    I'm adding a new hammock to my DIY list as well. Possibly trying for a bridge...

    backpack? which one? Is a G4 really big enough?
    A buddy of mine gave me a G4 that he found uncomfortable and it's been roomy enough for me. I usually carry a bear vault and the G4 was big enough to stuff everything for a week on the trail into. It was the tall version though.
    Happy Trails to one and all.
    Enjoy the outdoors wisely and elevate your perspective.

    First off I have to get my DIY area in the gear room squared away. Then:
    A few gathered end hammocks
    A couple bugnets
    Several sets of mesh snakeskins
    A Slug Tube
    A few Down UQ's from LostBiker UQ Shells (for the grandkids)
    A Hammock Cover that doesn't cause major condensation (?) SC air is so full of moisture.
    Make several more tree straps
    Make lots of Amsteel/Dynaglide DogBones and Adj Ridgelines.

    I think that is it for now.

    4) Griz beak for summer tarp
    5) A 1.6 SL hammock w/o bugnet for spring/fall

    What are your DIY resolutions this year?

    Just getting started and bought a sewing machine.

    Maybe a hammock and a tarp.

    But boy do I appreciate a cottage vendor project price after costing out materials!
