Backpack Cover

Use clear or colored polyethylene plastic sheeting 4 to 6 millimeters thick. Cut a circle about 48 inches in diameter. Lay strong, 14-foot cord around the edge ofthe plastic and fold a 1- or 2-inch hem. Pull cord fairly tight after pack is covered. Tie ends of cord together.

This cover also makes a good washbasin, a quickie poncho, a firewood cover, and a tablecloth.
