String comment = 'If you see my pix, I have a walmart daypack and a couple of hikes i've needed trekking poles, but only partly (maybe on the return), so I usually carry them on the backpack. I had a Chinese pack that had these rubber-band-like straps that secured the poles well and were quick-release, which is useful when out in the cold.
This pack doesn't have such straps, so I added some velcro cable ties, except those things are a hassle to open and close, and in freezing weather this is worse!
I was wondering if any of you know of some rubber loops that I could attach to the daypack to tie down the poles and allow for quick release?
There is so much equipment out there, somebody must have thought of this!';

'>>2718998
this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much!';

I just stick them in the side pocket and secure with one strap. Mine are pretty short telescopic poles.';

There’s also a method to secure them to your pack while hiking. Attach two by bungee cords with cord locks to your pack: one on the shoulder strap and another on the hip belt. Zpacks sells this as a kit, but it’s easy enough to make.';

'Bungie cord and locks. Works perfectly. Simple as.';
'Ski straps would work but they might be a little big. Very useful to have for a lot of things.';
'>>2718986
You don't need a waste strap on a pack that small. Run the hand loops through the strap on the bottom and use the top straps to keep them horizontal.

It's cheaper to make your own bungie chords. REI sells bungie chord by the foot and the end attaches are cheap as hell.';
