BERGEN TAILORING (Back Cushion) From Donor Pack...bexbugoutsurvivor

[@adamhinds8352]

I love your ingenuity and the personal alterations your making to your gear very inspiring stuff Mr Bex

[@volleytheory]

I love these posts,sir. Tailoring your gear to fit your needs, I feel, is the best thing to do. So many feel like you’re destroying the gear. I say, get in there and modify to your own specifications! Well done, as always. Cheers!

Bex that is a grand job, great bit of problem solving and modifying your own kit, particularly the use of the awl. Before sewing machines folk had to have a cause and plenty of patience. Thanks for sharing and all the best mate.

Thank you 😋

Hello Bex and I think that is a very creative solution, to a problem which exists, which shouldn't and the Army dont have any comfortable bergens and I will copy this idea. Thanks for sharing

[@neilcastell6951]

cleverly done .... hadnt thought about finding a donor pack to use, when i did one previously i used a foam sitting mat covered in fabric,

[@bexbugoutsurvivor]

There is another solution coming up, that utilizes the pad, and modded strapping....For best results use a Berghaus, and keep the S90 as a nostalgic wall hanger....lol

He's definitely getting soft in his old age 😂 Lovely bit of work Bex and such an entertaining video as per usual. All the very best to you and yours 👍 👍 👍 😎😎😎

There's nothing like unnecessary discomfort when your young. With age comes wisdom, let the kids get the bergen friction burn....lol

£2 for a ton of strappage and clips is bargain enough, add zips , that back padding section and fabric for repairs and he may as well have paid you to take it lol, proper win Marra. 👍 I'd have gone a different route on the mod, clips all around and straps from the side ladders to lash to the pack, leaving it removable for use as a seat/kneel pad in camp, love the mod though 🤘

[@bexbugoutsurvivor]

Great idea

[@OldNavajoTricks]

@@bexbugoutsurvivor Got a couple of ny mods done today, proper free lid and added straps down the zip covers to strap a third rocket in the middle over the messing pouch, they continue up and also act as lid straps, will do a full vid once finished all mods 👍

I'd consider sewing those wings on 2 Edit (said that before cutting commenced) 👍

[@bexbugoutsurvivor]

I use a hippo belt modded on instead. (Slim hips, and enlarged gut)....lol
