Rigging Avalung Element to Backpack?
For anyone who has seen the avalung element in person, how does it attach up to the bd avalung-compatible packs? It looks like some sort of strap or zipper? It seems like it wouldn't take much work to rig it up to work with any backpack with a little bit of sewing skills. Can anyone who has seen one in person chime in.
Since I know someone will post about this...I assume the major safety risk of it not working is if it gets ripped from you or your pack in the event of a slide. I think that can be dealt with in an appropriate enough manner. The sling seems the safest from that perspective, but also by far the most inconvenient.
EDIT: I know that people have done this so I guess the real question that I have is do you buy the sling to rig it up or just element? Seems like the element would be the way to go, but for someone who has seen one I want to make sure it would be easily rig-able.
Rigging Avalung Element to Backpack?
I bought a stand alone element for mounting on avalung specific packs, and rigged it on my osprey kamber 42. No problem, and I’m sure it could be done with more style. I just put para cord around the pack straps in appropriate spots, and attached the distal end to a compression strap on the bottom corner of the pack.
