Couple updates. I hated how floppy the bridge loop my bino pouch full of rappel rope is. It also sticks outside the frame of hybrid. I often clip the two bridge loops in front of me to make it better but I could never quite get it right. So I sewed a piece of webbing and g-hook. Two things spawned from this mod...
Essentially I bring bridge loops in front of me, g hook sewn on right one, grabs left one, cinch right.
this fixed the flopping but put the bino pouch right under my arm. So I cut it off. I didn’t know what I would endup doing with rope, but it wasnt Going there.
when I made this modification, I no longer needed to clip the leg loops behind the seat to hold it up - this does a good enough job. Because of that, I was able to use those leg loop buckles at top of frame for this...
I took the top buckles and relocated them to the webbing that attaches my harness to the frame. This just moved the closer to the corners and easier to reach. They would’ve worked where they were.
then I took two no sew buckles (broken bar) and threaded them on the bottoms of the shoulder straps where they attach to frame.
my elk pack lid fits perfectly here. Then I just have two matching buckles in my gear strap in tree. Unbuckle from frame, buckle to strap. Done. This holds everything I’ll ever use in woods plus some. I have an idea for a quieter pack Iwill update if I make the switch.
next I had to figure Out the rope. I was in yard messing with it and just figured 8’d the rope and hung on load lifter post. Duh... leave it right there. But I needed a way to capture the bottom loops so they didn’t come undone or catch on brush. Easy, just unclip bottom corner of pack, and clip through loops. No pouch needed for rope. Easy to deploy and store. Shaved another 6 ounces off the setup.
and finally quiver for mini(or compound). I hate having quiver on mini walking in woods. And I hate figuring out where to put it in tree. So here it goes, unless there’s a bunch of crap behind me the arrows could hang up on.
