It may sound confusing at first, so refer to the attached picture. Also picture is not drawn to scale. Idea.jpg is the drawing without the canopy and the covers undone, just showing the lines. Idea2.jpg shows what it looks like with the covers closed over the lines and the canopy in the tray.
Alright, trying to redeem myself from that last one, I thought of an idea to reduce if not get rid of line twists and 180's. The idea, is to stow the left riser and right riser line sets separately, to prevent any kind of twists.
First taking the left riser line set and running a figure 8 in an up and down relation; up towards our heads and down to our feet. It is placed on the left side of the container. The same is done on the right. Then you have a long flap that folds from the inside to the outside covering the lines and two locking flaps that slide into slits in the container. The lines then meet at the bottom of the tray.
The part where I marked the end of the risers was kind of mistaken. I am not sure how far down into the pack tray they run, but run them as far down on the left side, then figure 8 on the lines on top of it, making sure that the last loop is going down and coming out from under the flap at the bottom of the tray.
Theoretically, you should have a very very slim chance of line twists or 180's. Let me know what yall think, I am curious to know on this one!
