The Many Ways I've Used PacSafe
• Lately, when I go skin diving from a beach with no one around, normally, I won't be able to just leave my stuff on the beach and dive. With a PacSafe, I can secure my stuff around a tree and go diving.
• I go for cheap lodging...usually a dorm-type pension house where up to 10 beds can be grouped in one room. It's cheap, but a lot of hands can be touching your stuff when you're not around. The PacSafe ensures my security. Without the PacSafe, I would be forced to take a private room which cost more, of course.
• I'd been in a few situations where the PacSafe really came-in handy. Instead of lugging my big, bulky and heavy backpack for the next 3 hours until my jeep departs, I just cabled it on a secure post and went about exploring town feeling confident my backpack will be there when I come back.

Ending Thoughts
PacSafe has more than paid for itself in terms of the savings, convenience and peace of mind I get when I travel. Now, it's part of my standard travel gear. Like my GPS, hammock and Swiss Army Knife, I don't leave home without it.
