Thread: Home made gear

Wow, very cool. Thanks for sharing! I saw a vid of someone using jungle knots last year, very nifty idea.

Today's episode, as promised features a fleece pikau for an upcoming trip. Rolls up and fits into a belt pouch.

Very basic. Folded fleece over, to about the right size. Had some nylon left over from another project, so used that to reinforce the base. Sewed around the two sides (fold made the third), then along the top of the reinforcing.

20mm webbing for the straps (shoulders may moan about that later), with buckle/clip things reversed on each side so the main strap can be removed separately and used for whatever. A little uncertain if that will prove to be as smart as it seemed once it's loaded up - hopefully they both don't let go at once.

Will be put to the test next week!
