It took me around 15 hours to make that one. When I make a couple more (going to try 210 dyneema), i'm going to use Pellon Tru-Grid to make all my patterns first. Cutting and making sure everything...
pack is sold.
This pack was used one time for an overnight since purchased earlier this year. It is in near brand new condition. Since finishing sewing my own backpack shortly after purchasing the arc blast (...
Thanks for the info, I am headed up monday to hike it. I did read it is a bit swampy in places. Hoping with the lack of rain we have had that it will be fairly dry. I will post a reply when I return.
The trampoline panel that sits against your back is the dive mesh, the mesh on the side pockets and large back pocket is regular "pocket mesh" that I orderd from DIY gear supply....
Has anyone hiked it? Little information can be found about elevations camping sites etc. There is a website with a trail map, but little other info. I was looking for something a little easier for a...
I went during the summer a coupler years back and was kicking myself for running out of water with like 5 miles to tom lenoard. It could be foggy memory but I remember water being scarce at points...
I have a solong 6 with silnylon with awning and 2 doors. It pitches fast and easy and pitches quite well on a tent platform. It takes me seconds to unpack and put in its stuff sack. I have had a...
Dried pineapple mmmm
Started using a bladder, but no longer take one when I go. I find using 2 Powerade or Gatorade type 1 liters easier and quicker to fill and treat water. When I come to a water source I don't have to...
I wouldn't think its necessary to carry both. I carry Aqua Mira but you have to wait 5+ minutes after mixing parts A + B. If you want you could hook up your sawyer mini to a water bladder to save...
thanks for sharing, may have to give this a try.

Since its still 2 years out how old is Diesel now? I have hiked with my dog, but as he has gotten older I wont take him anymore. I would think 2-3 years would be the prime age to take your dog if you...
What type of material is the pack made from? Unless I am missing something I can't find the materials.
I would go with the spitfire. Friend has a Solitaire and the fiber glass pole on the rear broke fairly quickly. Being able to sit up is also a plus for me, and like stated early the solitaire reminds...
Sages is a favorite camp site for me in CT.
If you use a garbage bag for waterproofing use a trash compactor bag for a liner, they wont rip like a normal garbage bag. Not much to cut weight wise. The pack is a bit heavy but if it carries well...
I thought that is what jock itch was? How swollen we talking? Gold bond or Lotrimin Ultra is good for jock itch. Its about trying to keep the area dry normally.
I would take a 20* bag if I was going. Day time temps may be anywhere from 55-70 but and night time temps from 40-50 but if they could dip lower. I am also a bit of a colder sleeper tho.
Generally I will take 2 liters of water in two 1 liter bottles. I will try to drink as much as I can at a spring or water source before filling backup.
Looks pretty good, my question is if its windy and rainy do you think you will get wet from the front or rear? Hard to tell how much tarp cover you have in some of the angels.
Sure, some of the specs are: 21oz total weight, but the weight might be off by an ounce or two either way. I don't currently own a digital scale. Using a bathroom scale that goes by tenths of a pound...
Sorry hope this works.
