My Locale Above the Divided Line
About Me I backpack as the Studliest Studly Studmuffin of Studly Studliness who ever Studlied himself out of Studlyville.

I cut a large path while leaving no trace and carring less than three pounds in my pack.

If you want knowledge of some real scientific prinicples, talk to me and I will guide you to the sun.

See you on the other side.

And remember to keep to the mean.

Re: Re: Re: Multiuse sleeping bags
Why bother with the hole in the middle of the quilt? Just wrap it around your shoulders, and then sew on some velco to hold it in place. This works better than having a hold because the quilt enc...

Re: sul
I will post a weight for the tarp after I decide to make it a cape or a poncho, and then finish it off.

GoLite Ether Wind Shirt (Wisp HP)
