    Hand muff using alpha direct

    I got them from the jens_buys ebay user (https://www.ebay.com/usr/jens_buys?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754). Some of her items have a picture of the label on the bag. The item# should have a 4 digit number like 4004, 4409, etc. You can use that to look up on discovery fabrics -...

    Hand muff using alpha direct

    Its not as bad as I was fearing. It still is noticeable to the user, however its only when moving my hands and trying to make noise. I'll have to see if the kids can hear it from 10ft away or something. The poly shell is more noisy than I'd like too. I layered the vs75 next to the shell...

    Hand muff using alpha direct

    I thought I'd make a hand muff to tryout when hanging in the cold. That way I can hopefully still use my lightweight archery gloves when its cold. I used some calendared ripstop poly in ATACS camo that I had some scraps of, plus some foil backed xpac vs75 I had. So it should be decently...

    Roll Up Rope Pouch Clone

    If y'all want to learn to sew, this would be a decent project to start on. They are pretty basic as far as sewing. Minus the zippers, no real sewing right side to right side and turning inside out. You could also easily make one with a cheap machine. Maybe start with a few boxy's/ZPP kits...

    Roll Up Rope Pouch Clone

    Forgot to mention, this was the first time using an HHH zipper in a project. I got them a few months ago from RSBR, https://ripstopbytheroll.com/collections/coil-zipper/products/hhh-waterproof-coil-zipper. Sort of a waste for a waterproof zipper, but didn't have any other #5 zips tho. Plus I'm...

    Roll Up Rope Pouch Clone

    Stitched up a second version yesterday. Made it a good bit taller than the previous one, around 15" or so. First attempt was around 11". Still 10" wide. I had a 3 point attachment setup on the old one. Two for the top and one for the bottom. Seemed to cause my phantom to bunch up a little...

    Karo step top quilt 40 degree build

    Got it finished last night. Went pretty well overall. First TQ build and first time doing karo baffles. I've only used vert baffles in my two UQ builds. Only had to seam rip two baffles due to misplacement. not too shabby 7.5 oz of down and sitting at around 2+ inches in loft. Off to test it...

    A fall noted on facebook. A comment I saw.

    One thing to note with ropes and probably other soft goods, they can be susceptible to certain chemicals and vapors. A specific one I remember from my climbing days was battery acid vapor, so it was recommended to not store your rope, harness and other nylon items in the garage or even inside...

    Roll Up Rope Pouch Clone

    I've made a copy as well. It is a pinch small, but everything just barely fits. Really dig the setup, so I'll probably make a larger one soon. I'll try to grab a pic.

    Merino/Lanolin Magic???

    Why can't you wear lightweight merino in GA? I wear it all the time, in all seasons in NC. I've got lightweight t-shirts for summer that I backpack in all the time. Works just as well as polypro (maybe bettter) at evap cooling. I've worn first lite obsidian pants most of the aug scouting and...
