    First DIY Saddle

    I encourage you to look at a rock climbing harness in person. It will blow your mind how light duty they are and how little reinforcement is used. Saddles are complete tanks by comparison. And we are at risk of falling what like a foot or two if we do things properly? Rock climbers are going to...

    First DIY Saddle

    It looks fantastic man. Be proud. It will work great. Beat it up a good bit at ground level to look for weak points. Reinforce as needed. My first one is not as well done as yours and I still haven't found a need to upgrade it. I've killed a pile of deer out of it. Sent from my SM-G991U...

    DIY Field Quiver

    I opted to not add the webbing loop inside the pocket on mine. However, arrows will stay in there much better when you aren't wearing it if you utilize the loop. I just felt it would be more fiddly to put arrows in and I like to just drop them in. I've considered adding a magnet to the bottom...

    DIY Field Quiver

    Looks good man. I made mine a complete copy of the kifaru one. No fancy laser cut molle for me though. Had to do it old school. I get a ton of use out of it shooting at the house. Works good for holding shells when dove hunting too. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Expandable DIY Pack ideas

    I'm not sure if I posted my frame build here or not. I definitely did on rokslide. My goal is always to make gear that looks like I bought it. I see some diy stuff that is ROUGH! I did buy a k4 frame and bag this year and it is amazing. No regrets. But they are very expensive. I just got to a...

    Made a seat extender for the Lwcg .5

    I totally get it. Sometimes, I think I enjoy the tinkering more than the hunting. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Made a seat extender for the Lwcg .5

    Looks good. The sling style seat option is the ticket imo. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Adding PALS webbing

    I'd buy a new pouch. It will be cheaper unless you do it yourself. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    MDF sharpening discs

    2nd Consew 206 RB-4 Acquired

    I am not aware of a synchronized binder but i have not looked into it. My binder has a specific foot, feed dog, and plate. No way im swapping all of that out every time. I have a 206rb5 as my primary. I have a singer 111w153 that i upgraded from. It is a great machine but has no reverse. I plan...

    hand stitched bar tack methods?

    Bar tacks are not needed. Just do multiple passes with straight stitch. I have made a ton of gear this way and have never had a failure. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    What kind of plastic/thickness???(Like used in hip belts, back panels)

    Hdpe is what i have used. You can gets sheets of it cheap from grainger. I use 1/8" for pack frames. 1/16 with be more suitable for something like a belt where flex is still needed. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Back tacking, lock stitching, weight bearing seams,

    That works. I do the same on some hand sewn things like leather work. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Back tacking, lock stitching, weight bearing seams,

    I thought of another option that will work in a lot of scenarios. Forward, spin piece, forward, spin piece back, forward. Should five perfect results. Just make sure to spin with needle in down position. Can be a bit of a pain if you are dealing with a bigger piece but this is what I used to do...

    Back tacking, lock stitching, weight bearing seams,

    Like you said, both will work fine. Personally I do fwd, reverse, forward. All you are doing is preventing those loose stitches from being able to be pulled apart. If it is in an area that strength is a concern, I'm going to run a straight stitch only bar tack (bc i don't have zig zag) over the...
