Mending and upgrading my kanken

It’s been a while that I’ve owned a kanken. But I miss a backpack that’s lightweight and small but spacious. Inspired by different posts, I’ve bought a cheap one from vinted for 10€. While it was in decent shape, the bottom, back and strap attachments were a bit worn.
So using the fabric of a freebie bag, I reinforced them. While I was at it, I added a keystrap in the front pocket and a slippocket on the inside. I’ve also DIY a seatpad from packing material, because the original pad was missing.
Don’t mind the loose thread, I was over it half way through. Sore hands aside, I’m quite happy with the results.
