My Locale England
About Me Originally from Georgia, USA now living in England. Enjoy being outdoors and doing any sort of activity from walking, camping, hiking, cycling, whatever as long as I'm in the outdoors.
Most comfortable in the woods but I love watching the sunrise and set from the top of everything. Only got into tarping and lightweight backpacking this year 2010.

Re: Securing the insulation
I'm sure someone with far more experience will come along and confirm or deny this. I was always under the impression that you could quilt it directly to the nylon and do away with the scrim...

Wood Stove - The Aliens Have Landed
After seeing some of MYOG creations and the TiGoat and Kifaru I was inspired to begin thinking about something for me and my two year old for next Autumn and Winter. I liked the better cooking abil...
