Vernon is a very talented photographer that currently spends 6 months of the year shooting in the alps and the rest on his sail boat, exploring the world.<\/p>\n Vernon is currently in Indoensia exploring the amazing remote islands this beautiful country has to offer.<\/p>\n To be able to share all these amazing experiences Vernon has a YouTube channel Learning By Doing where you get tag along on the most amazing adventures around the globe.<\/p>\n Right now Vernon has sailed to Indonesia (from Australia) and has set out on an adventure to climb an active vulcano.<\/p>\n Dukono is one of the worlds most active Volcanos, erupting every few minutes.<\/p>\n We checked in with him after the adventure to hear his thoughts on his gear.<\/p>\n – What are your thoughts before choosing bag on an adventurous hike like this?<\/strong><\/p>\n Choosing between the 100l and 45l bags was sort of easy in this case as my 45L<\/a> bag has shock protection as well as being waterproof. I’d never climbed an active volcano before so I just imagined the worst and prepared for that.<\/em><\/p>\n – How did your Subech bag handle the river crossings and torrential rain?<\/strong><\/p>\n The 45L<\/a> Subtech bag handled everything thrown at it on this adventure. From hiking through rainforest in the middle of a tropical storm to being partial emersed during two river crossings my gear stayed protected and dry.<\/em><\/p>\n – How do you mainly use your 45 Liter, 100 Liter bag and the tote bag on your boat?<\/strong><\/p>\n The 45L<\/a> (1.0 version) I’ve had the longest and mainly use it to transport my camera gear when I’m going on an adventure. Most of my adventures involve water so this bag is just a must for me.<\/em><\/p>\n The 100L<\/a> bag is huge but with the divider system I can pack efficiently and everything stays in its place. It has great shoulder straps and also a waist belt that helps to transfer the load.<\/em><\/p>\n The Tote bag<\/a> I use for shopping missions to shore and easy beach adventures.<\/em><\/p>\n

While the Subtech 45L is not a hardcore hiking backpack it proved comfortable enough for me to hike 4 hours up steep and slippery slopes and for my expensive camera equipment to survive.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
