harness with camelbak

is there any kind of harness with a camelback or something similar built in, saw one on a jp video about the 4500gpx,

The one you would have seen can be bought direct from JP.... http://www.aurumaustralis.com/pages/outbackprospector.html

I wear a small backpack with a 3L bladder in it over my harness, it is a good option as when not needing the water I just don't use the backpack. Also have things like snake bite kit, compass, GPS etc in the back pack too, very handy option.

ah yeah gotcha, does not come with the camelback so he must be using the one with bladder only and placing it into it. might get one of these for my next trip, would be nice to have something which can carry , camera , water , wallet e.t.c.

I use a daypack with built in bladder. It has a main pocket which can take plenty of gear and an outer pocket on the lower half has restraining material in it. I put the battery in the outer pocket, strap it in and close the zip over it, with both power lead and headphone/speaker lead coming out the same point. Webbing loops allow me to run the speaker leads through and keep them close to the pack and my body. The shoulder straps have D rings mounted on both. I attach the bungy to the right hand side and the speaker to the left....or on my belt on occasions. Pick gets carried on left hand side and slides through a loop on the pack.

Amongst other items, I'll carry the headphones with me in case the speaker packs up for any reason, or I want to concentrate on the responses etc. Works OK for me in moderate heat.....haven't exposed myself too much to long hot days. Handy for carrying the Goretex, lunch, jewellers glass, geo's hammer etc.

Better half uses the same rig and does so with comfort. If I need to put the machine down, I can unclip the bungy and stay close....or dump the whole lot very easily...picking up is also pretty simple. Doesn't seem to hamper me in the scrub any more than the harness did. Probably covers a bigger area of my back than just a camel back and the harness, but not that much. I can tight the belly strap and it holds the bag very firmly if I'm in steep country. Haven't had any issues with battery moving or leads pulling. Am happy with it.

Got it off then net...soldier shop on ebay....they have some good gear, just watch the prices at times though....sales come up fairly regularly. Avoid their special forces bag, they sit way too high to be comfortable. Still can't get use to the taste of water from a bladder...always got that plastick taste to it...

Hopes this helps

Chris

Could you imagine me walking around in those shorts hahaha

Hey at least Sponge BoB has shorts!
A few of the other characters only have shirts on.

My great grand son was looking over my shoulder while I was looking at the list of backpacks with speakers, when he saw the Sponge Bob get up he convinced me that, getting it would make Sam the coolest guy in school. As long as he could bring his lizard too.

He asked me to print a picture of the lizard, and Sam.

He also said Sam must be lucky to live by such big lizards that hunt for gold..

I think you have a fan Sam :)

haha dear of him!

christ so someone is getting that photo!

a fan indeed :)
