Making a barrel pack is more versatile than the harness and easier. I have re-tooled several Kondos packs to use for food barrels. That way I can use them for other things as well.


It is a simple alteration - just take in the side seams, move the side handles down and use darts to contour the lid. This one is made to use sleeping foams for insulation to enhance a "cooler" effect.

Thank you very much. I've got an old military sea bag I might see if it will fit in it. Thanks again!!
