Well, my siblings finally told me I tossed my old 5200 cu.in. backpack, not given it away. Sigh, sometimes they just need to tell me what happened, and not go along with misrememberings.
Anyway.
I would like to build a replacement. 5200 cu.in. or about 80-85 liters.
2 side pockets each side. horizontally divided interior, map pocket on flap, and a outside pocket on the side away from the shoulder straps. hip belt and straps. I prefer aluminum frame and clovis pins. Not concerned with hip belt pocket unless you think its a good idea.
Since my Alps Mountaineering Zion packframe does extend slightly, could I use that ? It holds a 3900 cu. in. backpack, with about 4 inches of room at the bottom.
I've used a sewing machine a little bit. My siblings would probably help. They have been sewing for years. Of course, the one that lives hundreds of miles away is the one who is the expert.
Cost... that could be a show stopper. But then, I don't have to make it all at once.
Thanks !
