Hello, my equipment's finally arrived, all of it's from Soldier Of Fortune, everything was great, although the webbing was confusing, so far I have fitted everything except the large pack which came with the set, I've looked for pictures which show how to use L straps with the large pack, but they make no sense, I've already searched for people who've asked the same thing and it directed me to this picture.
I can see how to attach the large straps, but where do the smaller ones go, there's no buckle or place to put the smaller straps on my large pack?
(Edit: The same goes for a pair of utility straps which came with the set as well, if I decide to use the utility straps where do the other ends go?
)
Any suggestions?

Pictured is a small pack. They have 1" buckles on the bottom to accept the L straps.
With a large pack, you won't want to take that into combat, you need to purchase 2 auxiliary straps. You may have noticed them crossed over the large pack holding a tin helmet in place. Tin helmet or no, you need them to use L straps with a large pack.

Are there any pictures that show this please, I've looked and haven't found such examples, also I have no other pack to hold my equipment in.
(Edit: Do auxiliary straps mean the same thing as utility straps and look like this?

This is my kit for Jedburgh (a past event). I can't remember how I did it exactly..! I think I attached the utility straps to the L-straps.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

You can see how the utility straps fasten to the top of the pack. Feed them through the loops at the base of the pack before you thread them through those top buckles.

If you played with your equipment and looked at pictures of the Large pack being used with the Steel Helmet in the Straps you trap it in you would soon work it out it is not Strategic Rocketry we are posting about.
That is Old School, how we did it before the internet or easy access to groups, you learn stuff that you won't forget Comrades, when you work it out yourself .
Details if insignia or OoB then you ask, how to put your 37 pattern Equipment together, HET!, how you do up and make the shoulder straps on a Meshok, that I give you you need to be shown. 
That was how I learned to put the rest of it together, just examine everything closely and then experiment I just found putting the large pack together very confusing at the time.

Comrade, when I was seven it took me a while to work out the brace ends pass through a tunnel loop under the buckle of the Universal Pouches, but I worked it out without having to ask, it helps your life skills to learn such things as looking and experiment.
Too many now use go to a forum, and ask silly questions and learn little on how you work stuff out.
To be fair, some things are completely baffling - ermmm... fitting a Thompson sling for example, or stripping down a Tanaka K98 (hidden screws). And many a chap has gone onto the battlefield with pouches hooked up wrong and braces akimbo (and why not, it isn't obvious from photos and it sort of works fine done wrong). I once trotted out onto the battlefield with a newly purchased canvas AK chest rig - the simplest of bits of kit - attached completely wrong. All these things above I have had help with from others, either face to face or via interwebs. Never be afraid to ask I say, even the simplest things can be baffling or just plain don't make sense!
