Carrying The Predator Platform

[ricky racer]

I just thought I'd pass along my attachment method for attaching my Predator to my backpack. I wanted something cheap and easy (kind of like me) that would be an easy DIY project and make for a silent attachment to my pack. This should work on most packs with attachment points like mollie loops or D-rings.
I started by making a couple of rubber washers using some 1/8" thick rubber and cutting them out with an 1-1/4" gasket punch. I'm sure if you go to Lowe's or Home Depot you can find ready made rubber washers for less than $1 each. I also made some loops from paracord.



I fished the loops through each of the rubber washers using a wire with a small hook formed on the end.



Next I girth hitched the loops to a couple of D-rings that were in the desired location on my Red Rock backpack. Of course the the length of the loops can be any length desired to position the Predator wherever you want it.



Then I just simply slip the washers through the Predator's platform for a quick, quiet simple attachment to my pack. I hope this helps someone looking for a good way to carry the Predator to the woods.

What a great idea!!

That is slick. Looks like a hockey puck sliced in half would work. I'll give my buddy one for his predator.

Much smaller than a hockey puck. The washers are only 1-1/4" in diameter. They could be even smaller I suppose.

That's a great idea. I'm going to have to try that

Great job! As an old SOF guy, I'm gonna have a link that ensures it cannot possibly come off. But great idea, think I'll be trying that one!

I don't see any model name or number on it..... I picked it up at an Army/Navy discount store.

I’ve been looking at a sling pack very similar to yours. The only reason I haven’t ordered it was because I didn’t know how to carry my predator since it wouldn’t fit inside of it. I just ordered it and am gonna copy this for sure. Thank you

I wrap my knee pad around it. Then , I use the nite-ize tie that will suspend the saddle in the hookup process as Ernie suggested to hang it from my pack.
