Making My Own Camelback Bag

Post by Louise » Sun May 11, 2008 2:02 pm

I've decided I want my own fashionable bag for my Camelback bladder. I'm finding that the weight of the water is making the bag hang too low on my back. I've got the bottoms of the shoulder straps attached at the bottom of the bag and I'm wondering if it would work better to attach the straps higher up. Does anyone have experience with this?

you could just keep the original bag in tact and add on to it. modify it. make it look cool. all the technical designing has already been done and road tested for you.

eitherway the idea with water is to 'hang' it. your bottom straps just stabilize it.

Glue the fabric to the existing frame, thats the best way to go.

Why don't you simply just try it and see ?

OK, so First, link the shoulder straps to your groin, like a mountain climber, but instead of around the legs, run it between your cheeks like a thong,

This has always worked for me, then when you find yourself in a dust storm, just hunker down and keep the hose dust free by forcefully shoving it into your rectum.

Remember to place sliced Lemmons/limes in a cheesecloth inside the bladder, to make your water taste more refreshing.

SO, when putting things into the impromptu cammel-toe Back Pack Snatch, the coolest thing is to mix your Kool-aid with your Playa Arms, all the way up, to the Biscuit Patch. :lol:

This way, you get cooled off whilst mixing a tasty drink, Plus I put the salt and electrolyte back in as my sweet tasty sweat gets recycled , :oops:

:arrow: Then if you are lucky, I'll let you lick my arm, All the way UP to the :oops:

Me, I like to skin mechanical toys...and usually I end up disposing of the skin. But to be the creator of the world's first "Suckle Me Elmo".....priceless. Just insert the CamelBak into the emptied-out toy or stuffed animal and suture up...For extra points, add a zipper or Velcro.

I gave a cousin's kid an 'I Wake Up Screaming' Elmo.
Much merriment all round, except the parents.

There's the 'Bubble and Toot' Elmo too.
