That's right, I asked around, and found a deal to suit my college kid budget. And since I'm in a duck blind right now waiting for sunup, I think I'll write up what I have so far.
Also considering that I'm going on a hunt for whitetail and Nilgai next week that I drew for in South Texas, I figured I better get something to use in case I'm successful next week.
So looking on Craigslist, I managed to find a "slightly used" Kelty Trekker 3950.
Notice I added the weaved Paracord to the bottom... Well I realized that since the pack has no shelf, I decided to maybe try.
Once I got the base Paracord weaved on there, I added some more with larkspur knots
After that I tied them into knots in a line
after that I kept doing the same for a few rows
Now you may see where I'm going with this I kept going until I hit the end
About that point I was feeling sleepy, and didn't want to fight it considering I needed to be awake much before dawn to chase web footed birds so I called it a night.
The plan now is to weave some kind of lanyard style rope to fasten it to the frame on the top, and keep it adjustable so it's tight. With this way I'm hoping to have a lightweight way to haul out deer quarters and maybe some gear. The cool thing is that the pack only cost me 50 bucks, the Paracord only 5, so if this doesn't work, it's not too big of a deal. Any input will be appreciated and I'll keep you updated as I go.
