    Spindrift modification

    Thanks to Brandon at Warbonnett outdoors for making me a double door
    Spindrift. I made two more doors from netting. I put a no net Ridgerunner
    inside. I plan on using it year round. With the two doors there is cross
    ventilation and great view on both sides plus bug protection.

    I like to hang my tarp high to walk under and have a good view all around.
    The Spindrift protects from any wind blown rain and my Lynx UQ is always protected.

    The spreader bars on the foot end are a little awkward to install so I
    changed them to the outside of the Spindrift. Just a bit easier.

    My zippered screen doors weigh just a little less than the full netting but
    without the netting inside there is a more open feeling.

    Cool Mods jokerr. I like the idea of the double netted doors on the SD. With the standard door you definitely feel closed in when your zipped up.

    Great idea! Brandon made me a double door spindrift in multicam that is amazing. Might have to add the screen mod at some point.

    Nice! Does the craze ever stop? My mind is turning now.

    I had just decided this morning that I was completely content with my gear, and wouldnt be buying anything else for a while-------------and then i saw this post! Dang it-----thats just a really good idea and now I have to have one--thanks alot !
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.
