With two Kifaru LongPockets attached to the sides.
Pack with all other components detached.
Drawstring. A future iteration of this will have a different closure, but this is what I tried for this version.
Drawstring open.
I wanted to put a small pouch inside to hold small, easy to lose items - lighter, tinder, pills, etc. I just used a little pouch I had lying around. I will make something soon out of lighter material, but this will suffice for now. Besides the purple is a nice contrast to the usual assortment of earth tones most of my creations are.
Canadian poncho liner, Dutch poncho, BushBuddy wood burning stive in a SnowPeak 700 pot, orange signal panel, Integral designs ground sheet, Exped ground mat.
OuchPouch medical module mounted on the front.
First iteration. After building a prototype and testing it for a time, I’ve identified a few minor points I want to alter, and I also want to try a few different means of closing the top. A roll top like a dry bag, or a zipper that goes around three sides.
Back, showing the straps.
The Slurpler is an inch longer than the other two components, and as the water is drunk and the tension on the straps slackens it slides down a bit. Not a big deal, but something I will address in the next iteration.
If nothing else, my little pal Mimi likes it as a perch to better onserve the neighbourhood from.
The name comes from watching Clone Wars with my nephew.
“That’s a pretty cool ship.”
“Nah, not really. It doesn’t have hyper drive, or blasters, or any escape pods.”
EscapePod. That’s it! The main pack is the MotherShip, and if I have to leave it, I take the EscapePod. Brilliant!
Star Wars. Inspiring on so many levels.
Hey! Where is that little brat going with my pack?!

EscapePod
A small day-pack that can be detached from a larger rucksack, either for escape and evasion or scouting away from a base camp. Part of a module that other elements (medical, water, extra food or insulation) can be attached to.
