Complete DIY setup

Only problem is, now I'm hooked and want to make more!

And thus was a new DIYer created.

That's an ambitious and well executed beginning, and with an integrated bug net too.
Cheers.

Looks awesome!!! Let me know if you have any questions about making quilts! I’ve helped a few guys get started and plan. Cheers to a sweet setup!

Thanks, my plan is something between 3/4-7/8 length for my height (6'1") in the 20° range, I sleep with a 50° nortface bag down to the 40's fine. I'm playing around with the UQ calculator to get exactly 1oz per chamber and order The 850+ fill from wilderness logics. It comes in 1oz packs, it'll make stuffing so much easier. Haven't decided on a suspension yet.

Fantastic job on all items!
Glad to see you jump right in. The thought of all this can be daunting, especially for folks who have never touched a sewing machine. But in reality, anyone with time & patience can do it. Just don't worry about stitches being straight. Crooked stitches hold just as well.

Consider folding your tarp doors inward. They don't catch a gust and they are easy to deploy during a rainstorm, while you stay dry.

Very well done. I know that DIY setup carries lighters, sleeps better, and looks sexier than anything you could buy. Now it's time for a pack...

Do you have any designs on how you did your tarp? very intrested in making my own tarp soon.
