Link to an impressive MYOG tent

Hi Bob (and all others),

Thanks for posting this link!

I actually am affiliated with the person that made that tent since it’s mine :)

I havent really been active in the MYOG community (outside of my personal Instagram that can be found here  https://www.instagram.com/leahikes/ )

– but I hope to change that and get some more gear projects done soon.

Currently I am prototyping a new tent, single wall DCF for those really ultralight tours. I regularly post stories and updates on my projects on Instagram and will try to share the final results here as well (if I ever get out of the prototyping phase)

Lea, that’s bad ass! Great job!

nice job!

it must be difficult to cut out those weird shaped side panels

Nice looking tent. As an off topic, just checked your IG pics – all-terrain unicycle, what the!?!? Looks like you have too much fun :D

Thanks a lot!

Actually I didn’t really plan to make those side panels that weird shape but because it’s made from Silnylon with stretch I realized that somehow that’s the only way they will pitch nice and taught.

So my initial model/cut was a “normal” tunnel with straight sides the. I just kept trimming parts of to improve the fit and somehow ended up with this funny shape -but it works.

And @Josh: yes, cross-country unicycling is an extremely weird but very fun hobby – although I’m not doing it very actively anymore
