compression sack for the BlackBird

[HitchHiking]

Had some left over materials from a few projects and had been thinking about this one for while.

Materials:

3 ladder locks

enough material to get the cut peices.

1 meter of GG ribbon or webbing.

Here is the measurments that I came up with and they seemed to work out not to bad.


Cut 3 of the Ribbon or webbing


Here are my cut peices and the hammock in its stuff sack, I used some GG ribbon as I had some lying around.



Here is the ladder lock joined to the skirting edge. This will be internal and wont be seen. (I used blue thread as I had it laying round. I reckon it looks good on the Black nylon and navy ribbon)



Heres the compression straps joined to the opposite ends skirting edge.( I made a error in my excited fury of stitching and sewed these to be external.but after i a minute I began to like it. sorta like the see through phones where you can see into it only a stuff sack. does not affect prefomance)



Then after joining on the helmet end peices its done.





results..... a little bit of extra space in the pack for something else, probaly a airport steamy romance novel for when the rain is pouring.
