I couldn't tell very well,but were you putting a single diamond on top of the pack,or just kinda your own deal?

If you are into Diamond hitches,here is something you might try.It can be a single diamond on top or a double. The caribiners act like pulleys and you can really cinch a load down good and tight, and you don't have to thread the lash rope thru anything.
