LOL. This is surprising news?
Half of the gear in these pictures are actually stored in my Kit bag in the car.
1. A Garmin GPC 60cSx ( this is a very common Handheld GPS navigator, you can pick this up form many shops in Pakistan for 20,000). It is not prohibited nor is it advanced.
2. A VHF 2 Way Radio/Scanner. ( Again embassy staff are allowed free and un-hindered communications, they are permitted to use Radio Communications).
3. A Basic First Aid kit with a Nasopharyngeal Airway ( the green tube)
4. Cyalume Glow Sticks, these are used for emergency lighting, navigation and marking. These are not prohibited items, in fact you can pick-up a set of 3 for 500 rupees from any climbing shop.
