[pct-l] packs

inches which will give me a pack capacitty of 2639 cu inches.  And I really
wonder it that will be enough. I am also considering various ways the thing
can be loaded to make it more "square".  Any suggestions?

goforth [and others] ... i'm modifying my Frostline pack pattern to add 2" to
the sides, and am sewing a baffle panel inside the pack, 2" from -and parallel
to- the backpiece.  i'll stuff my sleeping bag into this 2" space, which
should 1) stiffen and "square" the bag, and 2) act as a lumbar/back pad [which
i'm leaving off for weight saving]  should have it finished next week or so,
if anyone is interested in the results
