Ive been at home for 10 days but hadn’t really felt like sewing until 2 days ago. Then for some reason I just felt like it, so off I went making 2.5 new packs in 2 days. This was the first:
This was an attempt at something along of the lines of the MLD Hell. Sat down and planned it all out... then realised I didn’t have enough fabric left for the size I’d planned so just freestyled it making it up as I went.
The wrap around front pocket is made from duramesh and is divided in to 2 by the Venom webbing axe loop/daisy chain/top strap. I usually avoid Venom for anything using buckles as it slips but it just about seems to hold with the pictured g-hook (Extrem). We shall see, I may end up swapping out the top strap for normal webbing if it starts to slip.
Part way through the sewing I found an old skull patch in the sewing box and added it to the front. I quickly regretted it though and removed it. A little bit to doom and gloom for the current climate. I did however go online and order a replacement:
Which will give this pack it’s name, the ‘break free’ time will tell if it actually makes it on to the pack
This one used up the last of my rbtr grey, black, and green HDPE Gridstop and also the last of my duramesh.
320g.
