Ah. Thanks, this tells me I should give up on trying to get the blankets under the seats. Would have been nice, but I'll get over it.

The dry bags were a good idea, might work for the jacket. A (sleeping bag) compressor sack (straps around the girth) might be worth a try on the blankets to reduce the volume.

Thanks to all for the input. -mark
