Does anyone have a way to figure how much down I should put in each baffle on a jacket I am making? I bought 6 oz of 800 full down and my baffles are sewn through and the are 3-1/2” apart.
My initial plan was to jus divide the 6oz up evenly on each baffle and go with that but I have a few...
We are looking at going to Alaska next year for our 25th anniversary. We are looking at flying into Anchorage, and wondering if we would be able to visit all the southern national parks on 1 trip. We have already been to Glacier Bay, but looking to visit the other 5 from Denali south. Most...
anyone make any insulated pants for glassing? I am looking to make some with apex insulation, just trying to figure out if i should use 2.0 or 3.6oz
just something i would use while stationary
any thoughts?
would there be any issue with using PU coated fabric for a down jacket? I have a synthetic jacket someone made for me with apex insulation and 1.6 ripstop, but it is not very wind resistant. Looking for something more wind resistant, and down proof. I realize it will not breath, but I would...
looking for blaze orange softshell fabric to make a vest out of. I would prefer something that has DWR coating, and is relatively quiet and durable. Only thing i have found is non-stretch nylon, or just spandex.
I am looking to make a backpack style rifle sling. I want to be able to carry my rifle on my back with 2 straps. I am going to use cordura for the outer strap, but what is everyone using for the foam and inner materials? I was thinking neoprene since it is smooth on the inside and does have...
I currently have a 26" kifaru duplex frame with a bag that I sewed.
I am looking for something a little smaller that I could use as carry-on or more every day use. I really cannot come up with a good idea on how to make an internal frame/support to help the belt work properly. The duplex...
Recently I had to have a fairly major foot surgery. The doctor broke my heal bone (calcaneal osteotomy) and moved it over to correct me from walking on the out part of my foot. I also had a torn tendon in my ankle that was repaired. Since the surgery I have noticed none of my shoes fit very...

So I have been dealing with foot pain my whole adult life (42 now). For the past 6-7 weeks my feet have hurt very bad so I decided to go to the foot DR to get some insoles. So they took X-rays and the DR came in and told me I need surgery on my feet. Both feet need
Calcaneal osteotomy (heel...
I mostly white tail hunt in VA. I currently have a pair of Danners and last year when I hunted in Colorado my feet got pretty beat up so I am looking for something with more support. I have been looking at the Kenetrek hardscrabbles and the Crispi Nevadas. Living in VA I really do not have...

Last year was my first time hunting elk/mule deer in Colorado. I was on a fully guided hunt, and we hunted out of a lodge. it was a very comfortable hunt, 3 meals, hot showers, and tv. I have planned another elk only hunt in SW Colorado for 2018. After that hunt, i will need to look for...
I am considering sewing a floor less shelter for Midwest hunting. I have considered both a pyramid and a typical A-frame style tent design with vestibules at both ends. What do most people find to be more comfortable? This will be for 2-3 men for 5-7 days. Typically archery or early season (...
I just picked up my new Tikka in 300 wsm. Do most people use the clamp on style rings, or add a base and rings? it came with clamp on style rings, but most people say they are junk.
