put a piece around the shaft of the umbrella to make that part thicker so
that you can next..
Get velcro 2 sided strip and wrap around shoulder strap, the umbrella shaft
with the insulation over it...
Oh heck. Switchback even has trouble describing it. That's why I'm after him
to become the All Digital Pirate and Post Pictures!

Mean while you'll just have to goto his forum on postholer.com

and search for it.
