[L.Doubtfire - The Blade Runner]

Been experimenting with my back pack today,and so far so good.To get the weight off my
back and distributed more evenly spread around my person here`s what I`ve done.With an
Unger Ergo-Tech tool belt I`ve attached two `Jumbo` pouches.It just so happens the `Dalesman`
plastic jerry cans fit perfectly into them.Thus there are two 5 liter containers on either hip making
of course a 10 liter maximum capacity set-up.The pump,battery and remote are on my frame which
is the only item on my back.With the weight being spread around more evenly I hardly knew it was
there.Another real bonus is I don`t have to take the back pack on and off when refilling.They are just
there so close to hand etc.A flick of the cap then just replenish from another 5 liter or any size container.
I`ve found it to be incredible,yet really its so , so simple .Is anyone else doing the same or similier
or could perhaps offer any further ideas  to what I`ve outlined and doing? I think the real `key` to the whole
business is the 5 liter containers fitting so snugly as they do thus making it look also to be a professional
back pack set-up. I look forward to members comments.

We've got one...but it doesn't get used much....may come in handy one day for some job or other....

[Ian_Giles]

a good inovation Lewis
I don't have a back pack, have considered it though as an alternative to getting out the trolley for a small job, or those jobs that need a lot of walking around or clambering around.

I do have a few accounts where one would be useful.

What sort of price are the back packs by the way?

[Ian_Giles]

Lewis how about this setup


ps. i have posted this on the other board as well what do you think

Can`t send any pics sorry,no digital camara.When on my hips the containers do I guess
resemble saddlebags.It`s Peter`s trolley pump box with Jeff Brimbles pump(also Jeffs straps)
Pro-User power pack with extra amperage battery.If anything ever happened to that my whole
set up, trolley included would be `up the spout`.Including the remote control its all in the box
with room to spare.The frame is from an Argos catalouge trolley( not made anymore).No air
vent needed,just drilled a hole to take the `suck` pipe,nice and tight to stop water `sloshing`
around while walking etc.(Just loosen cap to help pump) Just wait a couple of years and the
leading makers will have a super dupa  model out . Mine does look professional though,but
a council cleaning lady thought I was `rocket man` yesterday.I`ve never been called a `ghost buster`
yet but there`s still time I guess.Do a search for `Dalesman`,they are tough and well made too,
got them from a camping /outdoor shop near Halifax.Ain`t doing anything till this wind baits
and stops,its inside stuff only.
