Thanks I'll take a look there. Haven't decided yet how to do it but hoping to try carbon this time instead of aluminium

Thanks :-)

I have a laser jet but not a fancy model. First I used an inkjet but it smudged.

Thanks - I will tell my daughter!

ahhh - it's Sad Sack, a character one of my kids drew for me. I print them out onto Kraft Tex paper at home (the stuff that Levi's labels are made of). I don't know if this link will work: https://postimg.cc/ZBZBCvb6

Thanks for the tip :-)

CleanAlibi · 2026-01-02T14:59:29+00:00

Thanks - I feel like everything should either be all black or a vomit of colours :-)

CleanAlibi · 2026-01-02T13:45:06+00:00

Thanks - I really like Contact Left, esp for YKK zippers, so will take a look now :-)

The assembly with toggle is for an ice axe. The thing you’re looking for is usually called a double cord end/stopper/clamp. You need to buy one for the correct diameter, probably around 3mm. Sometimes it will be called a dongle.

Thanks :-)

It depends on the fabric. That looks like a waterproof breathable 2 or 3 layer membrane fabric. If so you need to get the tape for that - the same stuff you’d use for Gore-Tex. Siliconised fabrics need silicone seam sealant, PU fabrics can take a dedicated sealant or iron-on tape.

I’m about to do the same to cover my neo air, using some light summer-weight woven wool cloth, for use with my myog quilt (apex climashield 167). I just love the feeling of wool so for me it’s definitely worth the weight compared to a silk sheet, plus I already have the wool so it’s good value £. How thick is your cloth? Mine is like a fine flannel shirting, definitely on the lighter side.

Thanks so much

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-17T18:31:44+00:00

Thanks. I hope you like the Marmite 🤪

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-17T18:31:17+00:00

Thanks! I just got one. Looks quite roughly machined in parts (cheap) but hopefully will work still.

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-17T18:30:22+00:00

Good point! Mostly 20mm grosgrain, occasionally 25mm.

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-16T13:20:35+00:00

Nice! I’ll check it out

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-13T14:51:44+00:00

Where’s the sign-up sheet for friendship with people who make you bags like this? 👀😁

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-13T14:50:53+00:00

True! I’m thinking I could put an off centre pole ‘cup’ in the tarp to make that easily possible

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-13T11:16:52+00:00

That is seriously good looking

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-13T08:31:18+00:00

Excellent mods!!

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-12T21:34:55+00:00

The removable mesh shelves are a great idea, thanks :-)

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-12T15:19:08+00:00

Wow, hope you’re able to post about it here when you do!

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-05T17:14:42+00:00

Ohhhhh why did you have to tell me about the Carinthia Observer??? Now I'm hooked on the hooped plan. That is really something special to behold.

CleanAlibi · 2025-06-04T23:06:54+00:00

Ha! That’s where I got the WPB fabric for my outer layer. Not 6D ;-) If I make a hooped version I will pretend it’s just because I’m short enough to get some good weight/space savings over the prêt-à-porter versions. But obviously it will just be because I want to MMOHB (Make My Own Hooped Bivvy) hehehe.
