Very interesting.  I wonder how the group managed to obtain all of the
equipment needed to refill those racks.  But I see something else to
ask about:  The Gibson Girl looks like it's sitting in front of its
waterproof packaging and like it also has its wide canvas straps.  I
just bought a Gibson Girl with the straps but have not been able to
find a reference to how the straps were to be used.  Does anybody have
that information or a reference to a site with diagrams/pictures?

Thanks,

Clare  N2RJB
