decided to order an eldorado tonight after checking it out on their site all day.
went to the site to order and the price has gone up $25 since this afternoon.
i guess i'll order another chameleon...
thanks for the responses.
how do you tell which is the head end on a dangerbird?
thank you for your responses.
what are the opinions for having a continuous ridge line for your tarp.what are the advantages as opposed
to just tying out the ends of the tarp.
thanks for the responses.
to make an UQP, does the material have to be calendared?
i realize it needs to be breathable, but is calendared necessary?
thanx
With my 1 season Jarbidge, I'm good down to about *45 and
I'm a cold sleeper.
The 850 is good stuff.There was recently a big price increase on the 850,
went up $30 a pound.Must be popular.
The ones I get at the dollar store by me are not frayed and are the same ones they have at Walmart,
no need to spend any more at Walmart for the same thing.The only purpose they serve is to
contain...
Stuff sacks,UQP's,stake bags,and pack covers come to mind.
I get the mesh laundry bags at the dollar store for $1.They
work well and come in all kinds of colors.
Thanks for the update.Sounds kinda' fishy,they don't know what the stuff they
are making is made out of.I think I'll pass on this one.
I have the 1 season Jarbidge and it is plenty warm for the summer up here in
the Adirondacks,and packs down pretty small.
I already have a Jarbidge for summer, the one season version.I'll make
my own lightweight down stuff for the cold seasons.Just was curious about
the quality of the DD stuff.Already finding out I...
I realize they are not lightweight,but look like a viable option for a synthetic
full length UQ.The price seems good,$95 shipped to USA.Anyone have one
of these and care to comment?Looking at...
I have tried a few different colors and seems to me the biggest difference
is the black is easiest for me to see through.The lighter colors may be better
for baffles on quilts made with really...
Thanks.And also thanks again for such an outstanding piece of gear:)
Do you feel it would be safe to drill a tiny hole through these
toggles to attach a small keeper cord?
Whish I could post pics,but for some reason,my computer won't
let me.I get a gray overlay when clicking on someones else's pics
and the same when try to add image to a post.Works fine on all
other...
For some reason I thought it came with hollow toggles like arrow
shafts and planned on swapping them out.I guess hollow ones
would be fine since you hang on the knot and not the toggle,but
being a...
Just received my Dangerbird #935 and all I can say is WOW!
The attention to detail and the stitching is beyond my
expectations.The matching double ended stuffsack and
the solid carbon toggles are...
Nice job and great pictures.Thanks for your effort in
showing how you did it.

Just ordered a pound of 850 gray goose water resistant for $113.40
and free shipping.The white was not much more,but I didn't feel the need.
I think they offered up to...
All I could find on their site was a poly/cotton mix.You might be right about
the custom printing.I guess I'll have to ask Randy about it.
Anyone have any idea were I might find som A-Tacs Au camo nylon like
DH has available for their hammocks.Never been much of a camo
person,but I really like that pattern.I've searched,but have come...
Works for me,Thanks guys.

At least it'll only be another week and a half or so!Will definitely be worth the wait,I'm sure.
Glad it's in production so I can stop buggin' Randy with addons and changes.Geez,I've
never been...
Cool,thanks.I've got a good supply of sizes,so
I'll see what works the best.
Gary
Oh,sorry.I like to use Gutermann sew-all poly or Mettler Metrosene plus poly.
These are the threads my machine likes and they seem to work well,and are
very available to me.

Howdy all.Getting ready to start on some projects soon and
will be using the lightweight fabrics for the first time.Certainly
will practice/test on some scraps.My question is,what needle
sizes do...
Can I expect tons of coverage from the Superfly on
the ends with a 10' hammock without the doors
deployed.Just working on getting my foul weather
gear together and want to make sure I have enough...
I think Im gonna' end up doing the same thing.
I am so anxious,crazy how things are nowadays in
this fast paced gotta' have it now society.So nice
to know there are still things out there that truly
are worth waiting for.
*Disclaimer*-The...
Howdy all,just wondering what the feel and appearance is
like on the Argon 67 material.Is it shiny at all and does it feel soft.
Just deciding on an UQ and not sure what material I want
to go...
Is there any significant difference between white and gray
goose down given the same fill power and dwr treatment
besides the white being more expensive?
Thanks,
gary
Howdy all,I'm looking for an UQ or a TQ shell.Something like
what Underquilts was selling.Thanks.
*must be for down fill.
Thank you very much for pointing that out,I guess quality doesn't really
matter if you can't get one.
Thanks again,
gary
Howdy all,curious if anyone has any experience with the stuff and sewup
shells from Underquilts.Mainly curious about the quality of the products.
Anyone with personal experience,any regrets? I have...
I think you'll like it.I bought it's big brother, the CS-6000i
