Received the Lost River today, Paul. Thanks. Looks like a great quilt.
Just 16.7 oz INCLUDING suspension (minus stuff sack). I'll give it a shakedown tomorrow night.
...
Pencils, #2 of course.
On the contrary Paul. At baby number three, I'd say production is humming right along. :rolleyes:
Thanks for getting mine sent off and Best Wishes!
Sorry Rand. I meant to say +1 for TrailDesigns.
Very interesting. Sounds like Strapworks may be sending out different products. How many sections of the diagonal weave are running lengthwise? Look at my photo of the Navy and you will see just...
Insurance company says, "No pic, no check.":scared:
As Ida blesses us with rain today, I am on the roof, soaking wet, fixing a leaky roof (gutter problem). I look out in the yard and see my HH Explorer with the stock tarp. Bone dry inside. ...
That said, I like the UCR as well. I use it on one of my hammocks. It saves a few grams over the whoopie. Just got to remember the backup.
IMO, the UCR requires greater care to protect the bitter end where it emerges from the bury. Sometimes a bump will cause the UCR to release, particularly with slick line like Amsteel. So you should...
You got it. Actually simpler...you don't have to cut holes...compress the line by pushing one end toward the other and the weave will open up. Tapering the end just makes it easier to pass (or pull)...
Not 100', not 90'...94 feet. I do admire your precision, Shug.
No needle to thread.
I use a piece of stiff yet flexible wire doubled up into about a foot-long narrow loop. I PUSH it through the FAR end of the bury, toward the intended eye. When it emerges,...

I only cut out 2 strands with the 8-strand 7/64. This all is REALLY EASIER than you may think.
I generally use a simple back splice without stitching.
No doubt the crash was due to the overwhelming demand.:scared::scared:
I'm too fast. I already ordered your standard. Please see my PM.
That's what I've been waiting for! Ordered.
Not too shabby. Yeah...whoopie down, bro. Thanks Darrel.
And it works great! 100 feet of black 7/64 on the way for 19 bucks.
Very, very nice. Thank you.
Thanks. Weight, when you get a chance, please.
"Oh groovy baby... yeah..."
Perhaps the 1.1 ripstop is a finer weave?
Welcome fellow SUL'er. A few more and we'll get that SUL subforum yet.
My dry, bug-free, comfy HH Hyperlite complete with fly, suspension and snakeskins weighs in at 27 ounces and straps to the...
Yeah, sorry for those cheesy iphone pics.
No problem snugging up the UQ ends, especially with the long (tall) version HR. I slept barefoot in my bag's footbox in the 30's. Winds were light...
Man you guys are in luck, I've got 'em all. I'll be in the Explorer UL tonight. I see no probs with the bottom entry and Hudson River. Just need to remember it is there and nudge it to the right...
FWIW, I also have a BB and had the Hudson L as UQ last night. Great coverage and no compression of footbox that I noticed. I'm rather tall and use every inch of the footbox.
...
Great idea, 2Q. Reminds me of a float bag.
Always nice to have buddies...

Thanks for the pics. You just can't go wrong if you throw in a good canoe photo or two.
I forgot all about the candle lantern. I have one that I picked up at REI years ago. Weighs less than six...

A fid length is 21 x rope diameter, so that's 2.625 inches for 1/8". But you better do the math...not my strength.
Yeah Shug, I'm almost wondering if I can get by with something like the Shenandoah/Stealth up top with the HR underneath for milder (30's) temps.
Used the Hudson River as UQ with my Hyperlite last night. Wearing skivvies (shorts and tee), wool beanie and no socks, I was toastie warm. I had a 30 degree Marmot Arroyo bag in quilt mode on top...
Looks like HH is running their free Scout special again...

None detected visually. I'll use it for the first time tonight. 40 right now, headed for low 30's. I'll let you know.
Oh yeah! Thanks Owl.

SENSATIONAL! Thanks for posting.
LOL. Could be anything. On one of the ancient ships I had the pleasure of serving aboard, I lived on the top bunk of a three-high (triple bunk). I had to wedge myself under a 12-inch STEAM PIPE. ...
In the words of Steve Martin, "Let's get small."
But I think the beauty of using the Amsteel thread for locking is that the matching thread does not show when you are done...important if you sew as poorly as do I.
Ooh La La! Thanks Jacks.
And +1 for antigravitygear.com. I just received some great help fitting a Cone to an ancient and mysterious Ti pot. Thanks Rand.
Ah, spoken like a true gear junkie. :shades:
Thanks, Rug.
With all due respect...
1) Some cat invents hammock to sleep off the ground.
2) Another thinks up the tarp to keep dry.
3) Third throws on a net to keep the bugs away.
And honorable mention:...

Just the last name. Go by sul.
Sullivan is a VERY cool first name.
And here is 9.66 feet of red 1.5 inch seatbelt webbing, for the holidays:

Looks orange in pic, but really is a pure red.
And for the stylish backpacker this season, 13.66 feet of pink 1-inch seatbelt webbing:
