I got lucky recently and got my hands on a 64 pattern frame. It came with a 64 pack that looks like it's straight from Vietnam. Old, disgusting, etc. I have a few questions about the set up of pack and the valise. I want to go with the valice on the top of the ruck. I understand that a lot of people use A7A straps to fasten it to the frame, but I can't see how that would work. I was hoping that someone would have some advice, or even a pic.
Does anyone know of a good website where one could get some straps? I'm looking for some side release straps that are quite strong. Something that I could use in place of the A7A straps if I can't find any.
Riggermade: I'm looking to replace the stink bag that is attached to the frame and was wondering if you had anything to replace it possibly?
