[QUOTE="gcause, post: 77304, member: 1497"] You can do this way cheaper than that, I will post pics of my setup. The water bladders you can get from Anaconda for about $20. I use a $15 backpack from Bargain City. I bought a commercial harness for $85 from miners den but using it as is gives you a real pain in the neck and shoulders all day long. I salvaged the parts from it and got a webbing belt off it with a pick holder. With my backpack setup I can go all day without any pain. Once you are setup all you need to do is: - put your webbing belt on with your pick holder - put your backpack on - pick up your GPX5000 and attach the bungy cord and battery cable I have set up two backpacks using this method one for my 5000 and one for the 2200. Takes me about two minutes from pulling up in the car to being out detecting. [/QUOTE]
