I added a thin pace of flexible / stretch plastic to my pack.
I basically make a extra large sleeping bag that is held together with duct-tape,,, my plan is to incorporate an inner and outer material cover to lesson the noise it makes.
Nothing worse than getting spotted by critters.
I had to add a couple of vent flaps to let the moisture out since its 100% air tight. Ha. Kind like a steam oven when the snow on the boots melt.
Large buttons seal the flaps when they aren't needed,,, the extra large design makes it easy to move around in side of it,,, that way I can pull the extra material over the vent pockets if its snowing or raining,,, kinda like a hoody cap to keep the crap out.
I tried the YouTube Bivy-wacks earlier this fall,,, way to small to get comfortable,,, nothing like having extra real estate when it's needed, Ha.
PS: Don't forget to add a larger shoulder and head hoody pull over as well,,, nothing like having all your gear with you under cover,,, dry and warm in the winter months and frosty cold wet part of the season.
1/2 pound all rolled up with boot lace,,, I call it the $2 hotel of good times.
