцев назад

Try a Good-will or Salvation Army too!

Great tips Dude. 73👍

@lyledal 11 месяцев назад

Hey, Sean. Yep. I think this video is going to be extremely helpful to me. Thanks for the work! 73!

@HAMRADIODUDE 11 месяцев назад

I'm happy to answer more if I can

@chrissewell1608 11 месяцев назад

You can always put small electronics, into waterproof locking lid containers. Used for food storage. Those are much lighter weight and clear. Versus a heavy, Pelican case, which offers padded protection. Even a ziplock bag works to keep stuff dry!

@retevisQA 11 месяцев назад

Cool bags, some bags look like tactical. Would be a great protector for radio stuffs. 👍Like that bag on your thumbnail most.

@TheGeekiestGuy 11 месяцев назад

Some of the tackle bags are super helpful for small components. Most aren't terribly affordable but once in awhile you'll find a wicked deal on a waterproof bag with storage for components. 🤙🏽

Thank You SrA....for your service and this great video. I hadn't even considered going to GoodWill to look for bags. What a great idea! I'd really like to get a small HF radio like the FT-891 so I can do some fun stuff that involves motorcycles and POTA/SOTA/QRP etc, and if I get a bag than I have to get a radio to go in it! Gotta go shoppin.....thanks again!!

@HAMRADIODUDE 4 месяца назад

Oh thanks! that was an old patch. I finished out as SSgt. Just kind of threw it on the bag. I do appreciate the kind gesture. Definitely take a look at some Of those thrift stores and you might get real lucky. Good luck

@twobikesandadrone 4 месяца назад

@@HAMRADIODUDE I remember the days of those patches and hope I can still find one of mine. I retired in 2000 and can't remember exactly when we wore those, but I'm guessing it was the late 80s to early 90s sometime. Anyway, I just went to the closest Goodwill to my home but didn't have any luck this time. Still have lots to learn though, so there's still time to shop around the thrift stores and explore your channel while I figure it all out. 73

,great video Sean! Nice to see what is working for you! This is one of those things few guys talk about! The quest for the perfect bag is about like looking for the perfect HT. I think I have as many bags as I do HTs 😂

good stuff

Primary Arms has tactical backpacks on sale, this week! Like $15 - $25.00

I live on Ziplock bags. I always throw a few into the thin laptop pocket or the water bladder pocket. They are also great for compressing a sweatshirt or something in a pinch or putting the radio into to protect it. I am still on the lookout for a bag to do POTA and SOTA. One of the ones I want and would love to see someone do a review on is that Eberlestock backpack for carrying a rifle. I think that would be awesome for carrying my 12m fiberglass pole. You really hit the nail on the head though with it depends on what you want to do with it. I think it is time that a ham RU-vidr create the perfect POTA/SOTA bag. Kickstarter? Good video.

I'm a huge fan of the big one compartment (or one big primary compartment) filled with other containers approach. The inner bags or boxes can be specialized so that they meet the needs of their contents and I can mix and match what inner containers I need.

@ambofh16 11 месяцев назад

Ha! I just got a new bag from Goodwill yesterday for my POTA stuff

@aa3konthego 11 месяцев назад

For my QRP gear I'm just using an old laptop bag. Haven't hiked any appreciable distance with it yet but there are plans for that.

@idonotcomplyrevolution 3 месяца назад

you should consider the mission darkness backpack too, its completely faradayed and black, perfect for your backup/pota setup for when the SHTF. i got one to keep my electronic backups in, so radios, antennas, laptop, chargers, hacking tools, antenna analyzer, batteries etc. bit pricey but is worth the outlay.

@HAMRADIODUDE 3 месяца назад

Badass. I'll check it out. Thanks

@chrissewell1608 11 месяцев назад

A fishing backpack, may be a good choice. They have many compartments for tackle boxes, and tools. They are usually water resistant. But are not cheap.

@ozone385 11 месяцев назад

Great video HRD. What are the Green items on the tacticool bag?

@HAMRADIODUDE 11 месяцев назад

Video coming soon on those🤣. Hard to explain but in short,guy support

@DirtyPlumbus 11 месяцев назад

I could definitely use a bag upgrade. I keep all stuff in their own small size appropriate semi-hard cases and then just toss them into an anime backpack I got out of a subscription box. Lol

When walking on a beach, you NEED a GO COOLER! Yes, its the Ham Radio station, built into you favorite Yeti (heavy as Hello Kitty) beach cooler! Plus, a case of beer and ice!
