Pack security cable lock???

[Zone-5]

Pack security cable lock with alarm..

..so what do you use, one that goes around your pack to a pole. What if there is no pole!



I'm paranoid of having my back pack leave unbeknown to me before I do! I've had them walk before and have invested in cable mesh locks before which just work well. This one incorporates a 95 db piezo screamer if moved! So if I'm settling down to lunch and someone gets too interested while I'm relaxing.. BIFFO!

Well actually my back pack does spend quite some time in airports..

Sorry guys but you have misunderstood me.

I'm looking for ways to secure my pack if I have to leave it unattended in a public place.

I am using the above device but seeking others suggestions in this thread..

In the present post-911 climate, that security net won't be useful as security staff don't like to see unattended luggage in public places. They are more useful in hostels. As for in the bush, it's quite a bit of weight to carry.

i agree, get rid of the pack and put everything in the wire mesh....

i think the mesh ones that cover your bag like that will invite trouble. these pack security products are only effective against petty thieves, a determined thief will always find a way, especially with a canvas/fabric/etc bag.

i have used something similar to this in the past

it stops someone knicking off with your bag, and it's a lot more discrete and easier to carry.
