e_hoop15 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 With most of the climbing packs (BD, Arc'teryx, etc) they have stripped off all of the crap that usually gets attached to the outside of a pack like extra pockets, zippers, and thingamajigs. I like this style, but have one complaint....how the hell do you attach wands without them sliding out of the cinch straps on the side? I have the BD Speed 55 and it seems like I'm always worrying about loosing wands. Does anyone have a clever way of attaching the wands to their pack when there isn't a pocket on the side to slip them into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 cannot vouch but what about this.. there are compression straps, no? why not rig something like a chalk bag (in design).. even a stuff sack, etc..hell take a quart bottle of milk that has the plastic handle and cut off a portion of the top. rig a string/strap to the lowest compression strap and have that 'bag' hang there with the bottom of the wands in it. Or even use a liter pop bottle and cut it off then use an awl or make a little hole for a string to go through. If the wands are under the compression strap then they shouldn't be all bouncing around but this keeps them from sliding out down. poke a tiny slit or hole if using something like plastic so that any water can drain out. just mimic that bottom edge stretch pocket that is on packs.
