No pattern I just looked at a lot of packs for features I liked and how I wanted it all to look like and I still have changes to make before I will be content But it's not to bad but as I make more with different features i should get closer to being content...

Yeah I'm not going to market my stuff the same as other people/companys as I already have my LLC but it's not a retail business, I started making gear to help off set the start up cost and I will stick with that, I am just waiting to see what the new tax rate will be before I push forward with it. I...

I have used a panel loader for years and loved it and it broke beyond repair a week before I did a 200 mile trip on the PCT a month or so ago. Since ULA, MLD, SMD and Gossamergear did not make one like I wanted I made my own so now I will be making a few more a little different to find what two styl...

Thanks, No pattern just me thinking of how and what I want it to look like and make it happen. I have done a few tarps and bug bivys but other than that not much other than watching me brothers inlaw years ago as she would make gear for us when we came up with ideas for stuff.

Very cool How was your trip ? In Aug I will be doing the Oregon section of the PCT and I can't wait

So I got some time to try the Jasco paint stripper to remove the liner and it worked good :DB: so I will boil some water in it few times to make sure it is good and clean before I use it. When I am all done I will snap a pic or two and post it Oh yeah it did take two treatments to get it clean and a...

Well I like not having to hump a ton of gear with me as I find it much better and I can cover more ground with less effort and right now my 3 season 2-3 day pack weight is at 14.5 lbs with everything and that is with my old Kelty it is like a redwing but only 2100ci. I do have a ULA Fusion but I gav...
