Hi guys & gals, I looked for 2 years for a chestpack to my specifications that could hold my K2. Well I did not find one at all either on the internet or at the local stores.
1 year ago I drew up a design for a pack, but at the time the local Wal-Mart did not have the foam I needed. Now they do. So now I have so far 1/3 of it complete. I am drawing up the plans/measures while I am putting it together. For the external pockets, I am just guessing by eyeing it. I don't promise to post anything about it. But someday I will try to remember to put up some pictures. I am sewing this thing together from some basic skills on the sewing machine I learned while a kid on my mom's machine. I call my design the "Lazy K2 Chestpack", because it designed to be put together by anyone with sewing basics. === One of my main specs for this pack is that it has the ability of fitting tightly to my chest area. I want to be able to go Unicycle Mobile (/UM) with the homebuilt KA5DVS PAC-12 antenna and not loose the radio to some injury if I fall off the unicycle while riding. A good picture to think about is that of a parachutist, he does not want his lifesaver to be loose on his person. So far I have operated in the past year with VHF/UM. Maybe if I get good at this hobby, I will have someone capture pictures for your entertainment. Right now I have overcome my "comfort" zone of falling off of the unicycle so I can learn to ride backwards and try stalling. I have forward, left, and right down. My main idea for riding the unicycle was just for transportation only. That's means not dressing up like a clown for a parade and juggling; though I do respect those who can multi-task like that. Thanks for reading this.
