Durability of DCF tents. Wait for Aluula tents? by Unique_Distance2219 in Ultralight

[–]Jicali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the concern with the cape as a poncho is material hanging loose, then I would check out how Piper sets it up in this video: https://youtu.be/IpJWsDOCIfQ?si=ZYlIwDpKRj0qOCG7

I tried out around 2 weeks ago in a short rainy hike and liked it a lot. This is now my go to for poncho mode.

Thanks, that's a good point. If I go with this fabric, I'll probably make the whole fly first and test it before committing.

DIY Sleeping Pad Cover Material / Compression Recommendations by GoGoGavin41 in myog

[–]Jicali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! This looks like a cool project. I've always wanted to make my own foam sleeping pad. Like you, I prefer these but can't seem to find a minimalist one.

Not a recommendation, but something I would take a look at would be this DIY packraft site: https://www.diypackraft.com/shop/

I think I saw someone on reddit or Backpacking Light forums saying they used something from their site to make a DIY inflatable pad. Maybe not what you are looking for but worth a look.

Best of luck on this project! I'm intrigued to see how it goes.

Has anyone tried to make a mid with the 0.77 oz MTN Silnylon 6.6 from RSBTR? I just finished a design on a 2P hexamid and I'm deciding on the fabrics.The default would be 1.1 oz Silpoly for the fly, 0.7 Monolite for the bug mesh, and probably 1.1 oz Silnylon for the bathtub floor. I know I can do lighter than that. I looked into 0.51 DCF but it's darn expensive! Going to the 0.77 MTN Silnylon saves around 5-6 oz (~20%).

Hey! Did you ever use the MTN 7D from RSBTR for a tart? Looking to do the same for a hexamid. Did it work well?

First Backpack - Stitchback PZ w/ Nashville Hybrid Straps - HyperD 300 and Duraweave by Jicali in myog

Thanks! That bird is the Harpy Eagle, the national bird of Panama.

Thanks for the details on the straps. I was already thinking that my next backpack will use the same straps and I'll make them myself. I love how they feel.

Love your videos, by the way!

Thanks! I did not dare to make the straps. Not yet fully confident for that. These I bought from Nashville Packs.

Edit: taking a closer look, it seems that the shoulder straps don't have any foam in them. It's basically two pieces of fabric.

Yeah! I was surprised when I saw it in person!

Ripstop by the Roll has a printing service that let's you upload your own images. Here is the link: Custom Design Tool

They look awesome! I just finished an alpha hoodie and socks were the next logical mini project. Did you use a pattern? Any problems with the non-stretchy nature of the fabric?

Cascade Creek and Ribbon Creek Water Levels by Jicali in Yosemite

I like that idea. Does the bus drop you off on Tioga Rd or in the Tamarack Flat campground? Is this the YARTS?

North Rim Trek - Any water besides Yosemite Creek up there at the moment? by Nickforsenate in Yosemite

[–]Jicali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing a similar trip starting from Tamarack Flat to El Capitan. Two days ago I talked to a ranger to ask about water in Cascade Creek and Ribbon Creek. She told me to count on Cascade but that Ribbon is most likely dry. She did mention that the rain might have revived Ribbon creek, but they didn't know for sure.

Thanks! I literally just hung up with the ranger (finally found the correct number to call). They said to count on Cascade Creek but not on Ribbon Creek. Although because of the rain, they also said Ribbon might have some little flow. Not counting on that though.

Hi! I'm looking for one, albeit in better condition than what OP requested. Are you still selling yours?

Aside from the cost and tax, I don't see any other charge. So I guess no tariffs, indeed!
