Slideshow of all my gear for the HAM radio field day/multi day setup

Here is the list of gear. It’s a lot of stuff (162 items) and of course I don’t use always use all the gear, but it’s what I take when I’m going to spend an overnight camping/playing radio. You should have seen the list “before I optimized” it. Missing from the list is non-emergency rations of food and extra clothing. But I have ton’s of videos of stuff I take for camping.
