The sleeping foams are a great way to make it comfortable to carry. good Idea.

quote Grandma L: "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!!
