C'mon son, you know that plastic container came from the FT-818 battery! I see some good things in that video... but hold my beer, I'm goin in!
🤣😂🤣
yeah t.o. whatcha gonna do now huh????? LOL :)
That is a well thought out tool kit. Much better then my method of tossing random things into a Tupperware before going into the field.
I have a serious bag problem.....just ask my wife. She swears I have more bags than she does :-)
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.
😂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. ruclips.net/video/r6KstfSq8wI/видео.html Welcome to this crazy wonderful hobby!
Now this is a lean and mean tool kit. You have everything you need. I love the wire stripper. That is a well thought out tool kit.
Lots of great ideas and gear in there. Thanks!
Thanks! Great idea in that kit.
I'll be hopping on Amazon to flesh out my kit thanks to this video.
Come on ladies, settle down!😆
Handbag wars! Haha
🤣😂🤣
Well thought out and very compact!
Your tool kit videos are awesome, always giving me good ideas! Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍
Great video. All-in-one. I could see myself using most of this in the field in a pinch to save a POTA activation. Thank you. 73. Joe - W7BWA
Thank you for the good informaiton in your video. Most of us are way to optomistic when we travel and think nothing will go wrong. Mine is much larger so nice minimulistic soluiton.
Great video, Jason. By the way: the first version of your pronunciation of Knipex was almost perfect 👍
Thanks! 👍
Nice one Jason!
Great stuff, Jason! I'll be looking to add some of these items to my go-kit. 73 from Tracy VE3TWM.
Thanks Tracy. Would be great to see your take on the same type of kit. Always fun to see other perspectives.
I am just surprised that you didn't have this sooner. And I'm surprised that no one else had any of these in Orlando!
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.
Well thought out kit. Thanks. I need to add some of the items to my kit. Jack K5FIT
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.
Wish you could still buy that squirt new! It’s a great tool.
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
The SOG knife is much better quality than I expected for $38. Pretty sure you will like it. Thanks for supporting the channel!
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.
Great tips. Thanks!
Excellent kit, Jason. 73's
Thanks man
I'm liking that SOG electricians knife. Not a bad price.
It's actually better than I expected for the price. No complaints.
The little box reminds me of the 3D printer tool box or
Bulk hot end filament t head box they came in
Excellent! I have much of this in my pack but I like the idea of adding a compact multimeter. Thanks! 73 de Chris K2CJB
Nice, thanks Jason. I just can't seem to shed my 55 lb tool box however. 😁
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 :-)
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.
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.
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.
@@KM4ACK "but for less than the cost of a Baofeng"
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
Love my SOG Kilowatt, but they’re discontinued!
I see a lot there that is un-necessary and things that need to be added. But hey, to each their own.
Just watched your video. Nice collection of tools and accessories. Have not watched TO's response but I bet the cost (quality) of tools used will not be matched. TO's too frugal! He'd there now!
His response video is awesome! We had way too much fun with both videos.
Any time you can roust TO its a good time!
Looks good. And of course one has to "season to own preference", so I'm curious what T.O.s answer will be. 73's de PD1XAN
Like you, I am eagerly awaiting his response video. I am sure he will have ideas that I didn't think of.
almost half of this toolkit would be replaced with a Wera tool check plus which fits inside there
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.
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.
Two is one. One is none!
But when I see your knees buckle I know you're carrying too much!
Excellent, Jason! Loads of ideas in here, the credit card with tape hack is so simple and elegant I am gobsmacked that I haven't thought of it before. Steve (TO), over to you mate! This bag from Jason is a 20+ over 5x9, you have a tall order beating this! 😀73, Jan M7HNK
Thanks Jan. Glad you like it :-)
It is always we Fan boys who suffer, stop the fighting. LOL
😂😂😂
If you cannot figure out what to carry without a youtuber showing you most likely you don't stand a chance anyway.
I still like seeing how others put kits together as they may have thought of something I didn't or thought of a different way of doing something that I could adopt in my kits.
new tools that some never heard. and some bags (out of stock) that fit budgets. i for one can not drop $100. up to $300.USD for a carry/parts/tool bag.
i ride a klr 650. that's how cheep i am.
I really wish T.O. would stop copying you. I mean, imitation is flattery but this is just getting to plagiarism.
We have way too much fun with this bag war. 😃
awesome. keep the content coming! KN4YRU -73
