Nice job! I have the same bag that I use for my daily commute, but now I'm inspired to try it on a trip. I do take minor issue with your statement that the bottle pocket is "way too small to be useful." You may just need to find the right bottle! It perfectly fits my 750ml stainless bottle. Mine's not insulated, but its diameter is 73mm/2.9" if that helps. I also attached a couple of expandable MOLLE straps, which are useful for securing something bulky and/or wet like a blanket or towel.

I just find it a little tight, but understand it has its uses depending on bottle. The shock cord has fit my use case more. I appreciate the feedback!

Nice explanation Zack. I usually apply a taut-line hitch on either one or both ends of the rope. This type of knot makes it easy to adjust the tension of the rope, and in most cases, you can substitute the carabiner with it.
@visionswell6 күн бұрын
Thank you for the tip! On the carabiner I have an arbor knot, so a similar concept. I think I just like keeping the carabiner as a spare just in case. Every bit of space counts, though, so I’ll keep that in mind! Thank you so much.
