    Very nicely done Dutch ... little Grizz dig and everything! Just think if that gig as one of the Smith Brother's on the Cough Drop box falls through .... you got a calling!

    All kidding aside ... very creative. Love the way the weight transfer is done to the belt. Very well done.

    Kudos Dutch, Nicely done. Having all the weight transfered to the hipbelt
    is a huge plus. What does it weigh? I suspect far less than most hammock & packs
    added together.

    very nice!

    My math skills are limited to regular geometric figures, so yeah, that day pack would stump me

    Velcro holding the straps on....how much weight do you think the pack can reliably hold before they give way...

    +1 on using the spreader bars to transfer load to the hipbelt.

    +1 on using the Dutch biner to take the tip of the spreader bar.

    So truth telling now, if you charged minimum wage for your time, how much would you have to charge selling these at materials+time?

    The placement of the poles is genius!

    I like it much, Dutch!

    You have a: I got my mind wrapped around that one . . .

    I saw a comment that made me think a good name would be Hammopack.

    My British and South African friends would say BRILIANT . . .

    . . . and so would I.

    Velcro holding the straps on....how much weight do you think the pack can reliably hold before they give way... We know another pack (name starts with Aa...) that uses velcro, don't we, Dutch? Are there front balance pockets in the future?

    +1 on using the spreader bars to transfer load to the hipbelt. Look forward to closeup pics of connections at both ends of the spreader bars. Better yet, send me your Bridgeskin.

    +1 on using the Dutch biner to take the tip of the spreader bar. Yes, yes. Did you have this use in mind when you designed the biners?

    So truth telling now, if you charged minimum wage for your time, how much would you have to charge selling these at materials+time?
    is right! I'd pay you 25 cents an hour ... if I could afford it!
