Sorry, I was mistaken. I have a mystery ranch popup large hipbelt. I am using my L seek outside hip belt. I do have an XL SO belt, but can't seem to find it.
Zipper does work! It's 110" but I think I can cut to length of LBO zippers and put zipper stops on the cut ends. Looks like that is how its done on the LBO.
I can shoot SO with where I got it from, if that would help. They probably buying in bulk though.
Interesting, thanks for the info. I was able to source the rest of the parts through here. However i have been thinking about making a vestibule without a stovejack for a lighter option in the summer. Been trying to find a zipper match. Ykk #8 two way separating ones with the square pull tabs...
If you do seperate. I'd be interested in the base without stove jack, the nest and the tarp (if the other falls through). Maybe one or two of the poles too. Depending on price.
Damn, I didn't even look a stock status. I just picked up an LBO/base and looking for a tarp and another base as well. They didn't have the stove jack option in that batch (I didn't think), so I was waiting for that.
Yeah I'd go with Mara 70 for this type of project. https://ripstopbytheroll.com/collections/thread-tools-repair/products/gutermann-mara-70 That is what I've used for the one quilt I made.

I've used it for a few projects. I have a hammock made out of it and I also made a backpack with a front pocket made of monolite. The hammock has done great. The backpack pocket had some rips/tears in it from dragging it down some rocks and not being easy on it. However, the rips did stop...
Pulled the pack off the frame of my 28 last night. I think I'm going to make a hotshot type setup. With a bag and load shelf on the bottom and some molle/pals up top. Then I can mount the platform up top.
Just need to find some buckles to match the existing ones. That way I won't have cut...

you might think about putting it on ebay (if you have an account), I sold mine about two months ago for 244.50. That was no reserve and free shipping. It was only a 5 day auction too (always do 7) Probably cleared 225-30 after shipping and ebay fees.
Otherwise, bump for a good deal ;)
