Lessons:

1. Need less black colored gear, more glow in the dark stuff. Packing stuff up was a PITA. Lost my pen (black) three times in the dark/dirt. Going to have to buy bright colored pens or spray paint them, LOL.

2. Non DEET mosquito repellent worked, but the mosquitos still would land on my arm 😬 (but not bite).

3. Headlamp is maybe too bright, worried someone would call 911 for the flashing lights on the hill. Or report an alien landing. 🤪

4. Mosquito spray does not work against pincher bugs/spiders/whatever the heck tried to crawl into my pants/underwear (!). Need to bring a packable chair.

Since I am pinning this to my profile, I am shortening it dramatically. To read the post in its entirety and understand exactly what I am seeking and the research I have done so far, please go here.

I love opera singers from prior to the 1950's. My favourite is Tito Schipa, and I am attempting to learn what he taught and how he learned. I have his ten vocal exercises but not the booklet that came with them. I wrote to Seth Riggs, who studied under him, but he never responded. I am now researching one of Schipa's most famous teachers, Alceste Gerunda (1847-1917) since he studied with him for six years. Gerunda's teacher was Saverio Mercadante. Gerunda himself taught at the Convitto Palmieri, which now olds the Bernardini Library, prior to opening his own school in his home. I wrote to the library but never heard from them. They have two books that interest me, namely "ALCESTE GERUNDA E LA SCUOLA LECCESE DI CANTO" by Silvia Mandurino (ITES 1969) and "IN MEMORIA DEL MAESTRO ALCESTE GERUNDA NE L'AVVIVERSARIO PRIMO DE LA SUA MORTE" by Giulia) Lucrezi (Palumbo. (I found the first online, and while it is fascinating, it doesn't contain what I need.) What I am seeking is anecdotes regarding his lessons, notes he may have written, books he may have used, the pedagogy he followed, etc. I am totally blind and live in New Jersey, America, so it's not possible for me to travel to Lecce. I posted to their subreddit, but I will leave this here in case anyone in the wider community can help. If you or someone you know teaches real bel canto (no scientific or modern ideas), I would love to hear from you.

Issue not apparent on this photo: Joining the handles and the rest of the bag was very messy. I tried to clone what is done on the Chicobag, but what is inside, what is outside, etc. was not clear to my befuddled brain last night (jet lag). So, I ended up with unfinished edges on the OUTSIDE of the handles. I fixed all of that by wrapping the edges a few times and hemming them closed, but it was not very elegant, AT ALL.

On the other side of the bag, I had to sew another piece of cloth across a massive rip in the bag. There was a rip in the fabric, and I didn't notice it. (the ripstop was 50 cents as a remnant, for that reason).

The edging on the Chicobag is very neat... I think it's separate edging sewn around the edge of the bag. Mine is just stitching of the material, which is not very neat and not very elegant. #lessons

Lessons:

1. Duct tape and attic insulation (or padded envelope) version is a lot easier to construct. That's what I usually use for this. Also, very repairable (slap more duct tape on it when needed, ha ha). I decided to sew a bag because a big insulating and reflective bag, while great for SOTA/hiking/POTA, not great for possible need to put this on a plane.

2. Figuring out the 3D of a bag with seam allowances is definitely more challenging.

3. Transition between bag and edge, edge and lid are iffy... lack of experience and understanding how those are handled. it's a lot easier to clone things than try to figure it out when you have zero experience in how things are done. I'll get those, eventually.

Probably should scout up some patterns for equipment bags for some of these issues. 🤔
