The G90 Field Case

Executive Summary After building the G90 Manpack a few posts ago, I realized that there were use cases for something lighter and more adaptable. This blog entry describes a revised orange and black bag - rev.1 - that improves on the original coyote bag rev.0. You probably won't want to build this particular bag, but hopefully there are some learnings here that will help you develop a bespoke bag or manpack for your use case. I’m a big fan of chest rigs when I hike, and decided I could adapt an existing harness to a new bespoke bag created for the G90. By providing appropriate attachment points, the bag can be configured as a chest rig, or used as a general carry bag, or even as a backpack in a pinch. PALS webbing on the front panel allows removable attachment of any number of cheap  pouches for batteries and accessories, letting you dial the bag to the mission.  This results in a nicely integrated grab and go rig. Cable channels on the bottom and both sides allow routing of cables
