Been playing with this last week in the evenings
frame is hazel, lashed together with bankline. i added toggles having watched a couple of Youtube vids by Dave Canturbury and Jamie L Burleigh
the strap is an old lorry strap i happened to have lurking in the garage (i know that one of the sides needs jiggling over the V in first pic)
i roughly threw a bundle together to see how it felt for comfort the next day
i was surprised as to how comfy it is for such as basic idea
obviously the above was all well and good whilst messing around in my garden but it need a real test
so i took it camping Sunday night (write up of both the trip and the kit coming up)
everything i needed for the night fitted nicely into the bundle bar water and a haversack of smaller gubbins i may of wanted (and is in fact now my standardised bimble bag)
worked well comfy light (12.7kg not counting food or water but counting everything else including air rifle and outdoor axe)
i can see a few tweaks i want to do having used it but i am well impressed and will be using it again
Thanks for looking
Sam
