Found this on Slashdot:
Anyone remember the guy who built the Winnebikeo and the Behemoth bikes and kayaks? Well, he’s at it again, but this time it’s packable. He’s taking lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, a Yaesu FT-817 HF radio, a Yaesu VX-6R HT, a Zodiac PDA, Linksys WET-11(older version) retrofitted with a Senao Long Range WiFi Card, cellphone and whatnot, and putting it all into something you can wear on your back. Basically, it’s Behemoth in a pack. His website is up for the Shacktopus.”
Clicky for the /. article.
I looked at it and it’s kinda cool. It combines ham radio, wireless data, a li-ion power source into a package that fits into an backpacker’s pack. It’s pretty damn hamsexy in a cool way.
in theory, by the time they have it built, i will be able to afford it! eggcellent 🙂
