They outline the building process. And sell the materials..seems like easy to master. My only issue is that they don't sell the "reinforcement patches" they being only available in the...

Can't quite see it all, but....the corner joint looks to be made of aluminum. I'd keep an eye on that area for cracking of the casting.

you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a 4by post without some knots.. finding one with solid knots would be my goal. if you want to use a 4X4 post, I would suggest that you place a "stretcher" ...

P.S. after talking with R.A., I was so steaming angry that I went to their F.B. site and vented about their lack of help. a day later I received an email with perfuse apologies. but STILL, no...

I called a few weeks ago wanting to get permits for a hike. they seemed to have no idea! the person I talked with couldn't quite understand hiking/camping. I ended up calling a fed. ranger at, ready...

straight silicone can't seal properly. mix silicone caulking, thinned with mineral spirits until it's the consistency of olive oil.( it takes some time to get the two to mix) and with a small foam...

spraying on one side might be the best option. I wanted to have this so that I could lay my backpack on it and feel relatively good about the insects not getting on to it or shoes, etc.( scorpions in...

I want to treat a Tyvek ground cloth with this insect repellant( will probably use the kite building Tyvek) . my limited experience with Tyvek, suggests that it's not very absorbent. so my question...

congratulations on your retirement! you might consider a bit of DIY. as a starter you might consider making yourself a cuben tarp...the lay out is fairly simple and the weight savings considerable!...

early on I did search for that thread, but wasn't turning it up for some reason. I ended up using denatured alcohol....it was the only thing that was mentioned on that link , that I already had on...

went out for a short three day hike...night one I had to hang from trees. all the trees in this area are ozzing of pitch! I didn't fully realize that they would be such a problem. now the straps are...

yeppers, I always use 3-4-5. don't buy anything unless if you have to

Good luck on your commercial venture

I'm lucky to vacation winters, on the south side of JTNP, fun area . You might look into taking a hundred feet of mule tape to go with the hardware .

Well you've got shelter already covered....how about a blowup matterss? And something to heat up food, and a pot? Once you know what all you're going to drag along, it'll be apparent how big a pack...

increase the humidity in the house

the lesson , could well be- "Don't trust daddy!"

that seems like a very poor way to answer the tree damage quandary...the compressive forces are concentrated on to one or two sticks...mostly on the back side. not what I see as a good trade off,...

The 15-91 has been mounted to quite a few different cabinets... I would rexamine the wires that duck down to the foot peddle controller from the sewing deck. The folding in of the sewing machine and...

Draw string with omni tape diy... target range 30f

I was at a local sporting goods store yesterday....for the first time I saw led tent stakes. all I could do is shake my head.

a stand on top of a carpet will offer the greatest sound reduction.( or more layers) nothing will eliminate it 100%!...unless if you add DISTANCE from the noise

They,re probably using neoprene-not quite at the preformnce level I was hoping for. But might just have to settle for it.

took a look at -40's site...they don't disclose what it is they use for insulation. but might just dump the project into their laps if I get too close to departure deadline- thanks for the lead. I...

as the title suggests, I'm trying my hand at making an insulation outer covering for a water bladder. and need suggestions as to what mat'l to use. after visiting the various online water bladder...

If I were to buy only one quilt, it would be an under. A top simplely lays on top...not much work needed since gravity is lending a helping hand . but an under some sorta suspension system needs to...

tarp sold..t.y.

I'm not crazy...but I do have my moments! like my newest project. I want to build a dirigible. and since I'm building it for me, I want to save as much weight as possible- this by making it with as...

I'm trying to pare down on unused equipment and I have one MSR Isopr fuel blend canister, 8floz. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/msr-8-oz-isopro-canister-fuel/pid-528651 frankly I'd much rather give...

i liked using a sleeping bag. for car camping..my only problem was the location of the zipper. mine was on the side and it made getting in & out a bit of a pain. a center zip is almost like a quilt...

something to consider before you start to sew 'em......I've found that it's necessary to check the mesh orientation. I went the same route as you and merrily started to sew 'em to the inside of my...

Buried depth depends, a lot on the soil. If available, I would buy 10 ft long and bury 4. This just might be over kill,but it's a difficult job to do once...doing it twice would be a killer!

I finished a tq in the spring. it wasn't particularly easy but, modifying a sleeping bag might, well be cheaper but starting out with fresh mat'l a lot easier

if you wanted to get by cheaply, just go to rei and buy a few mitten hooks-modify as needed

70 times the ropes dia. sounds way overboard! in my readings I see 20-25 and if you want to over do things, go for 30 = 3.25 length bury for 7/64ths line- life just got a bit simpler!

cold outside air and humid air inside- is it possible that the tarp wasn't leaking?

we too have a preponderance of sap ooozing trees....i'm leaning towards, just making 'em cheap enough that you can get over tossing 'em after an outing. not green but it does cut down on the...

find a copy of "the complete walker" by colin fletcher. read it of course

hiya doc...grew up in busleton..your new hammock sounds like a great start!

great machine for the home hobbyist- that's the model I have, and I love it but I don't use it up to it's full potentional ! 33$ for a machine with so many unknows,coupled with that condition ( and...

no need to set the poles below the frost line- you're building a hammock frame,and not a permited structure!...just place a "spreader" between the two uprights and the load wil shift to ALL downward.

no need to set the poles below the frost line...just place a "spreader" between the two uprights and the load wil shift to ALL downward.

i'm confused- nothing really new to me! are you asking about the length of the trarp's ridge? or the length of the tarps suspension length?

i'm looking at compression sacs for my T&B quilts while hiking.( and motorcycle-camping every other night) ...with that in mind, can down quilts be compressed to the extreme and keeped like that for...
