Who needs Expensive Cuben fiber when the grocery store has free fabric
Jul 12, 2010 at 2:34 pm #1628302Yes, free, but it tends to rip as soon as you put something in it.
I use those bags for picking up my dog's faeces (the "profanity" filter doesn't filter this term, probably thanks to the British spelling). I discovered some years back that it's a very good idea to double-bag this particular substance. Let's just say that I didn't notice the rip until I'd walked for a while with the bag tied to my belt!
Jul 12, 2010 at 3:48 pm #1628323Awesome Stephen! Can you use these bags for cooking fuel too? And can you make shoes out of them?!?
Jul 12, 2010 at 4:11 pm #1628329Doug. You're close on the shoes. VBL socks anyway.
Jul 12, 2010 at 4:49 pm #1628333This was my friends Idea when he forgot his day pack. I offered him my old 2lb day pack but he thought that was to heavy. It actually lasted for a 19 mile day hike from Stampede pass to Snoqualmie pass on the PCT yesterday. He says he is going to keep it for our next day hike.
