Step 6Rigging the harness (yes, i said harness)
get your ratcheting come along. the way these work is that by operating the ratchet, slack is taken up in the line and shortens the length of the webbing. take the come along and put it together, creating a closed loop.
these will go in the can and act like shoulder straps.
cut two slits in the front of the can around where your pants pockets would be. feed a bit of the webbing through these slits and then tie the bit in a knot. this will keep it attached to the front of the can.
make a sturdy loop at the back top of the can. run the webbing through here to complete the straps. now grab your backpack and tape the webbing to its shoulder straps. this will allow you to have the weight of the pack resting on your shoulders and hips.
