Hi All, I recently acquired an older Dana Design K2 T1. I am looking for some input on pack adjustment and for a potential load sling. In the following two pictures I am looking at pack adjustment. In the first, I assume this is as long as the pack can be adjusted for torso length? And in the second, where are the lower end of these stays (the yellow wrapped portion) supposed to be adjusted? I presume they are designed to move some of the weight forward onto the more frontal portion of the hips? [img] https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-...AAgs/cHRe8nF_pro/w763-h572-no/2013-07-10[/img] [img] https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...AAgw/GmVCwXaRUcQ/w763-h572-no/2013-07-10[/img] In this photo, how would you think it might be possible to attach a load sling? The tapered portion at the bottom seems to complicate the issue. . . I am thinking a rectangular portion attached at the lower full width cross bar, slung low and attached at the lowest point, then folded back up to attach to one of the upper bars? If that makes sense? [img] https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...AAhM/80oGKtFdWZ8/w763-h572-no/2013-07-10[/img] Thanks for any input guys and God bless you! Adam

Obviously not your pack, but might offer some helpful tidbits.... ![[Linked Image]](http://cache.backpackinglight.com/backpackinglight/user_uploads/1305769850_43282.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://cache.backpackinglight.com/backpackinglight/user_uploads/1305769923_43284.jpg)

My next upgrade will be the prairie belt too. The Dana belt is so thick and bulky. I haven't packed much with it yet, but have a feeling I won't like it. Just have to stomach the extra 100 bucks cause I think they finally have those smaller 27 inch belts in stock.
I really like my osprey aether belt. Thin and form fitting. It seems like pack makers try and use thick foam to make up for a bad fit.
