Training time!
The DG-3 club went for a training walk around Kangaroo Point last night.
I’m very pleased that my body is back in the groove.
6 klicks completed in 1:04hrs with >16kg penalty weight.
I need to weigh my pack to find out just how heavy it is.

Some great news from our old friends Crossfire Australia partnering up with Qore Performance.
Here, both companies have a chinwag about their capabilities and integration of both companies equipment.
It’s a fascinating discussion. I’ll have to acquire one to try out for integrated hydration options.

SNEAK PEEK: Kondalilla Falls and the DG-3 Slick
Thanks to our old friends and long time supporters at Crossfire Australia, we had an opportunity to try out a new pack.
The DG-3 Slick is an internal frame, less “tactical” looking pack for those wanting to look a little bit less obvious, or just not needing external pouch capability.
