    You just cost me $20 for a pair of those fishing rod holders!

      LOL, I’m hoping my POTA 20 gets here soon so I can try it with those. I wish the spike was a little longer and stronger, especially with some of the ground up here, but they do the trick, specially when I’m leaning a mast in a tree or using the rubber wire to secure it to a post.

    Fantastic kit, Mike! Well thought out and organized.
    Within 24 hours I've seen both you and Michael KB9VBR show the Domke wraps. Have one in my Amazon cart now!

      Thanks! I always look for things that have other applications. When I purchased a Clam pop-up earlier this year, I told my wife we could use it for sports games, LOL.

    I think you have just about everything covered. The only think you might not need is some note paper or POTA logging forms in case your laptop battery dies great video!

      Thanks! I do have a pen and notebook in the small pocket of the pack that is on the backside. But when i reorganize the bag, I want to move it to make it more accessible. While I usually log digitally, sometimes it's just handy to have a pen and paper nearby.

    Nice kit man! My 705 lives in that Maxpedition bag which fits great in my Osprey backpack. I still have lots of work to do getting my setup lighter and faster so thanks for the ideas! 🤘

    If you are flying with it remember to put all your sharp objects in one location so you can put them in checked luggage. Otherwise TSA may get some new mult-i-tools and knives. 73
