Was going to say the same thing for anyone who goes the Dremel route. That'll throw the dust around a lot more and I imagine it's pretty bad stuff to have in your lungs.

FWIW the saw archery...

I've always just used a fine tooth hacksaw and wrap the end with masking tape (either cut right against the tape or through it). Tape is supposed to help prevent it splintering. Let the saw do the...

Awesome idea crossing the poles and appears to work well. Another one for me to try when I finally get started on my winter tarp. I'm going to have you to thank for a lot of the ideas I plan to...

I just leave mine in snake skins but if it's going to be stored long term I ensure it's taken out regularly. I don't know if it's still an issue but there is (was?) something known as sticky silnylon...

From my experience with them that arrogance is just what I'd expect.

Well I'm here because of them. If their customer service and communication skills weren't so terrible it probably would've taken longer but I think I still would've found my way here eventually.

Why wouldn't you raise a dispute with your credit card company if you don't get the item you've paid for?

For corner lines I think mine are 6' finished length, been a while since I made them. Lawson Glowire with some shock cord tensioners. I also carry two extra 6' lengths to use as extensions for other...

The Roo was the first hammock I bought. I didn't research it and it was impulsive. It was comfortable and I rather liked the feel of the material but it was too heavy for back packing and long story...

Sorry to hear of your problems. I think seam sealing is the best option at this point.

I had planned to put some loops in like you've done also for interior poles and general convenience when I do...

Nowhere near enough height on a bike even if you could prevent it from being pulled over. Never tried it so I'd love to be proven wrong but think about how high you put tree straps etc when setting...

My hit rate is about 50/50. I've found no performance difference between the neat ones and the troll doll ones. None have ever pulled out so while I do try and keep them intact I don't lose any sleep...

Was definitely around $7 earlier. I would've bought several but the shipping to Australia due to the size of the mat wasn't feasible.

Price may have been an error and they've realised though I...

I'm the same but would still like more room LOL. My mats have bevelled edges so I lay down two large 48"x36" cutting mats to give me a smooth surface. I'd really like a 3rd cutting mat but they're...

I don't think it was shockcord but I recall seeing a thread in the last month or so of someone experimenting with securing line (dynaglide?) within the rolled hem as tie outs. IIRC it involved some...

Yeah, I tend to forget things like that as well if I just do it randomly. I know why I put different colours but I can't remember what colour is what. I try to use one green carabiner and one...

Given how small those possums are you'll need a fair few pelts to make something large enough. The thought of using a sheepskin had crossed my mind for car camping etc so I'd be interested to hear...

Like the Irukandji. Tiny, almost transparent and a single sting can be lethal. Multiple stings and it's pretty much guaranteed.

I've done different colour carabiners, marked the double ended stuff sack and used different colour cord locks on the stuff sack. Never done different colour CLs and like the idea.

Don't know what it was. Clicking the link is fine now.

Anyway, I'll book mark it. They seem to have a good selection and decent prices but I'll see how the stuff I already have coming is first.

I originally did it that way, pass the free end through the fixed loop of the other end. Seemed the obvious way to do it. The first time I wanted to readjust after handing the hammock and quilts...

I get a virus warning trying to open that site. Anyone else?

Keen to find some supplies of quality grosgrain in colours. I have some grosgrain inbound ATM via a ebay seller in Hong Kong but it's...

I have a few of these and they work well. I think the idea of replicating the design by using a bottom panel of WPB is worth considering if you want to reduce cost.

Ah, of course. Was trying to picture how no tie outs would work LOL.

Piqued my interest. How is no tie out going to work?

I've got fabric and poles on the way for a 12' - 13' winter tarp with internal poles. The rate I sew it I expect it'll take around 40 hours LOL.

US maps aren't of any use to me but I do like the idea.

Hard to make a mistake when you're going that slow LOL.

They're not perfect, probably look a bit better in that pic than in person, but I'm pretty happy with it. If I can do long seams as well...

Yeah I was pretty frustrated by Sat. night. Spent several hours trying to figure it out.

Pretty happy with my efforts though. Held my 210lbs swinging off it.
...

Checked but all appears OK. I couldn't even budge those screw with the cheap included "screwdriver" so definitely not loose. I have no idea how it happened but I used the machine today to do 4 sets...

Thanks, was actually just out looking at it and came in to say I think I fixed it. I was looking to see if the timing was OK (been watching Youtube vids) and it's fine so was proding around to see...

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on. I bought a new Singer 4423 a few months ago, briefly tried it out to make sure it was OK and put it away until today.

It's been really...

Thankyou both. Going to give it a try soon.

Thanks, Great job, hope mine turns out as well.

Thanks, what size pole is that as I imagine not all the tips are the same size. .340?

I really like this idea and it gives me an idea on how to implement it with something I was already planning, the two way tie outs kitsapcowboy uses on his tarps. Place the pole into the beastie D...

Looks identical apart from the plastic case as the set I got from the UK via ebay. Haven't had a chance to try them yet other than to ensure they fit the machine so good to hear you're happy with...

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. That thread got me thinking and I sketched out a few ideas very similar to this.

This looks really nice though but I think I'll still make a DIY attempt as I...

Seems I spoke too soon. 48 hours later and no evidence the Paypal checkout actually went through. Nothing showing up in Paypal, no confirmation from Dutchware or reply to my query about if the order...

Agree, wouldn't do a 5 day trip as her first trip, unless she's done this before and it's just your first trip together. What if you get 2 days in and she hates it?

Also, a 7x9 tarp? That's too...

I like this idea. Might have to borrow it. Could include pockets for other potential dirty items eg tree huggers.

Ahh, I see. Awesome. Very interested to see what comes of this.

Any long term plans of a print your own design sort of service? ie you submit a graphic, pattern, whatever to then be printed on to...

I was going to ask the same question. I love the idea of being able to pick any colour.

Without going into detail the company I work for deals heavily in colour. One issue I see is the same colour...

I have one of Zpacks cuben tent stake sacks. Could be a bit smaller given I use mini groundhogs.

I'm sure Dutch has better things to do than become the sole order point while they get things sorted. I did find I was able to use the Paypal checkout successfully, or at least that's how it appears...

Same error I get trying to checkout as guest (still can't get my account sorted).

Too inconvenient to call international with the time differences but I can wait though it'd be nice to have a...

A lot will pitch it on the ground not as an A frame but more of a lean to with a peak if that makes sense. So complete coverage on one side but a short porch on the other and obviously open on the...

There's a lot of problems with the site but I'm sure they're working on getting it right as fast as they can.

Currently I can't sign in at all. Won't let me reset my password and when I enquired...

There's also the slightly older model Camp Nano 23. They weigh 1g more than the 22 but they did come in a couple more colours (red, yellow and purple IIRC). I have both, certainly my biner of choice...

No problem, IIRC my first order was mostly thread so I'm well stocked but wanted to check as I'll be ordering fabric for some tarps shortly if all goes to plan.

Received my printed webbing last night and it looks great, can't wait to get the straps made up. Resolution and vibrancy are fantastic. Going to have to try the fabric at some point in the future.
