Mailed the dvd to Pithy this afternoon.
Watched Jazilla's copy today. Lots of food for thought. Thanks all!
PMed Pithy so as to pass this along to the next in line.
Haven't seen anyone mention this before, I used to use a large dog food bag split open and washed. Material is similar to the material in a cheap poly tarp. Just as loud as tyvek :rolleyes::rolleyes:
I made a "Risk" style drape-over bugnet. Pockets for trail sticks or stones. Thought was it could be trimmed and attached later if it failed. Still loose:) I also like going topless when bugs are not...
I was thinking about coming on Thursday and checking out the pine grove we stumbled upon last year, but 300 year old ham (18th century) in the hollow sounds mighty good!:drool:

Might be a good idea to post on this thread a read-only spreadsheet with all our orders to refresh old memories :):) as "I have slept since then":lol:
What size should we be using on 1.1 and 1.9 ripstop?
I think my needle "might" need replacing, made a popping noise when "injecting" my last project, a poly covered fleece and IX top-quilt.:lol:
I voted "sometimes".

I voted 40's. Not much experience....using an early model IX with 2 layers and insultubes. One week canoe trip to Boundary waters. One night low was 41, slept well with the IX, light weight poly long...
I have left-over underlayment, and have checked both or local stores, all I can find has polyethylene on one side. This makes it much heavier and non-breathable. Anybody find some without?
I use tailors chalk from the fabric shop. But as to sharpening soapstone, my metal work remembrance was to use the side of the bench grinder wheel.
Very nice report. Thanks for sharing. Two of my favorites BWCA and hammocks.
We had more wind on our sixth day, Mid June trip, than we have ever seen in many years going up there.????
