Good Evening,
A ‘mutated’ G4 build (just had to tinker with plans):
Changes:
a) Frame – two aluminum stays that seat into hip belt along with aluminum rod bent in squared ‘U’ to support the load lifters. Shoulder straps wrap rather than directly attaching per standard G4 plans.
b) Hip belt – detachable and wraps hips. Stays seat into belt for load transfer.
Pack is 24 oz and handles 25 lbs comfortably.
Attached are photos are:
– Back of pack with pad removed.
– ‘Build’ photo with stays seated into hip belt.
This was a first sewing project and I do have an appreciation for the elegant and careful MYOG work that folks here do.
