My Locale Grants Pass, Oregon
About Me I'm a Physician Assistant working at a lung clinic. I'm married and have two young daughters. I dabble in ultralight, bushcraft, and even car camping. I enjoy making my own equipment, but also believe some things make more since to buy. Volunteering with the local search and rescue gives me a practical use for light weight gear.

Thanks for the comments. Projects like these always take longer than expected. At first it is a lot of fun, but by the time it is half way through you just want to get it finished. The 3 vents a...
