Sep 16, 2006 at 8:57 am #1363082When will the other articles come out? I can’t wait. By the way I like the compression system on the pack. Nice design.
Sep 20, 2006 at 5:29 am #1363334Great article and I admire your organization!
Can you add to it some internet suppliers of the spinnaker fabric that you use?
Thanks amigo! -Migs
Nov 16, 2006 at 1:19 pm #1367361any idea when part 2 will be released?
Dec 7, 2006 at 2:13 pm #1369865This is where I am headed, making my own gear or using commercially available gear to suit my particular needs. I already asked my partner to teach me how to use her sewing machine … my idea is to use a GG Whisper and a UL 45 REI pack harness to create a true UL pack out of both. With the Whisper as a removable bag portion and something like the pack in this article, using the GG pack as the base for the bag part. I learn so much here it is awesome. And gets rid of the addiction I have to buying whatever looks right or good, because of lack of time to develop the kinds of intstructions, templates, and concepts already done by people here.

Mar 3, 2010 at 7:22 pm #1581435Nice! loved it, i am inspired. Been making alot of silnylon gear, and may have to step up to this next winter.
DanaMar 4, 2010 at 9:58 am #15816461. I wish you had the actual "lines" in a pattern in a file for us to download and use.
2. The use of material is highly interesting. What CAD program is that? It allows you to drag-and-drop the shapes?
These are the two reasons I am reluctant to spend for expensive materials: not having a great pattern and waste of the expensive materials.
I feel I can work on skills, if necessary.
The article here: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/myog-laminating-silicone-impregnated-fabrics?m=004776-_3HjXS36Y6MnOohH-JZg is very helpful in that regard.
