Hey everyone
hanging out on here has lead me to try to lighten my load, or more specifically load carrier. So when my friend was going to thro away a old school bag that had decent structure and straps left, and was well enough made, i snatched it up. I add it to my other old pack/parts, and then set to planning. Once a got a couple sketches i took to it with a knife and sliced away.Then i took a 1in thick foam pad and created a fame thats removable. I had bought a 3 strap compression bag a while back and hadnt used it much so i decided that i could by putting the compression straps through the packs origninal material then back around to tighten. this way the 3 compression strap hold the pack to the bag. I then added a vertical compression strap. Then took some old jansport straps and used a nylon strap to loop around the foam pad then out the hip pad holes. riged a way to hold a sleeping pad and im pretty much done. besides finishing touches or new ideas.
so let me know what ya think
