+CarlfromOH Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Any body have a recommendation for a carrier/bag/pouch/holster for carrying your GPSr? I would be nice to also have room for extra batteries, small flashlight, etc Thanks! Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I've recently started using the "GPS Caddy" and have been pretty happy with it. It holds a small GPS, PDA, flashlight, batteries, and pens reasonably well. http://www.cartom.virtual-space.com/gps.htm Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I use this one from GPS Outfitters: I think I got it for around $12. I put the GPS in the main pouch, the digital camera in the smaller one, and a flashlight, pens, batteries, and a lot of smaller items in the side pockets or attached using d-rings. I like it cause it's big enough to pack everything, small enough to keep on my belt or hooked to a belt loop, and it doesn't look like a purse. Quote Link to comment
+Bad_CRC Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 you bring "paraphenalia" on the "stash hunt"? littlecat got me a waist bag similar to this for my last birthday: I don't wear it, cause it'd look silly on me, but it looked pretty good on her. Holds 2 water bottles, gpsr, pda, camera, batteries, swag, and just about anything else you'd want. Quote Link to comment
+LECTRAGLIDE Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Any body have a recommendation for a carrier/bag/pouch/holster for carrying your GPSr? I would be nice to also have room for extra batteries, small flashlight, etc Thanks! I use a multi pocket waist belt .Arround $20.00 .I carry small binoculars ,flashlight,lighter,multitool,reading glasses, small camera, small can of animal pepper spray and when not in use my pocket pc all fits very nicely . The 3 pockets spreads the load out so you dont have one big bulky mess in front of you. I wear it to my side so that one of the smaller pockets is in front . Oh ya there is a very small pocket on another pocket that I put 2 batteries in . Works great . Quote Link to comment

+Bad_CRC Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Fanny pack. waist bag Po TAY toes, Po TAH toes. hehe. I think they are different (I looked it up before posting), but I'm glad to say I'm not an expert on the subject. Quote Link to comment
+uxorious Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 For a long time I used a small camera bag I bought at a garage sale for fifty cents. Then for Christmas Mrs. Santa Claus gave me a Maxpedition Versipack, A little pricey but this pack is perfect for me. Lots of secure compartments, a place to clip my GPSr, a compartment for my Leatherman tool kit, etc. It also works as a holster, on those rare times I take a pistol. Keeps it out of sight so I don't bother those who are uncomfortable around one. (I have a permit) Quote Link to comment

+Ducky Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I've been using a Maxpedition JUMBO Versipack for a few months now with no complaints. Its the perfect urban/semi urban geopack for me. Quote Link to comment
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 We use one of these. $7.99 from Carol Wright. It holds everything you can think of and is leather.It can be used as a belt pack or shoulder bag. Quote Link to comment
+Noscitare Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) I've been using a Maxpedition JUMBO Versipack for a few months now with no complaints. Its the perfect urban/semi urban geopack for me. Holy crap! $83.00 for that?? I've been using one of the below for ages....good old fashioned knapsack that costs about $15.00. It worked as a bookbag in college, as a quasi-briefcase for work, and as a knapsack for the occasional jaunt in the woods. But no, it wouldn't work very well for carrying a concealed weapon. (The video at the bottom of the Maxpedition page is kind of funny.) Edited February 4, 2008 by Noscitare Quote Link to comment
+Driver Carries Cache Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Still other times, I use one of these: BMW/Williams... Is that the Nick Heidfeld model or the Robert Kubica model... and is it wind tunnel tested? DCC (who was raised a Ferrari F1 fan from the age of about 10) Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have a Mountainsmith Lumbar pack I got on sale at Campmor. It holds everything I might need for a "caching adventure." Quote Link to comment

+Driver Carries Cache Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Beats me. I googled 'windbreaker' and got that. Then I've made a very obscure and "off-topic" reference... Oooops! In an attempt to cover this fact... I carry my caching gear in one of these: A Mountainsmith lumbar pack (attaches around the waist) that also can be converted for shoulder carry. One of the best purchases I've made. DCC Quote Link to comment
