I keep everything (LiFePo battery, Balun, Mic, Speech Compressor, Logbook, Pencil, Fuses, Multitool) in a yellow B&W Type 1000 Outdoor Case 
This has the added benefit of serving as dry base (or, when raining as a dry shelter as you can put the radio inside). It’s a bit bulky though.
When on summit I’m not hesitating to set-up my trusted FT-817ND in all kind of perilous positions

Hi Gordon,
a nice collection of useful ideas for you so far…
In the past I had a FT-817 and I built a plywood rack for it, so that I could operate without removing it from my backpack (I added connectors in the front side); it was useful in wet condition.
Details in this other thread:
And a spanish PDF with details downwards in my webpage:
Good luck with your solution

This is my carry box. Lighter than a Pellicase, a step up from Tupperware. £25 FROM Amazon. Would work with an 818.

Now you are out of the Union you can go back to the old ways and claim indigenous British Tradition and then thumb your nose at the High Court.
I used to bat both left and right handed when playing cricket. I would switch as the bowler was well into his run. Had that beaten out of me.

That’s the exact case I use for my 818 when out for SOTA. Perfect size for the radio, mic, and two LiPos.

It was a challenge for me to pack FT-817, because casting has sharp edges on the back of radio. It made holes in close that I used to pack FT-817. I wish to have this discussion when I used FT-817. Sold it.

Everytime I see this topic I read it is as ‘How to pack an FT817 and anvils for hiking?’

Exactly what I see. Although only myself and Paul have admitted to taking an anvil on activations so far.

Many of us are not admitting to carrying one. I gather someone carries an AR88D around as a substitute. No names…
EDIT - I got that wrong, it is a B40.

For those who are new here and don’t know the anvil joke…

I was sure it was a typo and it really was anvils. What else could it be?
I prefer 3 off 10 kg anvils for guy tie points. None of your 1 kg pack rubbish.
