osprey silva 12 day pack gear long term thoughts on bag

[@ke4hzc]

Hi "Triple G" , Wow I got some good ideas for my vehicle bag from your video. I may order some of those supplies as brthday present to myself tommorrow. I noticed you mentioned xtra mags in your video. I don't want to invade you privacy, but do you "carry" for protection or just target shooting? As always take care and I look forward to the next video.

That’s great ideas are good! Happy Birthday!! I do both target and protection. Do you do either (carry)?

[@ke4hzc]

Yes I "legally" carry, but haven't been target shooting for a while do to physical disabilities. Hope to go again real soon. My main hobby of ham radio keeps me busy though.@@Greatgadgetsgear

@ke4hzc Also a good hobby. Sorry to hear that, hope you get back to the range and enjoy some splatty targets lol.

Great review! This is a weird question for a biking bag, but do you know if it is big enough to hold an iPad? I'm trying to find a small multi-use bag that is good for hikes, bikes, amusement parks, and can be my personal item when flying. It looks like it ticks the box for the first three, but I have an iPad when traveling.

[@Greatgadgetsgear]

Thank so much! I’m not sure as I don’t have one lol. Can you give me the dimensions and I’ll check for you. Length, width and depth too.

[@Rebecca-y5j8s]

@@Greatgadgetsgear it is approximately 10"x7.25"x.5"

@user-yd9js9yc3k Wow an iPad is 5” thick?? Um I’d have to say no, not that thick. I have a medical book you can look up called The survival medicine handbook by the Alton’s which is 10”H x 8”W but only 2” thick, it will fit but really fills up the main compartment of the bag. They also have a 20 liter version that might accommodate all uses depending on gear you want to bring. The 12 is very small. Hope this helps.

@@Greatgadgetsgear The iPad is only 0.5" thick. I should have put a 0 in front of the decimal to make it easier to see. LOL! I thought about the 20L, but I want a small bag to help prevent overpacking! If my kids or husband see extra space, they'll think there is room for their stuff in MY bag and it will start getting heavy. It is time for them to carry the overflow! :) Thanks again. Your videos have been very helpful!

[@Greatgadgetsgear]

@user-yd9js9yc3k Awesome lol ya I thought that was a bit thick! So it would fit, I’d use a padded sleeve since no padding in bag. It could work but might be tight with other gear. But if you really want to use a small bag like this, you could make it work. I understand wanting to keep it small I mean I love this bag it’s awesome. That’s my advice, I’d definitely use a padded sleeve and then you’d have to look at your other gear and kind of pick and choose as your packing. What’s really the most important. Thank you very much. I appreciate that and I’m glad my videos are of any help or value to you. Stay tuned more to come.
