The financial world we live in is just as wild, if not more, than the mountains and woods we walk through. We are told that the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but we can feel that something is wrong. My unique financial background and survival passion make Financial Survivalist and excellent place to learn and share.

Super Light and Easy Pack

As I was doing research on my new tyvek bivy, I stumbled across MoonbowGear.com. These guys have developed a super light, super convenient backpack for short or long trips. The pack essentially takes advantage of the gear you are already carrying. By doing this you can eleminate unnecessary weight and save time packing up camp. See the pack below or go to MoonbowGear.com.

is a harness/compression system that acts like a pack.




It is a piece of material that is roughly the size of a ground pad, with compression straps, and harness (shoulder pads, hip belt) attached.
