Here's my Snugpack Rocket (SR)with it's "many" adaptions!
1st photo heres something a shop bought SR can't do, fix a roll mat to the top!
Here you can see most of the adaptions, shoulder/collar adjusters(with "D" ring to attatch roll mat. new big fastex buckles on the side compresion straps, male fastex clip to fix a pouch to the lid.
Here you can see 1 side pouch attached as normal, and 2 clips top centre for attatching a pouch to the rear!
not very tidy but this is how it's done.
another option, carrying a pouch on the lid like i mentioned, obviously straps are needed to stop it wobbling forwads or backwards.
From the front: note another pouch(a Modified PLCE medic pouch) the shoulder straps now go though the front of the pouch which stabilises it and the whole lid area. also note the belt an Arktis pouch(this ones an ammo) fits really well for snacks, camera, i carry a walkman sometimes!
by the way PLCE side pouches do zip on to it but the SR zips are shorter, so it's not perfect but works, also not shown as the bag stands in the last pic, above the side pouch on the right is a small velcroed hole, for a camelBak. also there are 2 waterproof covers, 1 DPM(not IRR) and 1 sandy brown both work well and protect the sack!
the reason for me buying it in the first place was i wanted:
a green bag
with removable pockets
a compressable bag
not a military bag.
a smaller bag than i had, to help my personal admin!
and a bag i could use as a daysack for climbing/bushcraft
rats! it fulfills all of those criteria!
AAgh I'm just confused now! ok i do like it really!
actually writing this reminds me of all the good stuff about the bag, i don't think i want to part with it just yet,
sorry!
