New gear :)

I have the first bit of gear ready to go from my testing I got to do at the Idaho Hang. I am taking our Hammock Bag a step further.

Introducing the
Arrowhead Attack Pack

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...3_894387_n.jpg

The Attack Pack functions as a stuff sack for your quilts, hammock, clothes, what ever you are going to set up as soon as you are at camp. Then you can take advantage of the sling strap and load it up with your day hiking, fishing, lunch or what every gear you need to take on to the summit, the next lake, or just around the next bend in the trail. At only 2 1/8th oz and self stuffing into the built in pocket it shrinks down nearly to the size of a small energy bar. The built on pocket has edge to edge omni tape Velcro to close completely keeping all your small items secure. The pack has a built in Banshee whistle for signaling along with a front bungee cord to lash your jacket in place. Pick the Stealth Green or Granite Grey for low visibility (stealth), pick the Blaze Orange with it's reflective strips and "I'm Over Here!" safety design.

New product for you??? give me 5 minutes"

Well it wasent quite five minutes but a whole 4 months but ill cut ya a break only because your a nice guy :D

Loving the new product, would some one be able to order a custom size and possibly one with out the shock cord on it. Id be interested in a mini version of this just to carry loose items around camp.

I really like the looks and the thinking that went into this product, Paul!:)

What is the size (measurements and volume) of the "Attack Pack"? It looks from the picture that it might be a better fit for my UQ or TQ, a bit bigger than needed for my WBBB.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Lazy we could work something out. Send me a PM with what you have in mind and I can see what we would have to do to mod the design. :D

I have seen this up close and personal...it's da bomb!:)

Beep, laid out flat the pack is about 11x18. It would fit a 1.7 dbl BB with ease or a couple 3 season quilts. In the pics they are loaded up with a 4 season 3/4 UQ or a 20 degree TQ and both have a lot of room to compress down a lot more inside the pack if you wanted (I like to have room for the stuff sack to squish to fit the shape of my pack and other gear) 4 season quilts would probably fit just to snug.

Thanks, Paul. 'Tis a handsome bit o'kit you've come up with!

I likes :D
looks like a nice day pack....

Lookin' good Paul! I like it.

That is brilliant!
Shug

Looks good...

excellant idea Paul...........I will be calling with some questions about mod that I have in mind............

Very nice! What does it weigh?

Bf:cool:

This is a great multi-use item. A stuff sack and something to use when you'd like to drop your pack and take only a few things up a quick peak bag. I could have used this last year on my Half Dome side trip!
Approximately, what is the volume?

Great looking new piece of gear! Now to convince my wife that I need one...

Wow that is really sweet looking piece of gear!

Based on Paul's description as "11x18" flat measurement, my approximation math shows around 500 cu. in. or a bit more than 8 liters. That's approximate because of the guesstimation for how much the cinching constricts the top, etc.

Now is this water proof? If so this could be used as a pack liner, for all your down gear . Multi uses gets my attention every time. You could also use this as a peak bag for your hammock as well.

This looks cool! I've been needing a stuffsack/daypack. Yay!

I should know better than to open one of Pauls new gear threads, more kit for the want list :)

Beep is right in there, I was going to estimate it at about 8-9 litters ballpark.

Darn you Paul! Now I want one, too! :boggle:

Looks real good Paul.

It looks perfect for a 10 camping essentials kit.

American ingenuity! Buy American! Paul, Brandon, the Jacks, Te-wa, StormCrow! (and I'm sure i forgot many)...this is why i love this sport-always thinking! Can't due this under socialism HA!
OK I just ordered one (Hurry Paul, I leave in 10 days)....but why?
Often I'm headed to the water source and its a PIA to get there and back with water bottles in hand, and my big bladder I use in camp is light enough but the handles suck. So this will be perfect after unloading clothes/quilts whatever, then throw in my two gatorade bottles and the the big platypus and haul them all! Simply superb Paul!
Woke up with a thought on carrying water....think it be possible to seam seal this bag and carry water in it?

Paul, that is a very innovative design. I think it'll be an instant hit. Good job!!!

I can't wait to order one! Hurry up, pay day!

Roll-top version?! ;)

NICE! :thumbup:

Paul is an innovator! He comes up with some of the best products!
If I didnt have other more pressing gear needs I would have picked this up yesterday...well, theres always next week.

I've got my eye on this pack to use as a day pack while canoeing. Is it waterproof...or rather water resistant? Just wondering if it will shed rain?

The fabric is Sil, The same we use in tarps, though I do not seam seal it (though you could) and the top drawcord is done just like any other stuff sack---we could add a small flap I suppose to give a cover to the inside of the packs mouth. ;) Would be any easy thing to make it more water resistant.

Very nice..

lol just saw the 'home delivery' product :D

It just seems so light and simple...I think it would be an awesome day pack to have while canoeing :cool:
