Do any of you have opinions and or sources of lightweight external framepacks, perhaps with a logical/fast/easy mounting system for gear bags? I am looking to experiment with one that could carry my gear in one or two attached bags and also mount a 5/8 wave mobile whip on. Preferable not in cammo colours

I know there are a few manufacturers providing external frames but there are rare. I have to dig around as i had found some and saved the links somewhere out of curiosity.
From the SARBC website, you can sign up for SARCOMM its an email of comms related stuff not overly busy, a few years ago they had how to for a 5/8 whip but it wasnt on an external pack. all the messages from that thread are on my old computer. ill dig them up and send it here.

Nic – that would be great if you could do that.
