I have a few DIY projects in mind over here: Repair my UL Portage Pack that I built last year; also going to add a map pocket. Two different prototypes for extremely lightweight tables. Rain pants, probably more than one set. A modification to my Ultralight Bug Shelter . And I am seriously contemplating another Portage Pack build, a "v2" if you will, hopefully improving on a few things from v1. How about everyone else? |

My winter projects include another pack, but as my V2 Portage Pack was a success...the pack I've just started is a hunting pack. |

I also got a good sized 5x5 inch rip near the edge of my 10x10 foot tarp. Instead of just patching it I’ve decided to cut that section out and add on another 4-5 feet making my tarp about 10x14 or so. I had multiple times last year where I had to basically stake on edge down or bring my canoe up to use as a wind wall. This bigger version solve this. So in two words - more tarps. I’m also toying with making a similar but smaller version of my bug shelter, and also need to repair the one I’ve got. |

sns: "Two different prototypes for extremely lightweight tables." Very much looking forward to seeing your design. Would love a light weight portable table for winter camping. |

Traveler: "Just put together a folding buck saw. When taken apart the blade hides in a slot. This was a trial version, I want to create one with some curves and some more decorative woodworking. This works though! :-) Nice! |

I like the idea you are presenting on the pack. I will be watching that closely and may have to produce one for myself. |
