: I thought about all this before joining my hull and deck since I planned to
: do a lot of camping and I have no hatches or bulkheads. But, I was afraid
: that I might get a foot or something tangled in a line one day making a
: wet exit and opted to skip it. When I first tried stuffing three drybags
: in behind the cockpit, along with the float bag, I thought I was screwed.
: The harder you push on the bag, the fatter it becomes and won't budge.
: *But*, there is a technique!

: Well, this works on the Mariner bags, as they are made of heavy material and
: are quite easy to slide in. Momentum is the trick. Get the end bag
: positioned with float bag on top, and slide them all the way in quickly
: and together. I find using my paddle works best on the aft end. I do have
: a hand hatch forward, which is just in the right spot. I've never tried
: loading without using it. I'm sure using the cords would make it easier,
: but I'm still not fond of having lines in there unless they can be secured
: in some way. (I figured Shawn would have that figured out.)

Yeah...bulkheads!
