Hi, I recently ran into the problem of having to take along both my ruck and my small pack (common thing i think). At the time I had to have everything in my ruck, and the small pack would be rolled up and placed under ruck sack lid. Two problems with this was that it took extra time to transfer stuff into my smallpack for patrol, and the other problem was rolling up the small pack would temporally mess it up.
One of our Parade nights our platoon commander showed us an example of a ruck that had side release buckles sowen to the top part, and receiving snaps on the small pack so that the small pack could be quickly attached to the rucksack, and then you can just drop your ruck at camp, and snap off the small pack and your ready for a patroll.
Now I have not been able to get another look at that example, and don't remember how they did it, but i know i have permission to do it, so has anyone here done it or know how (like were exactly to attach buckles, at both ends)? I recently bought a bunch of these of CP gear. http://www.cpgear.com/default.asp?mn=1.19.56&f=pd&pid=275 I plan to also use some of these on the other ruck straps. I know i could probably get a look at the ruck next parade night, but i have some spare time right now that id like to do this in.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
