Berghaus Vulcan Mod

Sorry but not sure why you would add zips onto your pack, if you already have two side pouches on you only need to undo the zips furthest from your back and another side pouch will zip between the others. Saves weight and money
Colin

But the side pouches are then no longer supported by the zips?

They have the ones nearest your back and if it's a PLCE one then also the clips, I'd assume that anyone doing this will already have a full pack and so friction will help too.

That's what I thought. For the sake of the price of some zips and some sewing, the zips are a much more professional option.

People use the additional pouch for several reasons.


Keeping all your gear dry or cleaner, for example:

water proofs - seperate from main bag
days rations
tarp/tent

Here's mine with my Ti Goat stove in a DPM Kipling Pouch:

Or they, just like me; may not want to save weight or money.

That's just what I was thinking of doing

Sorted.
I was thinking about such an adjustment myself the other day for my Lowe Alpine. It has MOLLE loops, so I might figure out a system to use these

Nice job BTW

I can do that with mine, as I have this wierd side pouch (the upside down one) which fortunately has a couple of straps with press studs on the back you can attach onto the molle loops. It's also got a million other molle loops on it, so I could add some on top of that which would be ridiculous. I thought it might have come from an original Vulcan but looking at the pictures I doubt it as all those side pouches are so bare compared to this odd item.

I was planning on doing it so I could put a double omni pouch on the front

LOL, grab a box of tissues bud...you can use 'em either way.

I have a zip on the way, but I think I should have ordered some webbing to cover the zip, kind of like a flap, I am surprised that rvops don't do it there mod. I will also add the proper clips top and bottom.

I find emailing the KarrimorSF supplier for your country is a good way to get parts for the mod, most often have bits of webbing and zips laying about.

I have done the same mod on my Predator 45 but made it removable by stitiching the zip onto 2 peices of webbing that weave through the front molle panel.
