How to fix that annoying issue of all those straps hanging loosely off of your pack. It’s way to easy to snag or get caught up in your own straps.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Scissors or Knife
- Velcro (If you’re unfortunate enough to have the kind with a sticky back just soak it in a Goo remover for a couple hours and scrape it off)
- Small sewing Kit (Needle, Thread, and Pins)
- Seam Sealer(Not Necessary)
- A hanging strap
Step 1
You have two ways to go here you can go, either cut off the part where it’s sewn over or take a knife to the thread holding it closed.
Step 3
You’ll need a small strip about an inch and a half long of both the parts of Velcro. They Can be as thick or as thin as you like. Make sure you have them facing opposite directions with a bit of overlap.
Step 4
You have the options here, you can either just sew up the whole thing and call it good, or use some form of seam sealer or glue to hold the whole mess together. I strongly recommend just sewing but if you don’t want to bother glue can work in a pinch.
Step 5
Fold the strap over the two pieces of Velcro and pin it together to make it easier to sew.
Step 6
Sew it up.
It doesn’t really matter how good it looks because most of the time you won’t be seeing your handy work.
Step 7
Roll it up and hook Velcro together.
It feels so good to have all those damn straps under control.
