    BWDD Material results...

    I've been working on some new gear since I ordered materials from BWDD. My order:

    1.1 Silnylon 2nds
    1.1 Camo fabric (68" wide fabric!)
    #3 zipper
    tech-line (dyneema ridgeline)
    + other misc. stuff.

    Items were packed well, fabrics received were well cut and neatly folded, and quickly shipped. (Thanks Scott!)

    the result: Really wide DL hammock, with bugnet, footbox and zipper. and a minimalist tarp. (oh, and a whoopie-stype adjustable ridgeline!)

    The tarp is a bit dusty from the workshop, but it'll clean up (ooh, hose test!)



    I'm happy to say, I've DIY'd everything, except the KAQ...

    Just sayin': Scott has good stuff...

    Looks awesome dude! You have to test out a stealth hang too with all that camo.

    Thanks! For those of you who have some apprehension on a DIY project, all I can say is: It's easier than it looks. Start small, and work your way up to some major projects!
