Telesteps ladder pack

This was a weird gear project but a fun one. A team needed a pack to carry a Telesteps ladder. The pack has strap suspension a back panel to protect the wearer and two buckets to catch the legs of the ladder. The ladder is accessed by unlocking a flapped panel via a side release buckle and then lifting the ladder out. I also added some pull straps so the ladder could be rapidly deployed with gloves on.

Photo backpacks

Here are two photography backpacks I did. The main packs are built with two divided areas, one for a hydration pouch and another for the camera equipment. The insides are lined with velcro so that the padded dividers can be arranged however the user wants. The exteriors are built like regular 3 day packs with molle and nice straps and removable waist belts.

Super bag

This bag I did for my sister's trip to Europe. She wanted something that could be small sometimes and large when she needed it. I started with a semi-rigid base, with comfortable shoulder straps and a removable waist belt. I then built a large duffel bag onto that base and added enough compression straps that the bag could go from a normal backpack size to a large hiking pack. The exterior flap had a large additional pocket, and the whole thing was done in this great martini olive color.

RG backpack

This was a large backpack I made for a trip. It would both open like a panel loader and had a zipper on the bottom for latitudinal access. I had made a few backpacks in the past and wanted to try something new in ranger green. This bag had aluminum stays for support and a waist belt.

UCP backpack

A friend of mine needed a bag for deployment, something simple and comfortable. This bag did the trick. IT has a main compartment and an access pouch on the bottom. It also sports a hydration pouch and some Velcro.
