Holy Shat! If I carried all that crap, I would need to have my bike sprung for an extra 50bls. I would not be able to stand very long blazing across the desert with that extra weight. All that stuff and you still needed to be towed
You think you would be able to rebuild the bike from ground up with all that.Carry On!
Carry On!
Try switchbacks .....
.... 
I had a similar amount of tools AND 5 gallons of water on my back...
that was hezzyI'm still old school and working the fanny pack with the tools. Keeps the weight low and not making me top heavy for throwing the bike around...Yeah, I slimmed down a bit ..... i went back to the camelpak and packed tools sparingly...tire irons, pump, ties, stuvv like that. Now I need to figure out a way to keep the shoulder straps from slipping down between my shoulder pad and neck...

No spare tube, or items to change it out. I don't think I'm the one that's crazy here. Also, 32 ounces of water is nothing. Just sayin.
Carry On!
I will forever be the heal of that one. I am an ASS because I didn't know my bike.
OYeah, I slimmed down a bit ..
Intigrate the straps with the roost guard. You can also get Velcro straps to hold them in place or rivets for a perminant type of system.

Yeah, I was thinking velcro straps...I did the zip tie thing but no way to get the thing on/off...
i tried the fender pack and every whoop and bump i hit made my fender rub ... drove me nuts so it got mounted to the outside of my camelback i use to use.
Also it is not understood how well the vest distributes all the weight. on T-day i had roughly the same weight as my camelbak... i added a few things so a little more weight in the vest yet it felt like i was carrying half the weight as when i had the camelbak

I went and checked them out...found one by FOX that I liked ...could put the heavier stuff in it (tools) and leave the pack open for
Rez, before you shell out clams for a fanny take a look at my old one. It is new and rather sweet. Attaches to a backpack as well. Maybe a trade for your husky pack is in order, I did pay like 70 bucks for it. I'll post up a pick when I get home. Or I could drop by your office at lunch tomorrow.
