Here's an example of baffled ignorance. I've been camping since I was a kid and have taught hiking and camping to teenagers for a number of years. One thing I've had little to do with has been modern army kit.
Recently I picked up a Snugpak Rocket rucksack, a very nice pack, well made and well laid out. It has two zip-off side pockets which can be removed and attached to an army yoke to for a small daypack, although no yoke was included. The company I bought it from, Adventure 1 in Scotland, very kindly supplied a yoke. So...
How on earth do the pockets attach to it? The yoke is clearly intended to configure in a variety of ways to a range of different modules and pouches. I zipped the pockets together, laid them out on the rear of the yoke and attached the straps and clips lying nearest to the buckles on the pockets. The result was symmetrical and functional, but somehow it doesn't look as though the pack should be supported on the straps the way I have it. Around the front of the yoke are two long straps which are just left dangling with nothing to clip them into. All in all it seems like a very complicated procedure to produce a flimsy and unsatisfactory result, so I am sure that I must be at fault somewhere.
I realise that it's very difficult to describe such a procedure clearly, but has anyone else tried a similar arrangement?
