ABS escape 15 where do you put your shovel and probes?

[grayghost]

I was wondering what everyone else is doing on the escape 15. I put the shovel blade and probes inside the main compartment, and just tied the shovel handle on the outside cause it don't fit on the inside. I wish they would have put loops on the outside and a blade compartment like on the freeride. Is there a better way and I am just not smart enough to figure it out. Let's hear what you are doing.

Thanks

I just went and bought a different shovel that has a shorter handle. Voile and Black diamond both have shovels with handles that will fit inside. I know that isn't what you were asking, but after looking at the pack, I thought that was the easiest way to do it.

Here's my 30. I put the side strap through the bottom loop to hold the shovel. My probe bag loop is on the top strap to hold it.
