WaffleBox, you are my idol. Kyle, my hero. I've been meaning to check out how your trip went. Just been so busy lately. BTW my copy of THE WaffleBox (aka your tarp) was a proven success at 11,200'....

The wife and I just got back from Denver. We hiked the Devil's Thumb Lake trail. If was beautiful! We camped at Devil's Thumb Lake (11,200') It got pretty cold during the night, about 35°, but we...

Gotcha! I like that. I might have to do that to mine. After setting mine up again the other night my guy lines pulled my ridgeline about a foot lower than where I hung it. Kinda cramped in there that...

That's right Florida!

It is actually. I've got a big standard to measure it against though. I will definately be checking in with questions on some things.

If anybody hasn't checked out kduvey's stuff you need to. He...

Thanks! I'll be looking forward to seeing it.

This was literally my first big sewing project. I had made a few (3-4) stuff sacks to practice on but the learning curve for the SilPoly was steep. It can be done but make sure you can at least sew...

I can't quite picture what you're talking about here. Can you take a picture of it up close for reference?

Hobo, I'm heading to Colorado Aug 3-13. I'll be in the Denver area, but definitely going to check out the mountains. Thinking of heading to Maroon Bells and Mirror Lake. Wish I had more time to check...

My concurrent project is of kduvey's design for a UL karo step UQ. Why do I do this to myself?:scared:

It's so happy!

I'm almost finished with my new SilPoly tarp! I just sewed on all the tie outs, except for the side panel pull outs, so I just had to check it out. I gotta tell you, I'm pretty happy with the way...

For me, I've always loved backpacking and outdoor adventure sports; however, I just recently (5yrs) have had the real funds to do it. I love being able to get outside and enjoy nature. I ski,...

You did that too eh? That darn ridgeline got me too. :scared:

I struggled with how to square up my fabric until I found Xtrekker's hammock tutorial video which shows an easy way to square it up. Maybe including the link or an explanation of how to do so would...

This came out just in time, although I used 9yds instead of 10. Thanks Kyle and Justin!

Thanks WB! I switched my fabric last night after my post and ended up sewing a stuff sack that looked better than I could buy. :confused: I guess that other super light ripstop I was using was...

WaffleBox, what size needle did you use? My stuff is all here but I figured I'd practice on some junk ripstop I had laying around before I destroyed all that pretty SilPoly. Good thing I did too. I...

So my SilPoly just arrived today, but I'm not sure what thread to use. I was thinking Mara 50. What did you use?

Been watching too many Shug videos... I just read that in a Karl voice.

We saw you, just trying to forget. Ha! Had to work this weekend couldn't make it out for any of it.

Mine is on the way! I couldn't keep dreaming about this tarp so I had to order the fabric. 9yds of Olive Yellow silpoly, come to daddy.

Hahaha!! Why is there no "Like" button on this forum? lol:thumbup1:

Gotta tell you man, I love this tarp! I'm close to biting the bullet and putting my order in to RSBTR so I can get to work on my tarp and quilts. (My wife and I are heading to Denver on the 4th of...

What were the starting dimensions of your top and bottom sides to the quilt?

I was hoping to find a vaccine before I was bitten by the Dutch bug but alas, my efforts were in vain as the symptoms have started. :scared: It's starts with sweats thinking about having to wait for...

Thanks! Might have to do that.

Well what do ya know? Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

Thank you for that. I'm new to the boards :)

I just made this the other day. I'm making another two today before we head out for an overnight. I'll post pictures of the final product. Great idea and S-U-P-E-R easy to make. I had absolutely zero...

Hey guys! I've been a member of HF for a little bit now scavenging ideas ;) so I figured I'd go ahead and introduce myself. I just started hanging about 3 months ago. I have an ENO SN to get me...

This guy is a genius. I've been looking for him on here but I couldn't seem to find him. I'd love to get more details and dimensions on this build. I'm ordering my materials from RSBTR soon.
MYOG...
