- One trick I've used is thin shock cord ( about 3/16 inch ) with some
small plastic hooks on the ends. Get about 10- 15 ft and hook one end
on the kit, then wrap it around the attachment of the main strap of
your harness, pass it across the back of the harness and wrap around
the other main strap attachment. Do this 3 or 4 times such that you
get slight tension in the cord when the harness is loose. When you
put the harness on and buckle up the tension will increase and hold
the pack close to you. The thin shock cord comes in really handy to
keep things together if you decide to derig and paddle in.
- You can get both the shock cord and small nylon hooks at REI.
