Thanks Karl. Cynic's are good for product development! Design stuff ricochets around inside my head for ages before it comes into the world so it's great when people respond to the prototype, positives or negatives. I've had some really useful feedback from friends to-date and been able to incorporate a lot of it. This small batch for Kickatarter will help us sort production and refine the design. Once Rack Sack is out there we'll take in all the comments from users. Small batch and local manufacturing can be very responsive.

Actually did the "chuck it in the sack" this arvo — not for the pub unfortunately. Got the call that the car was required home by 5 as I was abseiling down cleaning gear from a solo aid climb that took me all day (not a big climb but a slow climber!). Anyway Rack Sack worked fine in "chuck it in" mode, just sorted it when I got home. Comment from Ross at Vertical Life was that Rack Sack is good for OCD climbers — made me laugh, and in my case a bit true!
