If you see my pix, I have a walmart daypack and a couple of hikes i've needed trekking poles, but only partly (maybe on the return), so I usually carry them on the backpack. I had a Chinese pack that had these rubber-band-like straps that secured the poles well and were quick-release, which is useful when out in the cold. This pack doesn't have such straps, so I added some velcro cable ties, except those things are a hassle to open and close, and in freezing weather this is worse! I was wondering if any of you know of some rubber loops that I could attach to the daypack to tie down the poles and allow for quick release? There is so much equipment out there, somebody must have thought of this!

>>2718986Get some molle bungees.
>>2718998this. any small bungee cord will do. they make some very short ones which are great for day packs
>>2718986Noose knot with a slip on static cord, wire or ducttape
>>2718986Ask your s 0 ybot to hold them for you
>>2718998this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much!
>>2718986I just stick them in the side pocket and secure with one strap. Mine are pretty short telescopic poles.
>>2718986There’s also a method to secure them to your pack while hiking. Attach two by bungee cords with cord locks to your pack: one on the shoulder strap and another on the hip belt. Zpacks sells this as a kit, but it’s easy enough to make.

Bungie cord and locks. Works perfectly. Simple as.
Ski straps would work but they might be a little big. Very useful to have for a lot of things.
>>2718986You don't need a waste strap on a pack that small. Run the hand loops through the strap on the bottom and use the top straps to keep them horizontal.picrel.
>>2718999It's cheaper to make your own bungie chords. REI sells bungie chord by the foot and the end attaches are cheap as hell.
