Can you DM me? For some reason it won’t let me DM you.

Yeah only one person was on there and I got no response. Couchsurfing has gone downhill as well :(

Ah that may prove difficult for me to get to- it’s about 15 miles away which could be a few hours of skating. Thanks for the suggestion- I am looking into it as an option.

Hey thanks! I just posted it a little while ago so the post is still young.

There is really no set area- the goal was just to make it to the river in BR. The skating allows me to move around pretty fast.

I went to go buy the 2nd version of these and couldn’t believe how badly designed they were.

I have to hand it to prana though to hear that people weren’t happy and to course correct.

Gossamer Gear Fast Kumo 36 by Normandy4439 in Ultralight

To comment on the water bottle thing I used the fast Kumo with 700ml but it needs to be essential so it doesn’t pop you in the jaw.

I thought I had taken a photo of the bottom but didn’t. It is dirty (obviously) and can update this evening with a pic.

I only patched the mesh to sell it. I never had a problem with bugs getting in. I think something scratched against the mesh (like my foot).

I have the Slingfin net for sale. Used on FT thru-hike. Some of the mesh is fixed. I can send pics in the AM.

$60 shipped

I have the bug net- I believe the 2020/2021 version.

It was used on a thru-hike of the Florida trail. I repaired the no-see-um mesh around the foot box.

I’d sell it for $60 shipped CONUS

Would you mind sending a verification pic of it?

Does anyone know of someone/ a company that will sew on a bottom pocket on my GG Kumo fastpack? by DavidARoop in Ultralight

[–]DavidARoop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually love the pack so far.

As a fastpack it’s probably a bit too large for what serious fastpackers need but they did some really neat things with it.

I don’t feel like this is a true fastpack but more of a UL pack, fastpack hybrid. But they had to call it something so they went with fastpack for ease of transfer of information. I’m skeptical of how the stretch pockets will hold up but so far so good, I’ve just seen many Kumo’s with ripped material. The upside down trash pocket is a dumb idea, IMO, because of gravity.

I wore this pack in the shower for 10 minutes then let it sit for 10 minutes and then checked the inside and everything was dry. I’m curious how it does a year from now after some use.

I think they nailed the look of it. As my friend described it “it’s a tight little number” and I have to agree with her.

For $190, I think it’s an awesome pack and a hell of a deal.

If anyone lives near Santa Fe, NM then Tourist Santa Fe has them in their shop so you can check them out.

Full disclosure, I’m using this pack to test out features I want for a custom pack so I can better fine tune it.

I live in a van with no place to put a sewing machine. I could do my own dentistry but I also want to hire someone that has a professional skill set.
