| |
- | A ready pack is the equipment you take with you into the field.
| |
- |
| |
- | * support you in any circumstances possible to encounter
| |
- |
| |
- | * could be 24 hours without contact (24-hr ready pack)
| |
- | * any type of weather could set in (or already be happening)
| |
- | Some teams in an urban setting have less stringent expectations
| |
- |
| |
- | Pack is always ready
| |
- | * don't spend 45 minutes trying to gather your stuff after you've been called-out
| |
- |
| |
- |
| |
- | keep your ready pack pristine
| |
- |
| |
- | vs. use your ready pack regularly (recommended)
| |
- | * you know how to use your equipment
| |
- | * you cycle items that expire
| |
- | * use it for recreational, or for work, as your safety kit on vehicle trips
| |
- |
| |
- |
| |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| |
- | ''Distribute form for students to design their own ready pack.''
| |
- |
| |
- | The pack itself:
| |
- |
| |
- | volume: 20 to 35L
| |
- |
| |
- | packs without frames (bags)
| |
- | * cheap
| |
- | * light
| |
- | * very uncomfortable to carry any significant weight
| |
- |
| |
- | external frames
| |
- | * old style
| |
- | * most new ones are junk
| |
- | * cheap
| |
- | * bulky
| |
- | * heavy
| |
- | * can carry significant weight
| |
- |
| |
- | internal frames
| |
- | * modern style
| |
- | * metal slates inside back
| |
- | ** can be bent to fit your back
| |
- | * light, but not as light as bags
| |
- | * can carry significant weight
| |
- |
| |
- | frames distribute the weight
| |
- | * typically 70% on hips, 30% on shoulders
| |
- | * can change while hiking for comfort
| |
- |
| |
- | adjustments
| |
- | * compression straps - compresses the load, attach items to exterior
| |
- | * front shoulder straps - height on back
| |
- | * hip straps - fit and weight on hips
| |
- | * top shoulder straps - distance and angle on back, weight on shoulders
| |
- | * sternum strap - angle and position on shoulders
| |
- | * side straps - sway of load
| |
- |
| |
- | most important when buying a frame pack
| |
- | * go to a reputable store where they'll spend 20 minutes fitting a pack to your back
| |
- | * find the right size
| |
- | * test with real weight in the store
| |
- | * good place: Mountain Equipment Co-op
| |

| |
- | How to pack
| |
- |
| |
- | Heaviest stuff low down
| |
- | * so it doesn't leverage you backwards
| |
- |
| |
- | Heaviest stuff close to your back
| |
- | * so when you turn not a lot of weight to spin
| |
- |
| |
- | Protect against drenching when falling/dropping in water
| |
- | * 1 large bag
| |
- | * or bags for everything that can get soaked/damaged
| |
- |
| |
- | Advantage to using lots of bags:
| |
- | * bags tend to slip against each other rather than having contents tangled
| |
- |
| |
- | Organize into sacks
| |
- | * quick to find the right sack, then right item from sack
| |
- | * compression stuff sacks - make things smaller
| |
- |
| |
- | Mix of loose and tight sacks
| |
- | * all tight: creates voids of unused space
| |
- | * all loose: tangle
| |
- |
| |
- | A few items clipped on the outside of the pack,
| |
- | in side pockets.
| |
- | What you don't want to put down pack to access.
| |
- |
| |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| |
- | ''have a student completely pull apart every item from an extensive ready pack (e.g. Brett's)''
| |
- |
| |

| |
- |

- | ''group discussion:'' What is the most unreasonable item in the pack? What is missing?
| |
- |
| |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| |
- | 72-hour box
| |
- |
