I have a few different variations depending one what mode or antenna I want to try.
Usually though:
- IC-705
- Endfedz 10/20/40 Trail Friendly
- paddle or mic
- 20’ collapsible mast
- log book (rite in the rain)
- in-ear headphones
Of course a water dish and treats if my dog, Nora, is traveling with me.
I’ll keep all of that in a Maxpedition 12-Inch X 5-Inch Bottle Holder
Backpack if I’m able to really minimize is the Nathan Trail 12-liter
There’s a few extras in the pic that I may bring, like a coffee thermos for short hikes on cold days, YAKTRAX spikes in case it’s icey, and a headlamp.
What do you SOTA with?
It goes in the pack. I like to pack stuff in the bottle holder because it provides some cushion/protection.
Also reminds me the pack holds a 2L water camel bag inside as well
