phoenixlpr 0 #27 November 17, 2006 QuoteSince I have had a canopy backwards I got anohter container and have two ris so I am not swapping canopies anymore much less while still packed in the D-bag. Have you used a special "swap"-bag for that? I had 30+ swaps so far. I made a swap bag for that. Risers are locked against the top of the bag and D-bag can not freely move inside the bag either. There is still a little risk of incorrect re-attachment, so I repacked it if I had time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
