Custom SAR pack project: final touches, finished product


Ta-daaa.



It's done! Yay! I hate my sewing machine now, and my entire existence is permeated with little scraps of orange thread. However, I have a brand new, custom-to-my-specs, one-of-a-kind SAR pack. I'm kind of stoked.

Custom SAR pack project: suspension / back panel

For those of you who are just joining us, I've been working on a custom backpack for search and rescue work. Previous posts have detailed the process I used for the packbag, shoulder straps, and plastic framesheet. Here I will discuss the suspension.


Apologies in advance for the pictures on this installment; I got caught up in the making and neglected to spend much time on photography.
