DIY Nomad 2, camp bag, grab it, and lid.

Thanks fellas. This is becoming an addiction.

I will attempt to get some pictures of the templates I made up over the weekend.

You definitely do great work. My materials showed up today for my attempt at a DIY pack. I've got this crazy idea for a Kuiu/ Eberlestock/ Kifaru bag. Hopefully it turns out as nice as yours.

I don't think my mother knew what she was signing up for when she offered to help and the use of her machine.

Squirrels, I don't live that far from you, I don't think. Maybe you could give sewing lessons?

I'm not sure how much you could/need learn from me, but I'd be happy to give you some guidance based on what I know, which is not much!

Beautiful work!!!! Quick question: any reason you copied Kifaru on the height of the bag? I've always wondered why they don't make the wings full height. Seems like a waste of space. Not picking at you. Your work is spectacular. Just curious

No reason at all other than the fact you would need to make the panel longer that is up against the frame. In all honesty for my use the panel is useless. I'm about to start the 2nd generation and it won't have the panel at all that hangs over the frame with all the pals webbing. It will essentially be two pods that attach to the frame more like the Exo HH does. Much quicker build since the pals panel serves no purpose for me.

Looking forward to seeing this! I don't use the panel either.

Sounds like your Version 2 will be very close to what I plan to make, basically side pods that can be used as a stand-alone, with a basic camp bag or dry bag, or as additional load capability alongside a standard pack bag. can't wait to see how it turns out.

Hi Squirrels, did you ever get a chance to take a photo of your templates?

very impressed with your work, i'd love to get a head start when I try something similar.

Sorry took so long

Many thanks, I'm glad I checked, I doubt I would have gone down the right path

I was originally just going to create a fabric cylinder to make the tubes, but that version is so much better looking

Version 2.0 wings are done I will try to post a pic in the morning. I like them more.

I like these a good bit more. There are some slight changes I think would make them even better... maybe version 3.
These are 24" long, 6" wide, and 5" tall. I'm not sure I'll even need a lid now.

All the stuff in the picture will go in the wings with room for some more small items.

Nice, I like the elastic cord and the deeper sleeves, can't wait to see it attached to the frame

 

[Colby Jack]

Love them. How will you attach to the frame? Pic next to your version 1 for size reference?
