About Me	I started hiking about 45 years ago. My first backpack was 40 years ago. I currently try to do one backpack trip of 5 nights every month (which can be tricky in the winter) 20 to 50 miles. Mostly I stay around Mount Hood, Columbia Gorge, Mount Adams, Goat Rocks, and the Olympic Peninsula. In recent years I have shifted to lightweight - my pack weight without food and water is about 15 lb (7 kg). I make a lot of my own gear - silnylon tarp-tent, bivy, synthetic bag, simple bag style pack. My sleeping pad is a Therm-a-Rest air mattress.

	Re: Taped Hmmm Maybe the way to do it is to have tape on both sides but no tape where the row of stitches is so the needle doesn't get gummed up	In Make Your Own Gear » My first round of MYOG cuben jacket, kilt, huaraches April 16, 5:31pm
	Re: My first round of MYOG cuben jacket, kilt, huaraches Those look very nice! When you say "bonded" do you mean taped or glued?	In Make Your Own Gear » My first round of MYOG cuben jacket, kilt, huaraches April 16, 4:06pm
