  1. 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.

  3. Achievement unlocked! The Brother KE-430D bar tacker I bought last year is now fully operational. I have access to all 89 stock patterns.

    The control panel of the machine says 3 phase 220V which had me scramble to get 3 phase power to the basement. Closer inspection however, revealed that the bar tacker was wired for single phase 220V, which I already have available. A new power plug brought the machine to life.

    This is when I learned that the work clamp was worn and the work plate didn't support all patterns. Now with a new clamp and plate, I can sew all available patterns. I can't wait to put this machine to use!

  5. 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.

  7. Wir nähen seit Jahren selbst. Nicht (nur) weil wir sparen müssen, sondern weil sich im Machen etwas verschiebt.

    870 Gramm. Double Quilt. Climashield Apex, 7d und 10d Nylon. Neun Meter Material, Zuschnitt, Fußbox, Verjüngung, krumme Nähte, schiefe Kanten. Aber: funktioniert!

    MYOG ist eine Praxis der Aneignung. Wer selbst näht, lernt Materialität: wie Stoffe sich verhalten, wo Nähte reißen, wer selber macht und repariert, macht sich unabhängiger von Verfügbarkeit, Lieferketten, Marketingzyklen- und hypes.

    Das Draußen wird anders, wenn wir es nicht nur konsumieren, sondern es herstellen, wenn wir verstehen, wie die Dinge gemacht sind, wenn der Schlafsack, der Rucksack, nicht Produkt ist, sondern Prozess.

    Vom Kaufen zum Können, vom Besitzen zum Verstehen.

  9. The backpack pattern thus far in Seamly2D (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.

  11. 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 (seamly.io).

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

  15. 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.

  17. Clamshell ultra light First Aid bag out of 1.43oz and 1.0oz #dyneema. Aquaguard YKK zipper for a near waterproof container, large enough for longer adventures. At 20 grams light enough to use on overnighters.

    Ample room to do double duty and also accomodate toiletries.

    YKK zipper, Dyneema, Venom UHMWPE Hybrid webbing from RipStopByTheRoll.com

    The bag's decal is a Direct Heat Transfer (DTF) label.

  19. Camp on a variant of the HRP (Pyrenean high route). One of the most beautiful I‘ve had. Somewhere between Spain and France near Lescun, July 2024

  23. 🚨 New blog post! Cap Puckhaber dives into the quiet revolution of Ultralight Woven Dyneema vs. Dyneema Composite Hybrid (DCH). It's more than just a fabric change—it’s a mindset shift for every backpacker.

  24. I had the great honor and privilege of hosting a conversation with Kim Stanley Robinson, who I believe to be our greatest living #scifi writer, on #SeldonCrisis. We talked about a wide range of topics; #climate, #space, #Mars, several of his novels, in particular #Aurora, #MinistryForTheFuture #music, and #UltralightBackpacking #ScienceFiction #ClimateChange #ClimateFiction

    Enjoy!

  26. Pre-release for #SeldonCrisis patrons of my conversation with legendary sci-fi writer #kimstanleyrobinson.

    We talked about #AI, #ClimateChange, #InterstellarTravel, new forms of #Governance and #Finance needed to avert catastrophe, characters and plot lines in his novels, the debate between settling #Mars now vs fixing #Earth first, #Utopia vs #Dystopia, and his love of #UltralightBackpacking.
