I just wanted to say Thank You, to the OP and everyone else who has contributed.
I have a unique setup; that I have been planning/thinking/fabricating about and many of the challenges I thought I...

I use Tapatalk HD on iPad.
I don't log in to any of the number of forums I access with Tapatalk. I just click on the forum I want to use and it opens ready to use with my participated and subscribed...

Never used a alcohol stove, so I'll leave it up to you if my tag gets pulled out of the hat.

Mighty nice of you to splurge like this...

Cheers! :beer

Hi all,

Looking forward to doing a bit of Motorbike camping... Hanging all the way round...

Love to see a pic of the tarp all set up... : 1 beer

Inspiring stuff!
Love the colour combo!

Welcome @Aussiebushman,

I've looped around you dozens of times on the Ol' motorbike... Doin the Mt Barney loop. It really is a lifetime of beautiful experiences living anywhere along the border...

Any chance you will consider some Cuben?

I'm still trying to buy some Cuben......

Perhaps it's a quirk of Tapatalk? I don't know???

The URL link to your website was in the post earlier today.... but is now not visible- that's what I call an 'edit'... Definitely not there now!!...

@simonMc,

It's nice to see that you are starting to get a bit more stock on your web site; but frankly if you are going to blow your own trumpet... the least you can do is be honest and up-front...

Hi Guys,

I'd like to have a go at making some gear with Cuben Fibre.

I've found this supplier which sells Cuben by the Yard...

Yep, Facebook is an 'essential- must have', but unless you engage people with things like competitions, etc... It is passive. The most valuable asset in your business is 'your list' and you need to...

I too think it's a great idea...
There are many manufacturers in Asia that are as yet untapped in terms of promotion to this market. In my research I have also found wholesalers who have the...

Clever little photoshopper.... : 😉

No the tape is double sided... So you are actually more like welding the edges. You still seam the edges and French seam two pieces together- or ends for a sack. With CF, it is a plastic like...

This may be getting a bit ahead of myself but for those with a desire to DIY a Cuben Fibre tarp or stuff sacks, etc.... I have found the Ultra High Bond Tape at tapesonline.com.au They have clear 12...

Bunnings can be a great source for our equivalent of NoSeeUm netting.
Be aware though that stock can really vary store to store and especially region to region.

Exotic fabrics in racing sails are selected on a weight (lighter the better) vs resistance to stretch and distort beyond design parameters. Longevity is well down on the list of desirable...

Yet on the other hand, I really enjoy seeing all the new names go on the list...

One thing I have seen on another forum though is that the list was in Post 1 and the OP was going back to Post 1...

Well cause I'm a grumpy Ol bustad...
Need I make it clearer? :tongue :big grin

@Bobsled
Hi,
I grew up in Melbourne; from 4-28 yo and now live in Brisbane. Anyway, it's true to say that Melbourne and the State of Victoria is indeed Hammock Heaven. There are so many diverse...

I find the most restful sleep is either when there is the sound of surf crashing, or a stream or even rain on the tarp... That 'white noise' just seems to mask all the other noises and I will awake...

Funny how each place has it's own distinctive noises- especially night noises...

Here in Australia the Kangaroos hopping about can sound like an angry giant stomping through the bush...

Brisbane based here, but like others I'd consider taking a 'break' to travel, given enough lead time...

Hey there, I just stumbled across this group buy...
