Extend the suspension rope running end toward the second stow loop located at the bottom left of the bag
body. To form the rope stows, make three accordion folds in the rope across the width of the bag to a point
1/2 in. from each edge of the bag and end the last fold on the bag bottom right. Secure each formed stow
with the retainer bands attached to the second stow loops (fig. 3-5).
