I have decided to take on making my own pack, but had a few questions:
What kind of mesh should I use for the back/side pockets and where do I buy it? I was thinking something similar to the "4.0 Open Mesh" that MLD uses.
What do I use for padding in the shoulder straps?
Am I limited to a panel construction method like I see on most packs, or could I make a big stuff sack and attach pockets and the shoulder straps with bar tacks and x-box stitches? My thought was less places for the fabric to come apart.
Thank you for all your help,
John
