I recently ordered from Noah Lampart at $3/yard. I was able to buy what was left on the roll, 13 yards and avoided the cutting fee. Shipping is a little high but still works out to be a good deal if...

Stupid me....just viewed it in Gallery. That looks awesome. I think I may have to give it a shot. Thanks for the idea.

I know what you mean about the DIY, it is definitely addictive and provides a great sense of achievement.
Sadly cannot see the picture that you have posted.

Loop turner......Walmart sewing department. Couldn't believe how easy it was with one of these. Just squeeze the Amsteel to open it up.

Very practical. I like it!

Thanks. It is synthetic. Climashield Apex 2.5

I haven't made a stuff sack yet but if I scrunch it up about football size but figuring smaller in a sack.
Not sure on the loft, someone else may have a better idea. Most of what I have read rates...

Walmart sewing section, was kind of hard to spot. It makes DIY whoopies a breeze.

Looks awesome. Congratulations.
I just put together some DIY gear as well and it makes the hang extra special to know that you made it.

Check out Enlightened Equipment Revelation X.
There is a video review that was recently posted also. Costs slightly less and there is an overfill option.

Very nice. A tarp is on my list also, I hope it comes out as good!

Thank you. I will definitely try it.

Good video of simplifying the seam. Is it possible to get the sil to fold as she does in the video? I don't think you can iron sil can you?
Thanks.

+1 on the Loop Turner. Makes it super easy!

Just spent 2 nights in a black 60x126 that I sewed up the ends and ran whoopies through them. I found it to be very comfortable and I like the support that the fabric seems to give when you lay in...

+1 just received my order.:)

I didn't use under insulation, it didn't get that cold but I did notice a cold spot around my shoulders for a while. I was quite surprised as the temperature was around 58-60 degrees. Next time I...

Very nice. I have a black one coming. It is good to see someone showing what the tablecloth hammocks look like.

I am hoping for a 2 nighter in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I will sleep better.

Thanks. I am going to DIY a summer top quilt which should help knock about a 24oz off by ditching the sleeping bag. I have moved to an alcohol stove so another 8oz.
Biggest issue I have is that I...

I was boiling and I had some purification tabs as a back up. Just as well because I forgot to mention that my stove quit the first night also.
I will definitely look into a filter but lack of...

I can highly recommend Arrowheads whoopie sling kit, it is hard to make it yourself for the price.

Sounds like a good setup I will look into. My biggest problem was that I only had 2 x 1 liter bottles to carry and I just needed more capacity as water sources were too far apart and the weather was...

I just wanted to say thanks for the wealth of info on this forum, more than enough material to gather the knowledge to venture back out in to the woods. The reason I am writing this is in case there...

Just ordered. Thanks for the tip.

Haven't tried it personally but check this link for dying....sounds simple and effective.
