Great work. Makes ya wonder if LWCG is watching this forum to find out how they can improve their own platform.
Indeed...
Cody and Pops...I recommend a platform that approximates the size and shape of the OOAL rrXL, maybe 14" W x 16" L, with a detachable post or a removable offset bracket, designed for use with a custom pack with a frontal pocket to slide the platform into so that it acts as a bit like a frame sheet, perhaps something about the size of a Kifaru X-ray with the same or similar well designed lumbar pad and channel vented back pads and omni belt. (Maybe just work with them and don't go heavy on markup).
We'll want to no stick with this platform, but you'll want to avoid the lability of our stupid asses. So, include a clever stirrup system or lashing solution for sticks and what not on each side....but...absolutely, don't forget a single rear pocket for the saddle (who wants to wear that in 2+ miles) and 2TC system.
I'll be lashing on my bibs and coat, but these southern folk won't need all that, so some compression straps are appreciated north of the Mason Dixon.
Also, I'd be obliged to have a couple bottle holders...one for cider, one for an empty which may or may not be filled by days end.
Thanks.
PS, don't patent hawk this saddlehunter.com vultures. This is between us and Cody and pops. Lol.
