Ideas for a cheap, simple Pikau/Veshmeshok
OK, have not built one but wanted to make a thread for ideas on these handy wee things.
Firstly, don't ask me how to pronounce Pikau or Veshmeshok!
I saw pictures of different Pikau's in NZ hunting books and it seems Ridgeline used to do a fleece one.
Like the idea of a wee daypack kinda thing that is light enough that you can tote it around folded up in the big rucksack and pull it out for a day hunt.
The main contribution of this thread would be a recommendation to do away with any device to secure the top with, just borrow the idea of the Russian/Soviet Veshmeshok where a single, continuous bit of webbing is attached to either side at the bottom of the bag.
This becomes the shoulder straps once a hitch knot is formed with the loop, which slides over the top of the bag, tighten and et voila!
And where I bought mine from, for all the lazy barstards: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/produ...sack/64484(yes, I know, hideously expensive but I don't mind supporting them as they are cool!)
