Trekking Pole DIY Hack on Zulu 30 (31:58):
Here's some description about the attach points that I used for the shock cord. Where the hip belt meets the pack there is a finger sized opening left by the way it is stitched, creating a ~4 inch/100 cm tube. I threaded the shock cord through this and tied it to create a loop in the hip position. I created another loop using a small gap at the sliding plastic piece for the chest strap. One could also use a gap in the plastic piece at the end of the shoulder strap where the webbing for adjustment runs. Be sure to use shock cord (stretchable) and leave the loops large enough so these areas are not stressed when the poles are inserted in the loops.
