I share what I use on a #pota activation. It's not that light, but it gets the job done 100% of the time!

My current POTA kit is an IC-7100, Powermini 2, Buddistick Pro and 12Ah Bioenno battery. It fits into an Apache 3800 case from Harbor Freight. All told the kit weighs roughly 25 pounds. This is also my AuxComm/ EmComm base radio setup for ARES, Field Day setup and when on home power and attached to an EFHW hanging in my neighbor's tree is my base station. It's better for operating close to a car or shelter than it is hiking deep into a park for quieter operation.
I think I need dedicated base station and POTA radios.
It's not an addiction, I can quit any time I want.
Also, I have Rite In The Rain notebooks everywhere for logging if my computer is out of power.
Awesome
I always enjoy seeing what kind of gear folks take with them to the field. I would sure rather have it with me and not need it than the other way round!
Yep
Field Notes. I still say they need a special POTA/SOTA/Ham Radio edition.
YES! I emailed them about a QSO book and got nothing back from them.
@@AA0Z I've hit them up on Twitter about making one too, nuthin.... I've been half tempted to print and bind my own to sell on Etsy...
Amazing how much stuff you can fit in that red bag! I didn't realize you are not a mast man. A mast is the only thing that struck me as "missing". Guessing that is a regional kind of thing. Always feel like I should have a mast as I may not have a tree.
I often do bring a mast but if I can throw a line in a tree, I'll do that first.
I use the same battery & black bag for the -705. Great video.
It seems to work for all those small radios!
It's amazing how much you got in there! Is the throw line by Marlow? I have the Weaver throw line, weight and cube. But I've been eyeing the Marlow line, which looks to be thinner and lighter, for my 705 go-bag.
Yes the throw line is by Marlow. There is a link to what I use in the description
Two is one and one is none - that's why you bring two keys. Besides, they are small and gives you choices. I usually pack 3, and this past weekend I used all of them.
Yes. Good point. No matter how I pack, it's always a lot of stuff.
What's the link to the arborist rope?
Added to the description. Sorry, I made that video so long along and uploaded it I forgot to add the links.
Didn't see the kitchen sink or a backup battery.
Backup battery is in the car. The kitchen sink I leave in my kitchen as I don't like to re-caulk it every time.
The Links Kyle, the links...You forgot the links!!! Side note: I haven't pota'd yet, but assembling my bag looks pretty similar to the amount of extra stuff. You never can tell if you might need something and like you, I want to be prepared. BTW "POTA'D" is a new entry to radio slang.
Done & updated.
@@AA0Z Thank you my ham friend!
You need to add a small first aid kit.
In the car.
You don’t always bring a battery lol
There is always one in the truck
