    Bishp bag from repurposed Thermarest bag

    The title should read "Bishop."

    I suspect I am not the only one who cannot get my thermarest back into the bag is comes in. So I have several lying around.

    I had the idea to use one as a Bishop bag for my hammock. It turned out to be a very good idea. The end has a little hand hold that makes a perfect pouch for the end of the suspension for that end of the hammock.

    I took my soldering iron a burned a small hole under the pouch.

    Check the pictures.

    Nice! I like that the pocket is already there.

    Might not be a bad idea to glue or stitch a heavier fabric patch over the hole and re-solder. It's been my experience that the little hole on it's own will tear into a big one.

    Looks good though.
