Some questions Regarding Knapsacks.
« on: March 17, 2013, 07:16:04 am »
Hello folk. I since my last event finished my civil war kit by buying a knapsack and greatcoat. However I have come to find that by knapsack is mighty full with my Gum blanket, roll blanket and great coat. I have two questions.

A. Is there a specific way to possible folk the Great Coat so it does not make much space.
B. How do you roll your blanket so it is at the top of your knapsack. I have the proper straps but dont know thew way to fold/roll it.

Could you folk as well link some pictures of what it should all look like in the end? It would all be much apreciated.
