Ultimate Hack for REI Nylon Backpack Straps

This is a very simple video about nylon backpack straps; you know the ones used to hold on a sleeping bag on the old time frame packs. I needed new ones so I went to REI and bought some. They now come with these rectangular plastic things on them and I was wondering what they did. They never had them before so what function are they serving? Why haven't they always come with them? Why hasn't someone thought of this until now?
I used them on my pack and got the answer. The reason they have not been used until now is that they are worthless. In this video I quickly show you the fastest way possible to make them more functional. After watching this video you will be able to make nylon backpack straps work like they did in years past.
