1) DIY Cowboy "War Bag" Silpoly XL Waterproof Gear Hammock (4.5-Foot Black) -- $32 DELIVERED
I made this this sturdy DIY waterproof gear hammock as a waterproof storage solution for large bulky items. Based on a popular concept, I made several of them for friends and have been using a couple of the extras myself for the last year with excellent results in the field! Now I'm passing this one on to someone here. This waterproof gear hammock has been used on one overnight trip and remains in excellent "nearly new" condition after light use; unlike the prototypes, it has never been filled to capacity, so its ready for your adventures this summer -- no noticeable faults, no dirt/stains, nothing to deter you from enjoying it as "new to you". The War Bag is big enough -- approx. 54" by 16" min. diameter when fully closed) to hold the biggest internal-frame backpack you're going to want to carry on a hike -- including large traditional packs in the 80- to 100-liter range. My extra-large DIY design for this popular concept is about 15% bigger than the similar cottage vendor option, yours for about more than 40% less money. (Photos show it filled with a fully loaded 68-liter ULA Circuit with plenty of room to spare.) Easy to use, just hang by your choice of virtually any simple suspension (e.g., webbing, whoopies, Dynaglide, paracord; not included), fill it, weight the top pocket with a rock or water bottle, and flip the top to close it for a waterproof seal. It can hang between any two trees at your campsite or even in-line next to your hammock under your tarp. It's made from RBTR Silpoly XL wide waterproof fabric, which is tough with a high hydrostatic head (waterproofness rating), to weather extremes of wind and rain. Built-in Dyneema ridge line and 7/64" Amsteel continuous loops (the same as your full-sized hammock). There are many, many ways to use this handy storage item; it can be fashioned into a field-expedient pack cover or ground mat, and the UHMWPE cord components can be used to supplement your hammock and tarp suspension in a pinch!. Folds up neatly into its own 8" x 10" pocket inside your pack and is feathery-light! Weighs less than 150 grams (5.2 oz)! Safely supports loads of up to 40 pounds. Price includes ConUS shipping! You will love this gear hammock... (Keeping the last one for myself!)
