Made a ~50L pack liner out of 1.0 oz Dyneema to fit both my larger ULA Catalyst backpack and my Osprey Mutant 38 mountaineering backpack.

The design minimizes seams and uses folded darts to create a domed bottom and elevate the bottom seam by about 8 centimeters. Fully seam taped to keep water out.

The roll top uses 4mm foam as a stiffener and 3 snaps to hold the edges together before rolling. A 15mm (5/8") Magic buckle snaps together when closing thanks to small magnets in each half.

The Bio Hazard alerts anyone who dares to open the liner after sweating for several days in the great outdoors.

Total weight: 58gr.

Sent home almost half a kilo (420g) of stuff that I don’t need.

Somehow it’s always like that, I tend to overpack for no good reason despite being oh so weight conscious. And then on trail I notice every unnecessary gram.

Any thru hikers out there have recommendations for lightweight solar panels? Ideally with USB-C ports, not USB-A ports, and ideally able to charge a phone directly, not requiring a power bank intermediary?

An issue that confronts the would-be urban walker determined to traverse a megacity from one boundary to the other: do you outfit and equip yourself for ordinary urbanity, or for the walk?

I’m halfway minded to adopt some of the practices and tactics I use in #ultrarunning and #ultralight hiking, but by the same token poles and hydration bladders and so on stick out like a sore thumb. You want to be able to move through crowds, duck into bodegas, pet the local cats, etc.

Quick random question for #London #ultralight folks: is there anywhere you recommend for minor technical fabric repairs/retaping of seams?

My partner has a much-loved bag in ripstop polyamide that she’d rather repair than replace, after eleven years of daily service, and I’m right there with her. Any help you can render very greatly appreciated!

Thought all you lightweight fanatics out there might like this tool, especially as we are all getting older and the knees creakier 🤣

Looks like the summer season is starting early in #Colorado. On the one hand, it was nice to test some new gear so early in the season. On the other, it’s still March and this is less than one linear mile from a place I was skiing in steep, deep powder only three weeks ago.

For any #ultralight #camping people out there (or regular camping folks) who are considering using #diy or #myog or even commercially available alcohol stoves but are concerned with the flames being invisible; I have just confirmed that 2 grams of common table salt dissolved in 100 mL of HEET makes the flames VERY visible. It does leave some salt deposits around the flames holes in the stove, but they rinse off very easily. Experiments with other alcohols to follow.

Hallo Zusammen,

ich bin neu hier auf dem mountains.social Server, daher auch hier eine kurze Vorstellung:
On-Trail bin ich Hiker7, leichtes Gepäck, weite Wege ist mein Ding. Ich beschäftige mich viel mit Gear und MYOG (Make Your Own Gear), also dem Selbernähen und -bauen von Ausrüstung.

Daneben blogge ich zusammen mit LaMa über das Thema Outdoor, oft aus einem politisch-philosophischen Blickwinkel auf https://www.ferals.eu

Hello everyone,
I'm new here on the mountains.social server, so here's a quick introduction: On the trail I go by Hiker7 – light pack, long miles is my thing. I spend a lot of time thinking about gear and MYOG (Make Your Own Gear), meaning sewing and building my own equipment.
Alongside that, I blog together with LaMa about outdoor topics, often from a political-philosophical angle, at https://www.ferals.eu

One of the things I love about #capitalism is how often the desire to develop or serve a given market (in order to, gasp, make a profit, sin of sins) leads to a product being accessible and useful to another market. Pre-cut fruit, apparently for lazy people, is also apparently a nice option for people with certain #disabilities. The cheap PET plastic bottle? VERY popular with #ultralight #camping enthusiasts. There are examples all around you of this effect, if you look for them..

The backpack pattern thus far in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io). Piece mode shows the 3 pattern pieces: Back, Bottom & Front. The Variables dialog window shows some of the parameters driving the dimensions of the pieces.

A 2nd packpack prototype, this time out of Tyvek. The final version will be made out of Ultra 200X which has no stretch and rather stiff. This prototype out of Tyvek shows how the final pack will "feel".

This version is deeper, taller and wider than the 1st version. I refined the bottom shape, which was relatively easy to do thanks to the parametric design in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io).

First prototype in fabric after drafting a pattern in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io/) based on the initial paper prototype. Made from recycled cotton. This prototype validated the pattern while also identifying several areas of improvement.

Starting to prototype my first backpack. Made the initial prototype out of paper to get a feel for the shape I have in mind. I find it easier to iterate with paper and tape before continuing the design in software and fabric.

The first pattern was created in a vector graphics program (Affinity Designer). Adjusting margins, offsets turned out to be a pain in the neck.

Then I found out that FreeCAD, a parametric 3D modeling application, can export 2D views. I redid the same wallet design with all critical dimensions parameterized.

Producing wallets catering to different bill sizes is now as simple as adjusting one or two parameters.

Refined my wallet pattern and explored a black logo on black Ultra 200 fabric to create the Dark Money Wallet.

Added a needle positioner. Now the needle always stops down, for easier and more accurate turns. A quick heel press on the pedel lifts the needle up. #MYOG #sewists #backpacking #ultralight
