    Yeah that was me that recommend What 3 Words great app. Love that set up mate. I've got the British Army Goretex Bivvi bag, just found a great tip on a channel. So today I replaced the Draw cord with Elastic rope and a fastening to keep it clinched and dead easy to cinch up now. Keep up the amazing work mate.

      I taped the Elastic rope to the existing drawcord and started pulling it through, unfortunately it came off halfway through, so just pulled out the existing drawcord and found it quite easy to feed the elastic rope through by feeding it through like a drawcord on a hoodie or tracksuit bottoms. I used about 7ft of elastic rope. I would love to get a zip put in though. ​@@outsidertank
