It was seen in an earlier article about another Packworthy item: Eneloop batteries. There isn’t much to say about it, but for under $10, you shouldn’t expect that level of intricacy.

Upon my return from Costa Rica last week, I discovered that my web hosting service was under a DDOS attack, so all web services like email and this site's management were affected by the situation. All the more reason for me to extend my vacation mindset - I'm still on 'Tico time.' I really shouldn't neglect my site. After all, the discipline to post regularly is a key factor in what makes a website successful. SEO and Google-payola help, but if you don't post, you lose your audience, so it doesn't matter how many people click-through. So I will make the first step and outline the first project of this site and first piece that inherently exemplifies the core purpose of this site. I will be intimately dissecting the single carry-on backpack I carried with me through Costa Rica with a full complement of backcountry camping gear, and a digital SLR with three lenses - one of them being a 300mm f2.8. I am tentatively calling it a lesson in "Pack-natomy." Be forewarned, this will be far too complex and thorough an article, but it should give a well-illustrated starting point for conceiving your own long-term "one-bagger."

Eventually, I'll develop a scale or find some nifty Wordpress plug-in that will facilitate rating them. In the meantime, I'll say that the item in question ranks way up there on the chart and I have been using them on a regular basis for two years where they have held up admirably. Full details after the jump. Continue reading →]]> http://www.packcamera.com/official-packcamera-packworthy-product/204/feed 1
