For the last few years, I've started collecting national park and trail patches. They're all the classic sew/iron patches. I've been planning to stitch them onto a duffle or tote bag, but starting thinking it might be fun to have them somewhere in my R1S.

My first thought is to add some loop strips to the inside of the frunk lid and add some hook tape to the patches themselves. Any reason that wouldn't work? I think the plastic lid should be fine for holding the adhesive of the loop strips, assuming I use some that are suitable for higher temps.

Any other ideas? I could do a fabric panel somewhere in the cargo area or seat backs, but I'm not sure that will be the most durable option. With this route, if I use an easily removable panel, I could actually stitch the patches on.

Anybody else do something like this? (not just with NP patches but other things?)

No suggestions, just wanted to say once again how jealous I am of all of you. Only place my R1T ever gets to go is sitting in traffic to work. 😆
If it makes you feel any better, most of my patches are from various trails in Great Smoky Mountain NP or the southern stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway. They're not from far away exotic places, except the one I just picked up at Mendenhall Glacier a couple weeks ago.

The material in the frunk is a tolex type, I bet using velcro would do the trick. If you want to hang them, look at using the "Command" strips.

I ended up buying rolls of 4” wide off-brand hook and loop tape. Hook side is on the back of the patches, cut exactly to their shape. The loop side is now in the frunk lid. Here’s the result, which I think looks pretty good. When I run out of space I’ll do another diamond around this one.

Clearly I’m a big fan of Rivian prioritizing the RAN route along the Blue Ridge Parkway! 😃
