Since taking delivery of the MHM pack, the most difficult issue we have been dealing with is keeping everyone calm until it is their turn to use it. This was certainly the case for Communications Director Jeff, who was immediatly off to do some backpacking in Nicaragua once it was his turn in the rotation.

First off for Jeff was some beach time Chinandega.  After visiting some friends, he made his way down to Granada for some colonial-esque city action. Following an experience remincent of the 1800’s, Jeff  ‘the jeffe’ hopped on a boat and made his way to the famed Ometepe Island, in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. There, Jeff took part in a wide variety of outdoor activities, before returning back to our base in Costa Rica.

The Bag

The bag was actually used by Jeff’s traveling companion Violet, who utilized the bag in a variety of ways not in the initial design. Due to the hostel and couch surfing nature of the excursion, there was no need for a sleeping bag. This allowed for the lower integrated stuff sack to be easily used for a whopping 7 pairs of shoes, truly an amazing statistic. The rest of the bag also performed well, especially with the easy access panels which made it particularly convenient to access the entire bag’s contents at any moment. Equally at home in pure outdoor scenarios, this bag has also proven itself incredibly capable in the more relaxed ‘backpackers’ use seen here.
