OK im not sure if im posting this in the right place. im looking for someone who can make me a supershelter for a hh safari deluxe i contacted hh and they dont make one to fit the safari and when i asked if they could make me one custom? they replied no so im looking to have one made and i am not the best sewer in the world. thanx
The super shelter is a very non-intuitive design. I have tried to make one on occasion but rapidly gave up. Without taking mine apart, which I am not about to do, I don't know what the basic pattern looks like. I would advise investing in a KAQ or making one yourself. The DIY skills are not hard for a synthetic quilt. Either that or mod an old sleeping bag. I replaced my safari with an Explorer specifically so I could get a Super Shelter.
HH does not do custom work. If they can't get it done in quantity its not worth doing, or so they think.
So what if you're not the best tailor in the world. You have the idea what you want. Draw it, lay it out and figure out what goes where, and what you'll need for supplies then get it on! In the end, does it really matter that the thing isn't a work of world class art? YOU made it by your own by god self and the heck with the critics. Functional beats beauty. 'Course, if ya don't even have a sewing machine, then thats another story.
have a sewing machine but no experience sewing. dont even know if the thing works right. just want the security of knowing it wont all unravel on a trip.Quote:

There are other UQ availiable but the JRB Nest and Winter Nest marry right to the HH slit... no other system, including the HHSS, offers this convience.

I have this one and a HH SS, and don't use either one. I think they are over rated and to much hassle in my opinion.
