nice pack. and I like the shock cord idea, but I don't get the zip ties. why not just tie a bowline or alpine butterfly knot for the loop? I can respect if zip ties and carabiners increase your confidence in your setup, but I'm old. and I have to cut out as much base pack weight as possible, and I'm down to eliminating things like carabiners and other little stuff where I can find a way to do so. appreciate you showing what you're doing though. Thanks.
That's a nice bag. I've been looking for something that can carry enough stuff but stay compact. That's a good idea with the shock cord too.
