I have one of these two-strap GI Duffels that are roughly 90 liters and apparently made of 1000d.
I am thinking of modifying it to
It would basically be a slightly heavy roll-top Argali with side water bottle pockets and the side PALS moved up vertically. Thoughts are, I already have this bag and it would be easier to modify it than make a whole new bag. And cheaper than buying a bag...
Anyone have any thoughts on this idea or suggestions?
I am thinking of modifying it to
- Convert to roll top closure
- Add drawstring water bottle pockets in usual location
- Relocate existing grab handle to normal backpack location
- Add PALS for side/rear pocket mounting
- Add compression strap guide loops
- Add rear/bottom compression straps for stowing sleeping pad
- Add Mounting points for Kifaru frame
