Good lord. I went to Camp Grimes in the late 70's - early 80's. Can't believe that place is still around!

Done.

I finished this up with another seam after tightened the tension from 3 to 4. I had taken all of the tension inner workings apart a week or two ago. Partly because it was acting a bit weird and...

That just went "click" in my head. Up to this point, I've basically assumed that it was all some kind of black magic.

Thanks, everyone.

OK, that kinda makes sense to me. So the tension is only adjustable on the needle thread, right? And if it's not tight enough, it's not pulling the bobbin thread through/tight?

Kinda sucks...

Sewing the final seam on my first UQ and I got this happening underneath. I could tell from the sound that something wasn't quite right. Can someone explain this and provide some guidance on a...

How did you find the argon to work with, compared to 1.1 oz ripstop? I'd like for my next project to be a TQ, but really would prefer to break out of the black, green, coyote color wheel into...

Just need some reassurances. I've researched this pretty well, but I'm getting different answers from different sources. I have nine baffles that are 7x44x2. It's differentially cut (outer layer...

Yeah, exactly what I was looking for. You guys do some really nice work.

Huh. Just that simple? One corner fold?

I need some help on this - I've searched around quite a bit but couldn't find the kind of instructions that I need. I've finished sewing in the baffles on my first UQ, and I'm left with 3" seam...

An important note on the Neusiok - the last two days of deer hunting season are probably not the best days to go camping there. Lots and lots of guns and packs of dogs and crashing deer. Made for...

D sucks.

That is all.

Yes, I think so. It rarely jams. Thanks so much for your help.

OK, 99% complete. And I'm thrilled with the results - I really thought that we(I) would absolutely derb this project. My stitching looks like Lindsay Lohan's driving, but it works.
...

We should bore it out and build a stroker.

Interesting. I'll try something like that.

Sewed about 20 feet of binding last night with the G Sew All thread. Only fouled once.

It does - thank all yall.

I guess I'm just concerned with accessorizing myself right out of this pack.

Ok, I guess I'm hoping that the uq and a tq are sufficient and would be easier/smaller to pack than a bag. Space is an issue for me (not weight so much). I really like my pack, but it is small.
...

I'm confused by this... We went camping last winter down east on the Neusiok, where the temps dropped into the low 30's at night. I was fine with a pad and a 20F bag - with full jammies and a...

It was probably the Sew All (looked at so many different threads yesterday...). I think the only thing that we made certain was the 100% poly. Assuming that we continue with this thread, is the #9...

We're trying to make a copy of the Profly tarp with 1.1 silnylon. After researching on here, I bought a spool of Gutermann Tera 40 thread for Mrs K's Kenmore machine. We ran a ton of practice...

Yeah, I tried them over the weekend. They don't carry it in the store - only online.

Any idea where I can find amsteel in the Triad/Triangle area of NC?

Went to Raven Rock this past weekend just to scout it out. That's a great park. The "primitive" camping area is closed for all of 2013. But the canoe camping and group camping areas are open.
...

So it's the usual cast of characters, I guess. With the exception of Uwharrie, I've spent quite a bit of time in all of those - climbing, fishing or camping. Familiarity is probably wise and in my...

Paul - I've been to Stone and Doughton quite a bit. Stone's an interesting option.... is camping really limited to the Widow's Creek trail? And I've car camped at Doughton (blah), but wasn't aware...

Hey - I've been lurking some time on this and a few other forums. Trying to get back into wilderness camping after a 25 year break. I'm just looking for some suggestions on a few break-in target...
