Not only did I not catch the typo in my original post, but I clearly missed it in the replies and comments as well.

Now I’m just imagining myself sewing a ridge line organizer bigger than my new WinterDream 13 and lugging that beast all around.

*sigh

(You guys should see the size of the portable power bank I’m keeping in this thing!)

I'm glad someone commented on the voluminous size of your organizer and even funnier was your not noticing after the comments!! That's awesome.

. Given the size of your gear at this point, you could likely fit a 40" TV in there and have a generator next to the setup for power!

Back on track though, I make big net organizers and attach them with little biners to prussics and keep them on our hammocks. I sold a WBBB to get an XLC and just left the organizer on it. Figured the buyer would want one. The Walhalla Hammock I just bought for a guest hammock had one already built in which was cool!!

Last night while hanging out at the house and watching TV, I made a new ridge line organizer that I'm planning to put in my new (to me) WBB XLC.

The final dimensions on this one are 6' tall by 16' long. I intentionally made the pockets on either side different sizes to hold specific bits of my gear...
iPhone and eyeglasses in one side. Small phone charger on the other side, along with the battery pack for my lights, and my headlamp.

Other project last night was to make a double-ended stuff sack for my Green Kammok Roo. With the modifications I've made to it, and the junk that I leave permanently attached to the ridge line and gear loops it will never go back in the sewn on stuff sack, so I wanted a double ended sack that would hold the hammock, my stuff, and the tree straps. Final dimensions on this are 18" long and about 10" wide when flat.

Still on my to-do list are a stuff-sack for my DIY end-pole mod for the WinterDream, a peak shelf for the WBB, a stuff-sack/carrying case for my sven saw, and a small stake bag for the stakes for my WD and another tarp.

I would be interested to see your Sven saw case when you are done

Colorado Outdoor Gear Supply makes the cases for my folding buck saws. It will fit my Sven saw as well. He sells the cases on his site as well. Or you can buy one of my saws and it comes with the case! Lol!!

Where do I find your saws and cases? I'd like to see them!

So I worked on and finished my saw case last night...

Here is the brief rundown. I started by just making a simple sleeve out of ripstop, and couldn't get past how the bolts on the saw (and the teeth, when they peak out past the aluminum guard) were catching on the nylon and snagging it.

I toyed with the idea of reenforcing the inside of a sleeve with some 2" grosgrain, but then got to digging around in my fabric box and found a small roll of fake leather (pleather?) that I picked up somewhere...

So what I ended up doing was making a tube/sleeve out of the pleather and then making a sleeve for that out of some scrap nylon. The saw fits inside the whole thing pretty snuggly, so there are no worries of shaking it out.

The pleather is heavy (and stretchy) enough that there are no worries about the saw hardware, or teeth, snagging it. My end goal was to able to put the saw in my backpack without worrying about any of my other gear, stuff sacks, snake skins, or even my trashbag my quilts are in getting snagged on it.

I'm fairly pleased with the end result.
