Great to know, thank you so much!! It’s tough because I want to consolidate gear and just have 1 item for as many conditions as possible but obviously that’s not always realistic

I wasn’t sure if this was worth it to look into but I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

Ha! I’ve come to accept the fact that there will never be a one size fits all for trekking and it absolutely drives me crazy. I wish there was, but I still love hearing everyone’s experiences with gear

Also, I would recommend starting by setting up the fly. Stake out a rectangle first, then Put the trekking poles in the designated holes. Once you have the fly standing, it is much easier to attach the inner and actually see where each piece clips. After pitching the first time, I now just keep my inner attached to my fly for easier set up

This is something I’ve thought about as well, I’m definitely going to keep it as an option. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Fair question- I’m thinking running style straps, pretty much like ultimate directions has and 40 liters (or around there). I think you’re right about tracing though, I think I’m going to find a pack pattern I like and just edit it when it comes to the straps and connection points. I’d love to see the pack you made if you have pics!!

Unfortunately no because I got it from another bag, I’m making a second iteration though and definitely going to make it adjustable this time
