thanks. now all i have to do is sit down cut and sew. i think the hardest part is going to be actually sitting down to do it. i'm just scared i'm going to mess up.

i was wondering if anyone has tried to use a reindeer hide as a pad? just a thought but i know the bushcrafters in the uk use them as ground pads. anyone know if it would work?

so the higher the fill number the less the bag will weigh and the more it will cost?

how does the fill rating effect anything? if the bag is rated for say 20F what difference does the 600+, 700+, 900+ or what ever else matter? i dont understand, could someone please explain?

do you sew the tie out between the reinforcment and the tarp and put a hole and stick it through or to the outside of the tarp?

it looks good is there a thread that tells how to do it? and what are the advantages of having two or is one good enough?

i've been working on how i want this thing to be set up and i thinki want the tie outs that are in the middle of the tarp on each side. what is your opinion on these and how do you do them?

i did use a off the shelf parachute type hammock but the wear on it was getting bad so i ordered a hh and i havent had a chance to set it up yet. the doctor said not for a couple weeks. i just had...
