As many of you know I like to adapt and modify my equipment from time to time and I know a few others do the same, so how about seeing some of those rucksack mods.
This started off as a cotton canvas Crusader made by Berghaus but the old side pocket zip system was designed for their own pouches so I added zips compatible with the PLCE system.
The elastic in the hood was dying, so that was beefed up with some thin bungee cord threaded through the edge and the old buckles, of a type I just didn't get on with were changed to a more standard clip style.
Recently I've made a couple of side pockets with canvas salvaged from an old military tarp to better match the original material.
