Big Sur here i come...
an REI Beast duffel bag
a Gregory Forester backpack
another huge load... everything and the sink...
so the bags are loaded into the FreeLoaders
then, i used 2 straps on each side crossed in an X
running from the frame of the BD to two of the outboard Ringlets in Devo Mod Job, SnapDeck.
both sides, in the same exact manner...
now bags are held in place with FreeLoaders, and secured to the frame of the BD with the straps from frame to deck.
now the cargo in the FreeLoaders does not sway around.
2xExtra bed roll...
i bought a new bed roll at REI, and discovered that i had bought a long length, compared to my old mashed down one... when i fold it in half its just about as long as my old pad...
then i had to laff, when i piled them together in triple... LUXURY!
so i decided what the heck... the BD can handle the volume, and they are not that heavy, especially compared to the bulk of other items, like laptop, batteries, wood burning stove, etc...
at first i had placed the roll along the length of the deck, but then decided it was a waste of space...
attaching the roll to the stoker bar is by far better...
now the deck is wide open... perhaps for a small duffel-o-fire wood for the tipi... maybe.
so its off to Big Sur
the weather is off the hook!
Monterey is 75F at the moment...
peace....d
