Yea I agree too, that branch on the left in the first picture looks pretty dead! I would hate for something like this to happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcMzDt0na5U , way up in the tree...
Splicing Amsteel is fun!... so cut that section out and make a bunch of dogbones and continuous loops and then make a new whoopie. Win win
Doing a one night float Sunday to Monday with a couple of friends and the dog. Hopefully we will get some rain so the water levels will come up. If not looks like there will be more walking then...
working now. good to go
wont let me enlarge either
I like it!!! Ill take one section of camo on the left please!!! :) keep up the great work
Yes but the logic board on my computer at home took a dump and i have no way to load them :( As soon as I get my computer back up and running I will upload them. I have no way to do it from my work...
Ill be out there this weekend. Going with a couple friends to Mcafee knob for a hang!!! If we dont die from the heat :scared:
Okay i finished the 12x10 tarp without doors, got it sealed up and then we had a torrential down pour and thunderstorms with highish winds and the tarp made it though like a champ with out any...
Welcome from the Culpeper, Va area! You wont regret leaving the ground!!!
^^^:lol::lol::lol:
I think its more the scale of the project that seemed daunting to me! Its much easier to lay out and pin an under quilt then it is a tarp. And isnt there much more attention to...
Slow and steady wins the race. So I have only been able to work on it about 2 hours the past two evenings. I have gotten all my tie outs made, everything is cut(both sides of the tarp and the...
Yea, its just so upsetting :( but not all is lost thankfully i think most of it can be salvaged. This is the largest purchase that i have messed up. It is a baaaad feeling lol
Thanks for the info owlsnest! I didn't consider the weight of the coating. I did go with the xenon 5300 and love it. Great feel, seems durable but light and pack-able. Now here's the kicker... i...
That is awesome!!! This is something that they will remember for a long time, the skill and making their own gear. Its great to see them sewing and learning how to make goods from raw materials and...
anyhow I will post it here https://www.amazon.com/Excalibur-3926TB-Food-Dehydrator-Black/dp/B008OV4FD0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468351460&sr=8-1&keywords=excalibur+dehydrator This has great reviews...
EXACTLY I just posted one for a good deal on the Excalibur dehydrator that was 25% off and i got accused of spamming and my post was deleted. Just trying to help people out.
Be aware that this is considered spamming the website as people with prime accounts already know about all of the deals, according to outandback
Yea what everyone else is saying. Ive made four from that material now and it is great. No baffles, no mess, and easy to work with. Just lay it out, pin it up, and sew the perimeter. Im rough on...
Okay so I just got my order yesterday and everything looks great. The Xenon 5300 in dark olive is the perfect color and it is extremely slick! I made an underquilt last night for my roommate to get...
Views you will find once you start looking for a camping spot. Ive always had a pretty decent view when I am looking for that when setting up a camp site. Camped at little devils stairs 2 weeks ago...
Anywhere in the woods is a good place to practice hanging gear.(not being a smarta$$ :D) If you are worried about your gear holding up and making it, i would suggest close to your car. I see you...
Thats not the winter tarp is it? I dont see the doors. But I do like that color so that has reassured me a bit.
edit: nevermind I see how you have it set up and the extra tie-outs so you can...
Okay well I ordered the 5300 in dark olive, really the only mute color in 5300. Doesn't seem like its been used enough so I will review it when it comes in and let you all know. It seemed like it...
I would lean more towards durability. I want something that will hold up to the elements extremely well. The tarp I got first is an 8 x 10 that has served its purpose well but it is a heavier one...
im leaning towards a dark olive just because i think the would be the hardest to spot, maybe?
Yea I will wait and see if anyone has any info on using the type of fabric. But while I wait do you all have any recommendations on good mute colors that blend in with forest surroundings well?...
How do you like the Xenon 5300? Do you think it is the best option? except cuben fiber of course. I am getting ready to make one and am trying to choose a material
Yes I meant MYG sorry. Im not really worried with the sewing aspect but I do want something that will last me and is good quality. This is a large "investment" not just money (i know $70 isnt a lot...
I think I will go with that option then. Any drawbacks with it? rips, have to treat it often, anything? I know my friend had a silnylon tarp for about 2 years and one trip it started poor down rain...
I was leaning towards the XenonSil have you used that before? Is this a newer fabric? I dont think that i have heard or seen this stuff before
Sorry if this has been posted before but i couldn't find the thread. But I am going to make the winter tarp from MYOG and would like some input on fabric and maybe anything else i should know before...
Noooooo its unavailable now. That was a great deal on a large tarp :crying:crying:crying
yea most of my stuff sacks use old paracord I have laying around, cheap and accessible. again looks great
Good looking under quilt! That Climashield is some good stuff. I have recently made 3 UQ's out of that material. To help with keeping the insulation in place (I really doubt it would move though...
I currently only have 2. The very first one that I got was a jungle one from Amazon that served me very well for 2 years. I then began making all my friends DIY hammocks. I would then go camping...
wish I lived closer. sewing machines for $20 and looks like there is a lot to choose from. They are selling stoves for $50. Seems like a steal. Thanks for posting
I would say that it depends on the size of the game. Larger animals are going to require more rope/wire than smaller ones to trap.;) But if you meant tarp lines then a CRL (Continuous Ridgleline)...
I think im going to go without the cat-cuts, im not to concerned with the perfect pitch just with coverage.
Ahh that's so much rope!!! but that does make sense to give me more head room. I didn't even think of that. I may give that a try is the side pulls aren't enough
I think that if the foot end can become pretty closed off then i can just set up the hammocks depending on the direction of the wind. Based on what you all have told me I feel like this will work...
I'm sure it can be done but personally i think it would be much harder to hack a mummy bag versus a rectangle one. I did this with an old coleman bag i had and used it for about a year and a half. ...
I should be able to close it fairly well on the foot end? maybe? I was really trying to get something so that we could have fair coverage while hanging side by side if the weather did turn. I dont...
Well, thanks for the quick reply's and it looks like I'm going to be spending more money on hammocking stuff.:scared: I really want to get something large enough that way I/we dont have to worry...
I am in the market to get a tarp for my girlfriend and I. We each have a hammock separated with a spreader bar. I'm thinking of making one and found the winter tarp kit on makeyourgear.com, which...
First, I know that isn't a room you have in your house dedicated just for outdoor gear with a shopping storage rack... if so I'm extremely jealous that's awesome and is very organized. Secondly if...
Awesome didnt know that. Thanks Dave
Yea thats what I figured. I always use tree straps and have been hammocking for a couple years now and have yet to leave any straps behind...knock on wood. Will it kill a tree if you use ropes and...
Okay thanks for the reply. If you make a larger one for sale let me know!!! Great job on the tarp!
