    Adding zippers to clothes

    I have also wanted to do this and have this video bookmarked: There are a lot of ladies with really clever tricks on Youtube and the sewing forums. I think a #5 zipper would be a good size.

    Made me some tipi creepers

    Those look great! Way to stick with it, my first few tangos with the sewing machine were similarly frustrating. Do you have a link to the pattern you ended up liking the most?

    Ultralight Clothing Systems and Strategies; A novel approach?

    Sounds like a great approach, especially considering you've already tested it a bit. Adding a wind layer to my outdoor clothes was one of the best additions in recent memory. What puffy do you use? Have you ever tried something like the wool fishnet base layers...

    DIY suspender loops

    If you have an old pair of jeans you could probably cut rectangles out of that and fold them in half to make loops for the suspenders. You're probably best off going with whatever your seamstress suggests. I don't recall the width of the suspender buckles, but 1" elastic tape might be a good option.

    Handy Kitchen Gadgets

    +1 for a Peugeot Pepper mill I also recently got a bench scraper and it’s a handy little tool for scooping diced stuff off the cutting board or cutting dough Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding down to jacket

    I agree with the @WoodBow. I think turning an Uncompaghre into a down jacket would be way more effort than it'd be worth. You'd want to add baffles and that would mean deconstructing the entire jacket. You can buy goose down by the ounce though if you wanted to make your own jacket/sleeping...

    Best Sub-Compact 8x32 Bino: T*FL vs UVHD?

    I picked them up on eBay. But they are becoming tougher to come by! I would also +1 everything @Spiral Horn mentioned above, it aligns with the research I did. The B.3s appear to be a great value option, and the Conquest HDs get great reviews. Good luck picking!

    Best Sub-Compact 8x32 Bino: T*FL vs UVHD?

    I bought a pair of used FLs this year after my search for a pair of 8x32s. I tested both of the other pairs you asked about, but only in a store setting. It’s far from an ideal way to test binos, but I knew the view from all three would be an upgrade from my Maven C 10x42, so I wanted to handle...

    Swarovski SLC -> Kahles Helia S

    I exchanged a few emails with Kahles Austria asking about how the warranty would be treated if I bought a pair and brought them back to the US. Email exchange was April 2023, but I did not end up buying a pair. YMMV Me: I am interested in buying a pair of Helia S 42 binos while I am in Europe...

    Does cordura suck?

    I do not think cordura is a poor pack material. It is a decent balance for cost, weight, abrasion resistance, material noise, and weather resistance. There are fabrics that are lighter but noisier or heavier and tougher. 500d cordura is (currently) a sweet spot for a lot of backpack hunters and...

    Made a new back quiver and arm guard

    The stingray hide is very cool. Nice work, I hope they make the club some money! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Seek Outside DST mods?

    Yea, the reinforcement patch is on the backside. Your loops are similar to what I did, but my "bar tacks" were just going back and forth with a zig zag stitch. I will try your method with the square and X next time. Did you use the same material for the reinforcement patches as the body of the...

    Seek Outside DST mods?

    I also sewed my own tarp but ran into problems with the reinforcement patches and tie out loops. When I pitch it, one line of stitches holding the tie out to the patch gets pulled apart (red circle on the left). Sometimes when I tighten it too much, the holes in the outer seam open up a little...

    Live Aerial/Satellite Imagery Applications?

    To get any aerial imagery updated that frequently, I think you would have to pay a considerable chunk of change. Maybe there is a service I am not aware of. Exo Mtn Gear had a podcast recently where they talked to a rep from OnX who mentioned being able to buy recent images for some square mile...

    Kifaru Ultralight Pullouts or something else?

    If you’re DIY inclined and have access to a sewing machine, those zippered pouches are really easy to make and there are tons of examples online. Plus you can customize the size and color of them to your liking. I’ve also read the UL crowd doesn’t use them because they turn your stuff into...

    Plantar fasciitis

    I've been dealing with PF in both feet this year and after quite a bit of work with my physical therapist, this is what has helped me see results: Stretching calves by standing on the edge of a stair like the picture. Usually a minute at a time 8-12 times per day. 2-4 minutes per foot/day...
