I made an underquilt from JCP puffer jackets that we scored on clearance for $14 each. Its a crazy Frankenstein quilt, but I feel pretty good about it for a first attempt and it makes a nice summer option with the hammock.
I would LOVE some of the Tyvek RocksNSocks, if there is any left. I was getting ready to buy some for our upcoming trip. We need three pieces for the staging area under the hammocks.
I also recently got some neoprene that I will be making into cozies for our dehydrated food bags.
How many jackets did you use for the quilt?Lost in the right direction. -
Yes there is, shoot me your info in a PM and I'll get it out just as soon as I can. So that's three pieces 8' by 36" x three, do i have that right?

Nice quilt, way to dirt baggit.
I've been in and out on the internet the last few days...so if anyone asked for some tyvek and I didn't see it, please let me know and my apologies in advance. -

I used 3 jackets, sized XXL. I seam ripped them down to the core portions of the jacket (no sleeves, or collar) and then sewed them all together. I may end up trying to make some down booties with the leftover sleeves.
I have another three XL jackets that I will be making for myself, and my husband will use the current one.
And *thank you* rocksNsocks! I sent you a PM. -
you could make down camp pants or down pajamas, or just 'overbootie thingies!Cheesecake> Ramen

Down PJs sound lovely, but I think I'll just have enough for booties. If I succeed, I'll share my project here!

Hey JJ...got the package today, thank you so much. I'll be mailing something for you as soon as I can get to the PO. Don't worry about the arm warmers, I'd like to try to make them myself.
Looks like I'll be getting the arm warmers after all...JJ, you're so generous!Lost in the right direction. -

You guys are unbelievable. I love the rock sack and larger bag. Being a gram weenie, I am in 7th heaven. I am working on another version. When I perfect it, you will be getting another stove.

Hey RS! I got my tyvek. Do you want a stove?Non hikers are about a psi shy of a legal ball.

Oh, glad to hear that, I was wondering when it would arrive. Moose got hers last week, but she's in jersey, so. Ya know BB I would love one at some point, but you have your shop full of orders right now, and I have two I made...but hey, if you get some down time and need to clean out the project box, you have my info, and I'd use it with big Bird Brain Pride.

Your very welcome BirdBrain. I had a lot of scraps left over from making my tarp and net tent so I was glad that for a just a little work I could give some people some gear. You really owe me nothing. gif.004"Dazed and Confused"

That sled was not readily available in the US for a number of years. Now EraPro is selling them as the "ERAPRO/PARIS Pro Expedition Sled" for about 3x what they're worth on Amazon. They are back on REI's site, but currently out of stock. True Value has them on their site for $37.99 if there's a store near you where you can pick it up. Lots of other outlets popped up on the Google.-

Anyone notice that the "SnoFlake" comes with quantity of 6? Are they assuming you have 6 little kids you want to pull around? I hope it is not because the quality is so poor you need replacements. Most people might not want to put their toddler in something like that.
The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

I noticed there was a "Us Army Molle Desert Camo Molded Waist Belt" listed as "frequently bought together" with the EraPro expedition sled on Amazon. $14.
