PFD Aviation “MOLLE” System, Switlik

While not directly aviation-related, survival and basic wilderness skills, sometimes called "bush craft" are an important part of flying the remote backcountry.

Getting the gear ready to be carried in the Switlik, X-back MOLLE:

Used Dacron for lanyards, a little stiff for my taste. My preference is parachute cord. Melted ends on stove:

Today 0600HST departed and then completed (3) hour solo x-country: PHNL.PHLU.PHMK.PHNL.PHJR.PHNL

The Switlik X-back was remarkably comforting even with all the gear stored in the pockets. I had the pilot side door off which is a little breezy but, more fun.
