    Pythons

    I cant sew a lick. No sewing machine either. Blah blah blah, wah wah wah.
    I used my #4 Snakeskins on my Nest and Hyperlight. It is one tight fit for sure. Would really love a pair of Pythons as I believe they are around 25% bigger.
    Anyone have a pair they would sell?

    I don't have any to sell but when I get my sewing machine if you have not gotten a set I will make ya a set. It may be a while though so no promises. I'm gonna need the practice . But I'm sure I will be getting plenty of practice with all the ideas rattling around in my head.

    Supposedly Walmart has sil, but I've never seen any. I gave up looking and got 8 yds. from Ed to make my MacCat knockoff (just finished, pix will be available soon!). He only has black, but that wouldn't be a problem for skins.

    Or better yet, look at these directions that have been posted here (thanks attroll). BTW, pythons are also known as snake skins.


    EDIT:
    Oops! Same set of directions Arkwater posted, just different location.

    HH sells snakeskins. JRB used to sell Python Skins that were big enough to swallow the underquilt and hammock together, but Tom Hennessy has a patent pending so they stopped. You can still find the DIY instructions on their site, in addition to the links above. They're super simple to make.
