Well i was getting pretty bored reading through all the great poll threads so i started a new thread of an idea ive had for a while. I wanted to start carrying a extra shovel and saw for quick access. To get the gerry off just unclip the two top buckles and everything folds forward. I had my pro sewing lady finish it. Turned out pretty slick ! Here it is:

Do want! ($$??)

On suggestion though. Double stitching around the perimeter, and back-stitch reinforcements at the corners and stress points; box-X stitching at the strap attachment points.

Very sharp concept!!!

The seams are stitched 2 times, once inside and once outside. Finishes it off nice. All buckles/webbing are X'd and horizontally stitched. The material is a type of cordura with a rubberized back dual layered with a type of enzolyte foam interior. Should be strong and wear well ! I keep a shovel, probe, saw etc on my back at all times. Just nice to be able to get out a saw and shovel quick and dirty !

Do you always carry the fuel jug? Does it mount nice and snug if the jug is not on?

Really nice idea. Could add that to any kind of pack, rack or can. I also keep a big shovel and big saw handy on the sled. I don't like to take my REAL avy shovel off my back or remove my avy bag to get at my avy shovel. Are you going to sell those?

I have to agree. I always carry one on my pack, but one for quick access on the sled would be great. Can you talk your seamstress into making me one?

Nice Idea. I also carry the extra larger shovel on the sled for quick access and that's a slick design!

Click to expand...

yah i found it at 9000-10,000 ft WAY easier to dig and pack the snow around my sled with a shovel than stomping like i do at 5000 ft being i live at 1500ft... a tunnel shovel bag that easy to access without a huge tunnel bag attached to it would be nice for this, im not big into taking my avy pack off with all the aluminum buckles and if something slides my pack is off.
