Idea: Beta-TNT
The Tasmania Tiger TT TAC Pouch 11 has been released for a long time. I believe your first impression of it is “a perfect small pack for EDC”: compressible 5L volume, central main zipper and bottle pockets.
Except one thing: it has no sling or shoulder strap, the only way using it is attaching to a vest/body armor, or to another big backpack.
I think it’s the very reason why all the resellers I know stop restocking it, as well as its successor TT TAC Pouch 11 MK II.
I got one at a price far lower than MSRP, the reseller was clearing out. Before I got it at hand, I started planning the modification already.
Sling
It is a small pack, so sling works better than shoulder straps. I design its sling system as below:
- Apply the DLL Modular Sling System I made years ago, and use the pouch lower ride adapters as the sling connecting point at the pack top.
- Utilize the webbing rings holding compressing cord at the bottom corners as the sling lower connecting point.
- For bicycle riding, additional stabilizer strap is required.

Backpad
Well, it’s easy to solve: Haley Strategic Flatpack Backpad can do the trick, or its next best replica.
The Result
