Rucking with your pack

[peterk123]

Anyone come up with a good way to use the meat shelf on your pack for rucking? I use a stone glacier. Just curious if you've come up with a way to secure it in place nice and tight. Thx Pete

I use an Onus training bag filled with pea gravel, and just cinch it tight. Not a problem with my K4.

I've used the NRS straps to help secure it to other frames

Like Truck24hr said, add whatever weight bag you want to start with and cinch down. Increase weight as indicated.

A bag of cement fits perfectly in the meat shelf of a SG. I put it in a garbage bag and duct tape it tight first to keep the dust from coming out. Then place it in the meat shelf and secure with the bag.

45 lb sandbag fits well in the meat shelf of my Mystery Ranch, just have to cinch it down tight

I like that design. I can actually sew one up that would work the same way. Nice and simple. Thank you.

I remove my pack and just use the frame and meat shelf all summer. I have multiple gallon bags of sand that weight 10#s each that I put into a bigger bag. I can add or subtract weight as needed. Usualy only do 30-40 #s then increase to 50 a couple times before the season starts. Just strap the bag onto the load shelf with the existing straps.

It’s been awhile since I used a SG pack but I don’t remember having any problems securing loads for training or for real with it.

Can you describe what is occurring when you put a load in it?

When I place two 25 pound plates on the shelf one of them can slide out. Putting them in a bag will solve it. I can sew a couple of buckles to it and clip them to one of the 30 buckles on the pack.
