    Cactus Miklat mods

    Has anyone had some modifications done to their Miklat pack? Really want to have an extra pocket on the back, like the Mollyme pouch or similiar. Just looking for ideas as its a great pack, and need a little more room. Thinking if my jacket could be stored in a pouch externally, I would gain more room internally.

    When I had mine I just put a bungy on the front using the tabs from the compression strap buckles. Great for jacket etc once pack full off meat!

    Sternum strap is a must, I got a small open-topped side pocket and a crampon pad with bungy cord added by Twinneedle.

    Gets to be an expensive pack once you pay for modifications though considering the very basic harness. Mine only really gets used for work in the bush now, Stone Glacier is just a much better hunting pack all round

    What stone do you run? Love mine thinking of adding another one at some stage

    Mint I have the evo 40/56 and it's pretty much perfect for me usually us it with the lid inside making it about 65L but top expands out to 90 if I need it. Have thought about adding another bag as fins the bag pretty full at times when all the kit comes. Plus I've had it 4 years now surely it's time to test something else out. I still have my Cactus but it's really only used by friends who don't have gear.
