Dry Bag Construction
Posted 03-30-2011 at 08:33 PM by koorbloh
Alrighty. I need some bags for Sunday's impending adventure.
So, I decided to stop talking about it and doing test bags (now that I have a mostly functional design) and finally make them.
Here's what I need to hold in each bag:
one rolled up hip wader. The idea being that once I can put my wader in there, I could put snacks, or a jacket, or something else if I wasn't planning on standing in the river.
So, here's my material
I did some measurements and planning
first cut! no going back now
zomg, this should be plenty big!
ya, plenty big for what I need them for.
now....I need to figure out how to hang them
*stay tuned, that should be coming soon

w00t!
Looking good.
Think about a harness system. Something so you can sling both bags over (so they use the weight of both to hold them down on the tail), but also able to disconnect. So maybe tied off at the rack.Posted 03-30-2011 at 08:39 PM by Mic

Looks good, I haven't been around much lately, so please let me know what kind of material, and how you are sealing the seams. I am changing bikes, and need something to keep my computer bag dry.Posted 03-31-2011 at 11:55 AM by RideSlow2004 -
it's vinyl coated polyester, and I'm using glue that's pretty specific to this material. Check my other blog posts, as all the blog posts I have on here are related to making bagsQuote:Originally Posted by RideSlow2004
