Any of you MYOG-ers take special requests! :) (pack sling content)

I have a shoulder sling daypack I make that is basically just a stuff sack with a water bottle pocket and shoulder strap. The lightest one is 2 oz with silnylon and a 1 1/2" grosgrain webbing strap, and I have a spectra gridstop one with an adjustable webbing shoulder strap that weights maybe 4-5 oz. They are plenty big enough for ultralight day gear. I often pack my day stuff in it, then when backpacking it goes on the very top in my Golite Gust, for nice organization, plus a really light daypack.
And I do take requests.

Thanks so much…is there an email address I can reach you on to discuss further instead of boring the good folks of BPL?

I can PM too, but sometimes that gets all funky. Let me know!

A few years back I bought a LaFuma synthetic summer bag that came with a really unique stuff sack. The cord pulls at the top of the sack are extra long and the ends are permently attached to the bottom to form a day pack. The cord pulls act as straps. Or sometime I put the cords together and wear it as a sling. It's just coated rip stop and I've been meaning to make a copy out of silnylon but just haven't yet. I wear a lanyard around my neck with tippet material and nippers and the fly box in my front shirt pocket. I'll usually use the stuff sack pack for my water bottle and snacks and maybe an extra clothing layer and camera. With this set up I can be gone all day and I don't have to bring an extra fishing pack. When I hike, it goes back to being used as a stuff sack for my sleeping bag.

That sounds really cool Randall…do you have any photos of it?

I too wear a lanyard, and a Morel fly box in the shirt pocket, and also used my fannypack/sling last year to carry my platy, lunch, snack, rainjacket, and a small survival kit. That's pretty much it, and I could be on the river all day. Here's my previous setup I'm trying to improve on.

I could make it a detach lid for the Jam2 if i had picks of the pack see how to attach it if that is your preff style.

Convert a stuff-sack to a day-pack.

This is the luxury version with a shoulder strap made out of webbing – a strong 15L pack for 70g or less. It was built so that I could do supply runs after pitching camp.
