Check this build out guys. This will certainly be on the future list of products after a 8 man tipi.

Nice!

 

Holy crap that is so pro. My initial interest was in packs and stuff like that, it just looks so complicated compared to doing hammocks and shelters and basic storage bags. Stop tempting me back to backpacks!

 

Backpacks have been high on my list for awhile. Originally I was just planning on making simple packs for my stone glacier frame but now I want to delve into the frame portion too.

Do it!

Keep in mind he did this on a brother b837...not a home machine but I would be using lighter materials anyways. At 7lbs that's a pretty hefty pack.

 

Isn't that one of Brother's industrial walking foot machines?

 

Yep, so you can buy a kifaru bag for cheaper than the cost of the machine and materials.

 

After my last trip I figured I really needed a way to not fill the passenger footwear with trash. Whipped up a little headrest mounted trash bag. I put some light gauge wire underneath the binding on both sides of the opening to hold the shape. It just worked out that it perfectly fit a small trash bag.

 

Great idea! Might have to steal it. It's hard finding a spot for trash in a reg cab and it usually ends up in the passenger seat/floor.

 

Great idea!

 

Finished up my visor organizer . I'm real happy with how it turned out. Gonna turn out several of them for Christmas presents and such. I started marking out everything in chalk before doing it: seams, cuts, layouts, etc. and I think it's helped out a ton in terms of quality.

 

Shhhh don't spoil it!

 

I just a PM in to get signed up.

 

Great work!
I like it.

 

Topper 2.0 in the works! This time from some 7oz Arcadia fabric. It'll be more like the aussie versions with bungees on the sides and it'll have flaps with solid or screen sides.

 

cool.

 

I made some progress and got a good chunk of the sides done up. The rest will be fast and won't be so much piddly work, but I have to get steel to mod my bedrack before I can put the panels together to fit it.

The screen bit rolls up to the inside and the solid flap will roll up to the outside, each held with some straps/snaps so you can run solid, screen, or fully open if I need access.

There's 2 different zippers for each, the solid flap ends up being 2" narrower than the screened portion.

 

Made some dog toys out of 1000d cordura. They hold up well with my bigger dog, who doesn't really chew but just likes to play fetch. The wiener dog puts in some work and can get through the fabric in about an hour. Any fabric ideas that will stand up to chewing better?

 

More layers of Cordura? As far as my little bit of research says.
