Adding a chest strap is pretty simple:
1. Use a length of line. Not pretty or elegent, but works.
2. Go to JoAnn Fabrics and get the clips and some webbing. Machinie sewing is neater, but this stuff can be hand sewn. When I day hiked a lot I'd look for clean backpacks at the thrift store and modify them. I've added chest straps, straps for sleeping pad/bedroll, etc.
