What’s in your pack? I’m still rocking a 64 pattern jump ruck I used while serving. Lots of customization over the years deeper pockets with velcro and pockets on the valise amongst other small things. How do you waterproof your kit? Dry sacks? Ziploc bags? Contractor Garbage bags? I like Contractor bags cause they come in handy for lots of things and are reliable and cost effective. Dry sacks can work and I do have them but can get expensive.
Medical? What do you need extra when you are operating miles off the grid? Just things to think about. It’s all on your back. Choose wisely. #greatapeempire #sasquatchjim #buckknives #sammedical #snugpak #airborne #jumpruck #kitpack #armykitikept #warriorgear #eryx #ape #garmin #silvacompass #sunnto #biolite #gerber #firefast #oakley #pitbullsleeping
