Interested to hear any tips, advice, Best Practices, etc. for carrying microspikes in or on your pack (so as to avoid damage to the pack or anything else.)
Specifically, I expect to be carrying Katoola's (though haven't purchased yet), and the pack I'm using is an Osprey Aura -- which, as anyone familiar will know, does not have a great outside mesh "shove-it" pocket. I have added a mesh PackBack from Dutch (awesome addition, by the way. It serves as a wet gear hammock in my tent when I need it, or a grocery sack, laundry sack, etc etc....), but I worry that the spikes would shred the mesh.
Not my biggest concern; I suppose I'd figure something out...but when it comes to sharp pointy things, I like to avoid as much trial & error as possible.
Any advice welcome, and thanks.
