I'll take the Tree Straps

Any final results on the M55 single layer?

So what ever happened with this M55 testing? Was a failure weight ever discovered?

I'm 5'10" and spent about 4 months in a nano7 without much trouble. Maybe I have no idea what I am missing...might just have to check one of these BIAS hammocks out.

OES makes top-notch tarps I assure you. My MacCat Deluxe has been the only peice of gear that has survived in my pack since I started backpacking seriously (eg: upgraded from blue tarps & byers...

+1 On the MacCats, had mine a couple years now and still goin strong.

I've got a carbon steel Mora lying around. I could do 15 shipped on it. Great knife, I just switched to a stainless model. I've had most of those knives and unless you're using it as a pry bar, the...

Thanks John, now as far as the direction for the shiny side of the IB, I have seen mixed opinions, and even on the packaging it says that the IB will reflect cold as well as heat. Do you think it...

So, I've been brainstorming an underquilt design, and went to get materials yesterday. I got 2.5yds each of: PolarLoft, One-sided PolarFleece, Insul-Brite, and Some windstopper ripstop nylon. In...

I used a rolled hem with a zig-zag stretch stitch to make my snakeskin on a lower tension setting...worked like a charm. At first I was putting paper towel under the mesh to keep it moving through...

Pretty awesome idea.

I think with a little ingenuity you could actually drop some weight with this idea by eliminating most of the shell fabric of the quilt. For example, you could use Twill on...

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.

So how about the synthetics...is there any real advantage to them aside from providing insulation when they are wet and being quick drying? And as far...

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone had some data on the weight difference between 600-fill and 800-fill down.

Say, for example, that I filled 2 similar quilts with the same volume of...

Count me in!

So I was thinking about a way to make some hammock insulation into something wearable. My skills are far from that point as far as sewing something like this, but maybe I could find someone that...

Is this the Steripen that takes AA batteries? Also, do you know if it will work in a Platypus Bottle?

I'll take the CA-265, sending a PM

Thanks Gnome!

Awesome...I can't watch the video (severely limited bandwidth up here), but I think I have a pretty good idea based on the description. Doing a few small stuff-sacks/etc before I tackle this bugnet...

I figure it would just be a rectangle about the same length as your tarp's ridgeline at somewhere between 7" and 9.5" in width. Sew the long edges together to form a tube, and then add a Roll Hem to...

Great DIY Instructions. Definitely going to borrow some of your design ideas for a full-size net...all the "sock" style nets seemed like overkill to me, the shockcord attachments across the bottom...

I've decided to give this project a try...couple issues though. First off, I only have 3 yards of .75oz no-see-um mesh (54" bolt size). I don't have the time to order another 3 yards, but I could go...

I'm actually planning to spend 4 months wandering aimlessly on the Big Island this winter. Last time I was there a few years back was my first experience with ultralight hiking and I've been a...
