Not 100% done yet.
Needs a grab handle, and a final decision on whether to add storm collar or not, and if I want drawcord closure up top. Lid has gutter paracord with 2 barrel locks to hold tight to the main body. Shape is sort of like the Klettersack backpacks and with sustainment pockets added, like the ARVN rucksack but taller. This replaces the 2,000ci MOLLE bag as my primary short trip bag, and gives me better ideas on how to do the Spruce green/Ranger green low profile pack, which likely will get a frame insert from Fireforce USA.
Specs
20" tall
12"top width to 14" width bottom
7" deep
1000D Cordura bottom and back panel
500D main panel and lid
Duraflex.tan 499 buckles and D rings
Black metal three-bar buckles/tabs for lower frame attachments
Single buckle lid closure
Velcro strap for frame
Minimal MOLLE to fit only the Sustainment Pouches
2" lash tabs for lashing bed pads, or sleeping bag sack
6x6 pocket for 5.5x5.5x3/8 foam pad for nape pad, can fit flat items like maps or cards in there. May fit phone without breaking it.
Medium MOLLE/DEI 1609 Open Perimeter frame
ALICE straps-will replace heavy QD lower pieces with lightweight parts from OV Innovation if I don't decide to make my own
MOLLE II ruck belt-might replace with either woodland version of ACU Med MOLLE Ruck belt (4" tall, same as war belt but with ruck mount straps), or ALICE style kidney pad with just 2" stabilizing belt pieces, or go Kelty style old school with just trampoline 3.5" wide webbing panel and 2" webbing belt
