<v Speaker 1>sign up today and thank you for the support. This

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>is the brand new Explorer backpack from Gigabarts. This is

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Generation two, version two, and these are currently being shipped

11
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>on a slow boat from China, so they're unfortunately not

12
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 1>going to make it here until after Orlando Haamcation. However,

13
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>they did order I think it was twenty five or

14
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>fifty something like that, a small number on a faster

15
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 1>shipping method so that they would arrive by Orlando Haamcation.

16
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>So some of these bags will be available for Landohamcation,

17
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>which is just coming up in a few days from

18
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 1>the time this video will post. Now here's something unique

19
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>about this. There's actually gonna be two or three versions

20
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of this bag. You might notice that this bag is

21
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 1>black and it has red stitching. Those are the hamm

22
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Radio two point oh version of this bag. They're gonna

23
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>have one hundred of these bags in a waterproof type

24
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>material that is made to be much more waterproof than

25
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>this five hundred denier that this bag is. And then

26
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have some regular bags like this. They're gonna

27
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have some bags with black stitching that are not the

28
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>ham Radio two point oh version. So there's gonna be

29
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of different versions of this bag and those

30
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be available on my website link that I

31
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>will leave in the description blow and a few of

32
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 1>them will be at Orlando Hamcations. So we're gonna do

33
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>another video once we get there, but I wanted to

34
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>go through this and show you everything that it has.

35
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>This is a very neat backpack. It is the regular

36
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Explore but expanded. So let's go brought it into the

37
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Hamshack to get a little bit different angle on it.

38
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 1>Here close up, of course, it's got this zipper in

39
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the front here that goes down to the bottom Molly

40
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 1>on the front panel here again red stitching signifies the

41
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>brand of bag. There are the version of this bag

42
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 1>that is the Ham Radio two point zero official version.

43
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>It's got Molly on the side panel here. Water bottle

44
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 1>holder is this would be the right side of the

45
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>bag if you're wearing it. Expandable water bottle holder right

46
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>there on the other side it has same thing basically

47
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>molly water bottle holder on the top. Try to get

48
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that as best as I can. It's got a pocket

49
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>on the top here, and I put this in here,

50
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>so it's got velcro on the inside of it. So

51
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 1>you can get these velcrow different types of pouches and

52
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>holders and whatnot. Alf of Amazon. This is just off

53
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>of Amazon. Of course, all the Explorer bags that they

54
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>make for the original Explorer backpack will fit in here

55
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>just fine. But those are all like a khaki color,

56
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted something that was a little bit black

57
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and went with that one to be on the top there. Now,

58
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>let me open this up. So on the flap that

59
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>opens up right there. This is the outside flap. It's

60
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 1>got three pockets. This mesh pocket here, it's got a

61
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>solid pocket there and a kind of shallow right there,

62
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>and then it's got a deeper pocket right here. No

63
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>velcro here, obviously, but there's velcrow all inside the bag.

64
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Move it over like that velcrow here you can put

65
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>your laptop case, your IC seventy three hundred mount, the

66
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>FTDX or FT seven ft nine ninety one ft eight

67
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>ninety one. All the different Explore bag mounts that are

68
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that Gigabarts has options for will go on here because

69
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 1>it's just the regular velcro again. I got these small

70
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>pouches off of Amazon just to show that they're actually

71
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>much more universal than that. So you can use this

72
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>as a pin holder right here, hold some pins, maybe

73
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 1>a pocket knife right there, just all kinds of versatile stuff.

74
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>The side here has the mesh pockets. This mesh pocket

75
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>right opens up all the way similar to the last

76
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 1>Explorer backpack. And then this one on the other side.

77
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Try not to knock everything off. My desk has dual pockets,

78
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>one here on the bottom and one here on the top,

79
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>so as you're wearing the backpack, this would be the

80
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>right side. This is the right side here with the

81
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 1>full pocket, and then the left side has these half

82
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>pockets on it, so some cool options there. And this

83
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 1>is just taller this way from this is a deeper

84
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>inside pocket than what was on the original Explorer backpack,

85
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.959
<v Speaker 1>so the bag is bigger overall, and unlike the original one,

86
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 1>it will set up by itself on the top. Here

87

104
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>see this video, first, thank them for supporting him. Radio

105
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>two point zero. That's the bag sitting up by itself

106
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>with nothing in it. And again this direction here. It's

107
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 1>how it's much deeper this way. The old exploor bag

108
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was probably like, I don't know, maybe two thirds of

109
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 1>this size something like that. And you can get a

110
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff in that old explorer bag. But this

111
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 1>one here is even bigger. Now. One difference. I said

112
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning, this was a prototype bag. So the

113
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 1>load leveling straps that are on this bag will be

114
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>included in the production run, but this waste strap will not.

115
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 1>This will not be included in the production one. They

116
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 1>figured out that it was just gonna be too hard

117
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to do this. These these waist straps in the various

118
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.399
<v Speaker 1>sizes because they would have to order multiple sizes to

119
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 1>fit multiple people. While the backpack with just the straps

120
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and the uh, the load leveling or load balancing or

121
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever these are called, I can never remember what those

122
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>are called. These pull it pulls the bag up higher

123
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 1>on your shoulder, so it's not writing on your back

124
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>as much. But in order to have that, those will

125
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>be on there, but the but the waist strap will not.

126
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 1>So just a little blurb on that there. But this

127
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>is cool here, it's got the the snap here in

128
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>between the two shoulder straps. It's got an extra a

129
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>pocket here and an a little strap there. You can

130
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.399
<v Speaker 1>put a radio there and ht something like that. Maybe

131
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 1>it maybe even you might even be able to put

132
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 1>your smartphone on there, depend on what size smartphone you have,

133
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>so different things like that. But this is a very

134
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 1>cool addition to the Explorer line of these backpacks. And

135
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 1>this is what it looks like when you're wearing it

136
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the back there, walking along like this. This is a

137
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit high right here, but I think that if

138
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I was to pull these leveling straps down and kind

139
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 1>of pull the bag up like that, that wouldn't be

140
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 1>so high. It's possible that this is actually you can adjust.

141
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 1>I think you can adjust that. You might be able

142
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 1>to adjust that. I'm not sure, and it might not

143
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>be in the exact same place on the production bag either.

144
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>But it's not bad where it is. It doesn't feel

145
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>like it's choking me. But there's nothing in the bag

146
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>right now either, So bag's pretty much empty except for

147
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 1>those empty pouches I put in. But look for me

148
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>at the Orlando ham cation, I will be wearing this bag.

149
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome to stop me and say, hey, can I

150
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 1>see that? Sure, you can Gigaparts will have the production

151
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 1>run of these bags there, especially the waterproof version, the

152
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>waterproof ham Radio two point zero version, and the other

153
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>versions that they have of this bag. They will have

154
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 1>all of those well, they'll have a sample run of

155
00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 1>them there. Like I said, I think they have about

156
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 1>five hundred of these coming in total. I think there's

157
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 1>one hundred of the waterproof version and the other four

158
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 1>hundred or the version of this five hundred denier I'm

159
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure it's five It might be a thousand denier,

160
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's five hundred dener that this bag is,

161
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 1>and they will have those on the website very soon.
