In this session, Thomas, K4SWL\/M5SWL\u00a0will walk you through his approach to building a versatile field kit \u2013 one that adapts to the conditions the field presents and even provides a few creature comforts. It will cover packing methodology specific to POTA\/WWFF, and SOTA activations, with particular emphasis on why summit and park operations might require different gear considerations despite similarities.<\/h4>\n<h4>Thomas will share practical examples from his summer travels in the UK, where one 20L backpack carried everything needed across a wide range of situations, and details the decision-making process behind those selections. Drawing on his experience as a lifelong field operator\u2014including mishaps and mistakes that taught him the most\u2014 Thomas hopes this presentation will offer newcomers a useful starting point while perhaps giving seasoned ops a few fresh ideas as well.<\/h4>\n<h4><em>Tonight @ 8<\/em> webinars are live-streamed on our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/theRSGB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube channel<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/batc.org.uk\/live\/rsgb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">special BATC channel<\/a><\/strong>, allowing you to watch the presentations and ask questions online<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><strong>All <em>Tonight @ 8 webinars<\/em> start 20.00 UK local time<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Upcoming webinars on <em>Tonight @ 8<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"post-tiles-container\"><!-- Category Key is turned off.
