Erl, I like the bar-tape idea. I always keep a black cloth roll around for
projects, so I'll slap some on the rack. I already have the straps zip-tied
down in the hopes of stabilizing them a bit..maybe the tape will help. I hope
so 'cause I don't know how to do the other ideas.

Hmm, sewing or adding buckle things..kinda outta my league. I suppose I could
lash it down with my bright red bungee net, but I might as well strap

I essentially have the same challenge with the small and large trunk sacks.
I use a small bungee to secure it to the rack in addition to the snaps
because washboard and rocks have a way of shaking those puppies off. I
imagine the issue is more frequent with the slicksack because volume grows

Years back I saw somebody sewed on Velcro in place of the leather snap
loops. I have that combo but have not done the mod yet. Sewing on webbing
and fastek buckles is another idea.
