Hey guys. Okay, here's my idea and follow up question.
I am wanting to incorporate H3 Marine Chest/back into my hunting/camping/hiking. My plan is to make an attempt at making a custom Molly Pack that sits on the back of this. I have plotted potential spots on the back of the piece to rig hooks and/or braces to, but I don't want to even consider spending the money unless i am convinced that it will work.
I have several smaller packs that I can add onto this rig (if applicable) to form said molly pack. Potential weight on the back could be between 60-80lbs. Now, My question is... Would this piece of armor, after fiberglassed, be able to withstand the weight?
I know you guys are probably sitting there behind your keyboards thinking "This guy is Nuckin Futz!" I have been rolling this idea around in my head and I have yet to decide if I should try it or not. I wanted to get professional opinions first. I am also open to suggestions (if it will withstand the weight) on padding and/or a quick release.
