The DIY Kifaru Charmin pocket

[dkime]

This is what happens when record low temps shut down Michigan for a day. I offer you the Charmin Pocket. I really think I’ll end up buying a Sherman pocket as well for my other pack but I quickly added the zipper, water proof pocket and gun sleeve to the inside this evening. It needs a bit more work and fine tuning but seems like it’ll serve a purpose.

Deepened the rifle pocket slightly, now another tweak to the strap and were golden

Hell of an idea. Lot more versatile without much weight gain

It’s a quick and dirty attempt, I’d really like to make a cleaner version someday but it seems to work well so far

Great idea. I was thinking about this, but the other way around for a gun holder (grab it attached, with a pocket). But after seeing these pics, I might have just changed my mind. The added length fits the guns to the pack better.

I was worried that the added length would allow a rifle to be kicked in stride but so far around the house it hasn’t been an issue, I need to develop an idea of where to run the vertical straps that would normally hold the grab it up; for when it is in this down position

If you had some extra open ended straps, one could simply strap them up along the side of the pack

What about sewing a 2" square piece of elastic inside at the corners making little pockets the free straps can roll up and tuck into?
