I thought I would post a modification that I did with my Blue Widow pack that has added functioning load lifters. I had a couple of aluminum stays laying around from an old pack that I had dismantled for various reasons so I decided to try and make this work without spending much money or actually doing something to the pack that couldn't be undone. I bent the extra stays to the same shape as the blue widow stays and taped them together with gorilla tape. I know this isn't ideal but it allows me to play with the highth to get what works best for me. I then simply took a 1 inch strap and put it up and over the stays and gorilla taped it in place so it wouldn't move. After deciding on a hight and weather or not this worked I put together an adapter that slides over the stays and has the 1 inch strap sewn onto it. I had velcro sewn on the ends to attach to the original flaps of the stay covers. This mod seems to work pretty well and doesn't change the pack, it can be reversed at any time. I did some hiking with one side moded and the other unchanged and it makes a pretty significant difference. Hope some of you find this useful.
