Did the wings. Next up is the back, which includes another pocket. I was going to make it a zipper but I ordered the wrong size. I might make it an elastic pocket like the sides, or scrounge a zipper off one of the kids’ old outfits. Thoughts on zipper vs elastic? This is the pocket I like to...
Update: support says the glitch is fixed, but I still can’t see any of my markers. And at some point they discontinued offline maps for the free version without warning. They gave me a code for a free premium membership for a year, but I’m going to switch to OnX. Price difference is five bucks a...
Slow progress. I had to undo and redo most of what I’ve got so far, but here it is. This is the front panel and the two sides. Next I’ll cut out and assemble the wings.
I’ve thought about doing that very thing. We’ll see if this bug fix can be out in a reasonable amount of time. Mostly, I wanted to alert anyone else using StH that they are having issues and to check your app before heading out.
I checked my app this week and it wouldn’t load. Restarted my phone, app still wouldn’t load. Deleted app and re-downloaded. Now it loads but all my waypoints are gone. Customer service says there’s a bug in the new software release and they will fix it ‘soon’.
If you use Scout To Hunt, and...
Took a look. I think I figured out what you mean. Is this right now?
I bought the pack used and took it apart a couple of times. I was guessing a bit when I put it back together. I appreciate everyone’s help!
Okay, was able to figure out that I was, in fact, doing something dumb. I didn’t have the straps from the belt to the lumbar support tightened, so the weight of the whole pack was riding on those little velcro straps. Once I tightened the belt straps enough to carry the load, the Velcro stays...
I designed the wings big enough to accommodate some molle webbing. I’m worried about them getting in the way of my pack should straps, but I think this will work. I haven’t decided yet what will go on the wings - I don’t have a rangefinder yet, but a phone pouch and knife sheath are current...
Used this pack (got the frame and belt used) all last year with no issues. Midway through a training session this Velcro strap that secures the waist belt comes loose. I put it back and a few outings later it comes off again. Now it’s coming off as soon as I put the pack on. Training weight is...
Do you have an older model? Is there a difference between what you get when you buy a new pair of binoculars and if you bought a glasspak standalone? I have what came with my crossfires from a couple years ago and it has no Velcro.
I finally ordered all the materials. I’ll have cordura outside with a waterproof liner. Still debating if I want a deployable rain cover - probably a good idea. Hopefully by next week I’ll have materials, which gives me a week to draw out a detailed pattern.
So true! The number of different materials to get all the features I want exploded quickly. But I’ll have enough fabric to make several bags, so if the first one doesn’t work I can try again at no additional cost.
I have almost everything I need in my shopping carts from Ripstopbytheroll, but they are out of stock on the pocket mesh. I got to wait just a couple of days - I really don’t want to pay shipping twice.
Finally sat down to sketch out pattern ideas, and quickly realized that trying to do the body as one piece would make it very hard to hide seams and add all the pockets in a way that doesn’t look shoddy. So my plan for construction is to make the individual panels and wings separately and then...
