Got to run now. I will do a better job of explaining tonight. Thanks for all of your info. Regards.

Hopefully Montana in February. Elsewise the Texas Panhandle (Think Lonesome Dove) (And possibly I might just be a gear junkie.)
I guess whitis is off the net. Can anyone else offer insight into the needle size and how much spacing between the top to bottom of the bag threadless needle holes I need to put in the Adventure...

Sourdough (or should I say "Mr. Boots") could I impose upon you to call up or email SJJ and get his thoughts? Sounds like he may have already solved the entire issue. You can feel free to mention...
Owl I think you are right on and it was Rick that pointed out this very idea that started me on my quest. Lots of open ventalation down low on the sides and all over my trunk. Since the holes are...

SJJ is not accepting PMs.
But Rick came up with the answer that I will try on my "sack"rificial $7 mylar bag:
intake vents ( say knife blade wide by 2-3" long then skip an inch, etc.) low along...
I did about 10 search combinations trying to find this topic without success. Rick, I apologyze if my search skills suck and this needs to be moved.

Another Alice/Mole Mod: The Alice top flap.
I have never liked the small velcrow closed opening to the standard Alice top flap. I suppose there was a reason they made it that small but it is a big...
Another Alice Mod: additional outside pockets.

Excellent pictures. Reminds me of my days ,about a hundred year ago, as an Eagle Scout and Scout master when work vacations were reserved for Troop trips. Thanks for the memories.
