Chrisbee: /* Base hackpack */

A hackpack is a backpack with a set of "always carry" tools for hacking the world around us.

We are starting a project at sudo room to create ~$25 base hackpacks with optional expansion packs.

We have a [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/hackpack mailing list] where we discuss everything related to hack packs.

People currently working on project: [[User:Tunabananas|Tunabananas]], [[User:Matt|Matt]], Mackenzie, [[User:Juul|Juul]].
