Yes. Yes, this. This indeed.Elleth wrote:It's occurred to me that one of the real benefits of the "strap through the center" model - especially when used with your skinny-sack Greg - is that the strap traps between a third and a half of the mass of the blanket between itself and the body: this pulls everything in much tighter, and keeps the entire mass of the blanket from swinging out behind you and throwing your balance off. While I've not tried it, I expect that simply fastening the stowed roll to the strap would lose a lot of those advantages.
