In this video I show my FTX-1 go bag setup built around the amazing Yaesu FTX-1 Field. The radio fits perfectly inside a rugged Maxpedition water bottle holder, making it a compact and protected portable station that’s easy to grab and take on the trail.

I’ll walk through how the radio fits in the bag, why this setup works great for portable ham radio, and how it keeps everything organized for quick deployments in the field. Whether you're hiking, camping, or setting up a quick portable station, this go-bag approach makes the FTX-1 incredibly practical.

If you enjoy portable ops, POTA, and lightweight radio setups, this might give you some ideas for your own field kit.
