Here are some photos of the new Off-Road RealSurvival Kit mounted on a mountain bike. This works very well, it's out of the way and very secure. I really like this mount as I don't have to pile more stuff in my Camelbak, also if I'm just going up the trail for a scouting ride I can just take a water bottle and I have my survival kit already in place.
Another nice thing about this kit that works well for me is I often will ride the mountain bike up a trail a good ways to get farther back in quickly, and then I will dismount and hike up through the brush scouting out an area. We decided to keep the original handle and D-ring attachment points on the bag so that we can use the shoulder carry strap still. So now when I get off the bike I just grab the Kit and attach the shoulder staps and sling it over my shoulder and take off into the brush.
What's cool is I can take a packet of hot chocolate mix and lay it in the stainless steel cup, then slide the bottle in and I've always got a ready cup of chocolate. If you like tea or cider you could do the same with that; I've done it, it's nice, you want to take a 30 minute breather, just stop make a quick small fire fill the cup with water and shove it right into the side of the fire. It doesn't take much fire or time to heat it up in this way.
We have the Kit in the following Cordura Nylon (pack cloth) colors logo'd and ready; Black and Red as shown above, also Forest Green, and Digital Camo, we'll probably pick a couple of additional colors as well.
I'm getting close to a decision on the online store, I'm favoring an Amazon storefront at the moment, I like the layout and options they have.
Well that's it for now, I'm up camping for the third night this week, and have to break camp in the morning, so it's off to bed now.
