We had the same quandary having used duct tape and plastic bags in 1997,
2000 and 2002
Found a great oversize drawstring bag at
Armor Bags in Plant City, Florida
http://armorbags.com
or (800) 487-9485
They stock it as -
Drawstring Bag, 9.5 oz Rochelle
28 inches by 52 inches (Check that size against any laundry bag you find!!)
Color - Ivory (I think that was the only one available)
The cost was $9.99 each wholesale (since I was buying 40)
It is a heavy duty breathable bag.
Actually, they cal it a mesh but it looks solid.
It is used by most who buy them as a bag for leaf blowers.
We are having a local embroidery shop stitch names and such on the bags.
We tested several internal and external frame packs for fit on a sample they
sent before buying.
Sometimes on externals, you have to untie the sleeping pad and place in the
bag separate.
If you call - You cannot order off there web site - when the lady answers,
be sure to mention Philmont.
She has relatives who live in Angel Fire.
When I mentioned taking Boy Scouts to New Mexico,
she asked me if it was to Philmont!!!
