I did a camelbak mod to my fade bag

I hope this is a worthy first post. I know some of you guys have been trying to figure out how to incorporate a camelbak bladder to a bag so here is what I did. Found a camelbak unbottle 100 at goodwill for $6!! Bonus because its the same color as the fade bag. Velcro strapped it to the existing d rings for the shoulder straps. I wore it around the house for a bit and its comfortable. More padding on your back than the bag provides. Of course its heavy because it has 100oz of water in it. I'll try it at the course tomorrow and let you know if it needs any additional mods.

That's a pretty good idea. I've thought about adding a bladder to my backpack but I've never seen it done on a standard bag like that.

Looks like it could provider some nice lumbar support. Now what are you going to use those two pouches designed to carry two 40oz water bottles for?

I knew someone would ask. I keep a speaker in one pouch, and I like to keep my towel stuffed in a pouch to keep it from dragging in the mud/dirt.
