Army Surplus Backpack Pannier

Step 6 Done!

Now the pannier is complete. The backpack hangs on the four clips and shows no signs of breaking or falling off, even when filled with heavy stuff. The pack is held on pretty tight, almost too tight, since it's kind of hard to get the last ring clipped on or off and it can be tough to fit large objects into the bag. But it's better than the backpack flopping all over the place and it is possible to leave some of the outer rings unclipped in order to let the backpack expand and hold more.

Thanks for reading!

Where did you find those flat clips?

The clips came off of another army backpack I had (my first attempt at the pannier). It had these removable shoulder straps with those clips holding things together. I just sawed them off.
