    I'm a relatively new ham. I've wondered why there are so many videos about bags in the ham hobby. Today I am packing for a short trip, the first one where I will be taking radios with me, and now I understand why there is so much info about bags! I wish I had been paying more attention to these videos and had already bought a bag.

    • @KM4ACK
      @KM4ACK  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      😂The deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the more you will understand the bag obsession :-) Here's another one I did on a 2M travel kit. th-cam.com/video/r6KstfSq8wI/w-d-xo.html Welcome to this crazy wonderful hobby!

    I’d make a couple of minor tweaks. First I’d add speed tape (maybe instead of one of the other tapes). It’s an aviation product that can handle high speed wind and also not leave residue. Second if you don’t want speed tape I’d definitely use gaffer tape instead of duct tape for the No residue properties. I’d probably add a little spike tape which can do dual duty of marking your equipment if you are not just supporting yourself and as flagging tape for any guy wires. I’d also try and cram some spectra or Kevlar line to be able to actually hang that antenna.

      Someone else may have had one but I didn't ask around. I managed to find a janky way of solving the issue until I got back home.

    Nice kit, Jason! I have a few more minimalist tools in my SOTA pack. Gaffers tape is wound around my trekking poles. I also have a small multi-tool from Leatherman called a "Squirt". It includes wire strippers as well but is small and light.

    • @KM4ACK
      @KM4ACK  ปีที่แล้ว

      Wish you could still buy that squirt new! It’s a great tool.

  • @ThomasK4SWL

    Excellent video, Jason...and timely. I have a very similar kit, but it's spread out between an EDC pack and separate dedicated repair kit. I just got a new pouch that I've been stocking up to be stand-alone much like yours (though not as well thought-through!). Did not know about the SOG knife, so I just purchased one with your affiliate code. Thanks! Thomas-K4SWL

    • @KM4ACK

      The SOG knife is much better quality than I expected for $38. Pretty sure you will like it. Thanks for supporting the channel!

  • @californiakayaker
    @californiakayaker ปีที่แล้ว

    I've read that the Yaesu Ft5DR can be run on 12v directly though the charging port. It was in the Yaesu Specs. If you want the link let me know. N6GRG Also, I knew you would probably put a multimeter in the kit. A small clamp meter, like the true rms UT210E Mini Digital Clamp Meter Handheld RMS AC/DC Resistance Capacitance Tester would be so handy. You can instantly check connections by simply clamping on one wire and seeing current or not, plus it has all the features of a sophisticated multi meter.

      @KM4ACK  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was mad at myself for leaving my larger kit behind but sometimes it's too much of a hassle. Maybe I will be more likely to actually carry this kit with me when traveling in the future. The absolute best kit is the one you have on hand when you need it :-)

  • @JPA66
    @JPA66 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can’t say that there is anything I would change about this kit. For space saving I use 1 card to keep tape. The top half is usually electric tape with the bottom duct tape. How durable is the meter? I like the size of that. Fun to see you guys challenge each other on stuff like this.

    • @KM4ACK
      @KM4ACK  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This particular meter is a brand new purchase. I had one very similar in the past that held up well though. It won't be as rugged as the meter in the shack but for less than the cost of a Baofeng, I won't cry if it gets broken.

    Very smart tips and suggestion, Jason. Thank you! As a traveling ham-tinkerer, I am always looking for tools that fit the need and can possibly be TSA compliant; today, there's duct tape and e-tape going on the more-than-a-couple hotel key cards I have laying around, lol. 73 de K0WHW @Bill-HRT

  • @mikefromflorida8357
    @mikefromflorida8357 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just curious. If you were traveling in a vehicle, why was your original bag deemed too large? It would easily sit on the Jeep’s back seat and be pretty small. I don’t understand. If traveling several hundred miles from home, I like to take tools and other equipment appropriate to begin far from home. In fact, I like to travel “heavy” in my vehicle because I easily can. Not a criticism, and your videos are great. Thank you.

    • @KM4ACK
      @KM4ACK  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's what could be called a dumb decision. I honestly didn't think I would have any need for the repair kit when the primary radio I planned on using was the HT. I had the 817 radio kit with me but doubted an opportunity would arise to use it. I was right about the 817 kit that I took and wrong about the repair kit left behind. Go figure.
