I bought a Norwegian metal framed backpack a while ago off of "Beardyman"............ forum member.
Been meaning to reproof it, and finally got around to doing it today.
Gave a right-liberal coating of Fabsil.....stank the workshop out
While it was drying I set about making some extra utility straps for it.
Riveted a hatchet loop on to it, and added a couple of "D" rings for the extra tie on points.
The pack's intended use is for days out, and short stopovers.
I plan to tie the tarp shelter to the lid of the pack.
The sleeping bag will be hung from below.
Leaving the main compartment for my other bits and bobs.
Side pouches will hold Clean Canteen water bottles.
All kit stowed inside will still be placed into dry bags.
I would like to have replaced all the leather webbing, but that would be a fair old job.....one day maybe
Will put up some pictures soon.
