RE: [A/S] Re: Rock Tamers

I welded a receiver cuff on the top front of my Hensley to store the
"Stinger" in when not in use. I use a lockable pin to hold it in place to
prevent theft. I then went to my local canvas shop and had a cover made that
covers the stinger (to protect from grease when walking around the area),
and had the cover to include all the Orange area of the Hensley. It has two
straps with snaps to hold in in place.
