Perhaps you should note that if one stays "awake" for more than 4 hours, he/she should call his doctor . . . :scared:

Seattle Fabrics and Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics both have patterns for jackets that remind me of the Anorak Style. I'm not sure if Anoraks have a hood or not.

Hey, I DIY'd a pack that I never got to use. Figured to sell it but didn't think to post here first. Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll cancel the auction. Looking for $70 + shipping. It...

OK, I'm intrigued.

After a recent equipment failure I find myself possibly in the market for a new hammock. The obvious choice to replace my HH UL Explorer was the WBBB. I liked the idea of the...

And if the stuff works as well as I hope, it'd be a bargain. I hope to get in on the next buy if/when you, or anyone else, scores a roll. Wish I could have bought 20 yds, but times are tight.

I'm...

I suspect that if you'd have bought two rolls, you would have sold them. It would have taken more time, but once reports roll in of successful under quilts, people will be sorry they missed-out. I...

PM sent for 10 yards. Paypal payment sent as well. Thanks!

I'm getting in on this one. I'd like 4 bags please. PM being sent. Thanks for taking-on this project!

Forgive my ignorance, but how much is this stuff per foot and how much to ship it? Thanks

Got permission from the boss to have a weekend away. See you guys there!

Doctari, put me down for whatever when you update the communal list. I'll get what you need me to bring.

I'm going to do my best to make this trip. As the date gets closer I will try and see what's needed and bring that.

If this happens, I'm on board for a pound, maybe more if more of an order is needed. At that price, I'd even be willing to pay the handler a little for the effort.

I always try and hang between two other hammocks. I have a theory that the bears will go for one of the outside hammocks first . . . . ;)

I have the under portion of the SuperShelter (SS - hammock liner and foam insulation. The liner does not take up much space and fits into the snake skins though it can be tight if I don't roll the...

And if Ogri uses the travel version, he can roll out the air in camp to repack into the rucksack. I've been checking them out and they have potential for both water resistance and compression. Sadly,...

PM response, re: carpool ;)

I will let the "sure thing" folks determine the date then see if I can swing it. I sure want to meet as many of you-all that I can . . . seems like my timing is off...

Hey, all: forgive my ignorance, but where is Mt. Rogers so that I can determine if this is even feasible for me. Thanks, and sorry for the silly questions.

Is there a rule of thumb, or a table some where, that describes what packing compression is acceptible, and what will damage a fiber?

This statement has me wondering, and hopefully some more experienced members can weigh-in:

There is quilting material/insulation at Wal Mart that has approx 3/4" loft per layer. Has anyone played...

Being in N. Ky, I'd be game for that . . . assuming my wife springs me for a couple of days (I have to relieve her from the kids from time to time so it's no longer a forgone conclusion that she'll...

We should start another thread with a poll on back problems and then what type. I grimace at some peoples' descriptions mainly because I'm aware of the pain myself . . . oh, to be young, stupid and...

I was told after asking for the cardboard bolt (for ease of storage - not special ordering) that they supplier/stocker uses the empty bolts to see what is selling and thus needs to be restocked. Made...

Are you making and grinding your own blades? If not, what is your blade source? Thanks,

buck

PS - nice looking knives and sheaths!

. . . .I'm a-waiting Lost, I'm a-waiting . . . .
que the crows cawing in the background ;)

If it doesn't get puchased, let me know. I'll PayPal you the money ASAP.

I was aware but had too many things happening to address it. If there's another group-buy, I think I'm in for an SWT.

Too close to the new baby and I am committed to being in a buddy's wedding well away from home in early October. The wife is never going to approve another weekend away. Sorry guys, I promise to make...

Just catching up on this thread and have to add my "amen" to the above. Don't know about your hanging experience, but when I lend out my hammocks I always tell the prospective "hanger:" no metal...

The kit should have nearly everything you need to make it an UQ with the exception of the shock cord and a little extra material to make the cord channels. Based on that I would use the KickAss Quilt...

Do you tape your stuff sacks or sew them?

I'm intrigued by CF for a tarp, though I need to hone my fabrication skills before I go mucking-up $25/yd fabric. (I think the greater sin would be wasting it because I didn't know what I was doing.)...

That certainly lends some perspective. Guess I need to curb my tecno appetite ;)

Just stumbled across this guy's site. Dedicated to Cuben Fiber.

Hmmmm . . . I'm not really a gram counter, but I do like high tech . . . just another way to spend my allowance, I guess.:rolleyes:

I respect your position. But knowing that most people will be affected by cancer in one way or another, and that it's not your having finished, but your effort to do so that counts, I would be...

On several occassions I had to tie/wrap my tarp lines around a large rock and then use other rocks to "prop" that in place. Never had a problem with my tarp guys coming loose.



Never got wet...

Chris,

Just got done catching-up on your ride report. Amazing. As an MTB enthusiast, I'm blown-away by your ride. I hadn't read your site too closely previously due to time constraints, but now...

Only if you ignore my PM responding w/ the info! ;-)

I am very interested in your roof rack. Do you have any idea what the fit kits cost? Also, do you have an idea of what the shipping to zip code 41048 would be? Thanks

Buck

I just ordered one and they're only in khaki. Hope it works great for camping and work. Thanks for the lead HC4U.

I have to agree with the sentiment that this thread could/should die for the better. I agree that it is too devisive. There really is no convincing anyone who is a true believer in an opinion that is...

A power tool assisted homemade kilt is my next project

My neighbors already think I'm insane, one reason is mowing the lawn with a battery powered mower in my Sports Kilt. There are many other...

Not that you'll need the extra space now, but possibly . . . could you use one of those internal corner frame bags (mentioned earlier but dismissed because of the water bottles) upside down between...

One of my wife's friends, who has not yet met me, saw me riding my bike and towing my daughter in her trailer. The woman recognized my daughter. She then told my wife that she'd seen us and commented...

That's exactly the type of info I'm looking for. Thanks for the link!



I really appreciate the help. I PM'd you my mailing address.

Thanks again for the help.

Peace,

Dang it! 2-3 times a week I cruise 3-5 of the Wallyworlds that I drive by in my daily pursuits. In my neck of the woods, ripstop has been scarce. For a while I was always seeing it. I wish my local...

I know fabric ID has been discussed before, but could not find general things to look for in a fabric when I tried to search the forum.

Are there any hard, fast rules that help ID the specific...

Sorry to be responding late, but I've not kept up on this thread like I should have. I'm still a "maybe." My wife is due in August and I'd only be able to make it by her good graces. I want to hang...

The water was real low during our trip. Many of the falls features were thus exposed and allowed us to get in the "hot tub" or should I say "very cool" tub.

Anyhow, enjoy your trip. I have not...

We were there last Summer w/ 4 hammocks. The only four to sleep consistently for that matter. The two ground dwellers were always talking about roots.

Anyhow, unless you are travelling...
