During the drive back to Dili, trough some arid, rugged habitat, Mark took the opportunity to obtain some publicity shots with the LowePro Vertex 200 camera backpack he was testing.

Here you see Mark O'Shea modelling two items he would not be without on a tropical herping expedition. Midwest M1 tongs with padded jaws for safe and secure capture of venomous snakes. LowePro Vertex 200 camera backpack carries all his cameras and lenses in comfort and safety and is within the airline size limit.
