    Thanks Willow, I figured that was what you were doing but just not sure. I order one of the edge joining foot that you sent me the link to.

    Thanks for the info and link. I just watched a couple of videos on the edging jointer foot but still not sure how you are sewing your binding tape with it. Thanks again for the help.

    Cimarron Pole

    Do you have any pics of the broke poles? I am using the REI pole with my Luna 6 and it has worked fine. I'm using the 6' but maybe I should upgrade to the 8' and cut it down like you mentioned. How hard was it to shorten and was it still adjustable? Was it the wind or snow load that broke the...

    Well, I finally found me a Singer 401A and it's headed north to me now. I can't wait to get it and start learning to sew.

    Sewing Machine

    Would a Singer 401A be a good starting machine? Here in Fairbanks, Alaska there is not many places to look/buy machines. You can buy new ones but I don't want to invest a lot at first until I see I can/like sewing. I have found a couple of Singer 401A that are fairly cheap and shipping isn't to...

    Sewing Machine

    It would just be used for my personal use and I would like to be able to sew some thicker stuff. I would like to learn to make some of my own gear. Also,the sewing will all be new to me so I don't need a super fancy one.

    DIY Quilt for the Cold

    Around 20* if I remember right and that's going off websites that sell quilts. The 10 oz is used in 0* quilts.

    Is a "meat shelf" what you want in a pack?

    A meat shelf really helps here in Alaska when you have to haul that moose quarter out whole on the bone.

    Tipi stove jack location

    I second the BPWD stove jack. I just had them install one in my Luna 6 and I like the extra flap that lays up against the pipe to redirect any water running down from the top.

    VIAM vs EE Quilt

    I talked with the owner of VIAM today and he will make a 0* quilt. He will be adding it to his website soon and he uses 10 ounce climashield for the 0* quilt. Seems like a very nice guy and was very helpful.

    VIAM vs EE Quilt

    That is what I'm working on now. I will be trying to call some places tomorrow to see what insulation/weight of insulation they use. If it's the same as others, then where is the difference in rating coming from?

    VIAM vs EE Quilt

    Not trying to start a fight but when the sponsoring company says they want make you a synthetic quilt rated for lower then the 20* one they sell, then you look elsewhere for what you want/need. I'm not saying they are not a good company by no means, they just don't have what I am looking for.
