Try golite, the jam comes in a 35L, 50L, and 70L. Also on the same sight, the pinnacle. Jam was voted best all around pack in one of the backpackers magz and its the cheapest, plus they have a 50%...
does anyone know how many feet/yards of ripstop i should use when making this handy device, if you happen to have a pattern that would help as well :)
I am looking at making my own down under quilt,3/4 length. Is the gap only a problem at the foot end or should a draft tube be made for the head end also?
I might just have to pick me up a roll of this, anyone know if they offer solid colors? I don't mind the camo but would prefer no print.
I found a site earlier this year that sold closed cell foam for sleeping pads of the roll so you could order custom sized pieces, I have forgotten the site however, does anyone know what im talking...
I love my 0* TQ, I have 20 oz. of the 850fp and am sure I could go well below zero, after seeing all of these people with quilts with 21oz, I'd say we should start a 20 and over club lol. Still...
Has anyone checked if Noah Lamport has ripstop for a good price, I bought some good quality Sil from them at $3.00 a yard which is really good. Since Sil is usually way more than regular ripstop,...
Just got my quilt in the mail today, just in time for my birthday party might I add. Friggin 850fp, just barley got it :lol: so far nothing but pleased with the birthday gift to myself and cant wait...
What is the weight on that webbing, not the break strength but actual weight
How do you get them? Is there an equation to figure out the depth or whatever and how do you pull of a cut like this on longer edges, say 3yds?
Ok, i had an idea what the differential cut on the inner and outer shells was but wasnt sure on the baffles, thanks :lol:
What does the differential cut in underquilts do? And what is it and how do you do it?
What is the difference when making a full underquilt and a 3/4 under quilt?
Could you just extend the 3/4 to the length of a full?
Those disposable ear plugs work great if you put them in your nostrils at night:lol:
How about being in a field?Or a big unanticipated sign that says
WARNING:
NO TYING TO TREES
FINE $150
+1 to this also
according to this equation the burrow is good to 14* so its pretty close
It really depends how long your staying up here and what your accommodation are. Ending the hike in September, if you stay any later than November you will probably want that winter UQ, might get by...
You do have a point, would be a good way to get in contact with local hangers
I have fallen out of my hammock once but have never witnessed a 'steel hill' haha, just messing with you. I wasn't sleeping however, never done that. Its possible you were sleepwalking!
So how much would it differ from that, im sure the sleeping bag companies account for the insulation under you being compressed
Ok thanks for clearing that up, so i could use sil for my down quilts but had should make sure to use it on both sides of the quilt as to not catch vapor inside the down.
I could use a layer of...
Is Sil downproof?
Also would it be good for the outside of a winter topquilt or under quilt?
How do you determine warmth of Karo step quilts
There is a place in Canada(http://www.featherind.com/purchasing-information.html) that sells it, $35/ 2lbs, however I have no idea how much shipping is from Canada to the U.S.
U.S.P.S ships to...
So... Where does everyone get their down from. Information for both buying in bulk and in small amounts would be great. Thanks in advance to everyone who posts :lol:
Love the quilt, looks like an oven:)
Question, have you noticed any difference in performance between the Karo and the typical baffle system?
Ive been thinking about putting tie outs on my Hennessy 12'x10 tarp, how would you guys suggest attaching those, there are some Grip clips on JRB, should i just get those?
Not that they need to be any lighter or less bulky
Would it be possible or functional to just make the whole thing out of grossgrain. Since the tie outs are probably putting most of the stress on the GG lining the triangle, If you just had the...
So... when making the asym i could just take a piece of Sil nylon that is 68" wide, cut it two 3 yards, or 9', roll hem the edges and sew the tie outs, then the opposite corners attach to the trees?
Good for you man, glade you got it figured out
Thanks for the input, I'm trying to save on weight so i think ill just roll the edges but I might use the grossgrain approach if I ever make a more heavy duty winter type tarp.
Ok, good idea, thanks for being helpful :)
Is it necessary to put some type of lining on the edges of a DIY tarp? Would I be alright if I just put it through the surger?
My names wolfegang and I hammock, there for, "The Wolf in a Hammock"
I've always had a camp fire. I would even have one while solo camping, just a small one though. The camp fire has always given me a sense of security. If your worried about burning holes in your...
I hear you on that, we have the same problem here in Michigan
As there are a couple of different asym tarps out there, how do they compare to other tarps? I am planning on making an asym tarp from some Sil and was wondering if I would be wasting my money. I've...
The Wolf In a Hammock, I'm maybe, probably noob to a couple times
Happy New Year Every Body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im a bit confused with this equation, are you multiplying the length and width together before you divide everything else by it, resulting in this equation
(Fill power x Ounces down)/(LxW)
or are...
You can get insultex here http://diygearsupply.com/
I made an under quilt and top quilt and they work pretty well so far
Also, how beneficial would having a down quilt with DWR ripstop be?
How much does overstuff in a down quilt (top or under) actually effect its performance?
Probably just make an asym tarp from some Sil and definitively make a pair of grizz beaks because after ordering my TQ I'm not gonna have enough money to buy something professionally made lol
Does anyone know of specific advantages and disadvantages of polyester and nylon for tree straps and other applications?
I'm a maybe, might be getting a new job and don't know if I can get it off so soon
