This was a great purchase. Built the hammock in an hour with my kids and we are all loving it. Was easy to sew and it's a great size.
I purchased some dyneema fabric as well as some double sided tape (half inch and one inch). My original plan was to replace my tent floor and I was going to leave about an inch all around and just tape in the new floor. But, I decided to replace the whole floor and sew it in. So I only needed the tape to seal the corners. By cutting scraps into one inch strips I was able to create dyneema repair tape and match the color of my new floor. I now have lots of repair tape and used other scraps to make waterproof roll top bags, a waterproof first aid kit and a waterproof wallet by taping the seams with the dyneema tape.
I absolutely love the webbing that I ordered. My friends love their key fobs too! Will definitely order again!
As a beginner, it's nice to know everything I need except sewing machine and thread are in the package. Also pleased to see the thought behind the kit. I wanted the lightest hammock bug net I could make. I was delighted to see that RBTR included small diameter shock cord and very small cord locks, in keeping with my desire for an ultralight net.
My son's new favorite piece!
Paired 3/8” UL Side Release Buckle with 1/2” UL MIL-SPEC Nylon Grosgrain Ribbon when making my Dyneema pack liner. Light weight, buckles and unbuckles easily.
This 'standard bivy' was fabricated according to the Green Pepper pattern using 1.0 Silnylon MTN for the bottom, 1.0 Hyper-D for the top, a polypro mesh visor, and a removable (velcro) 0.7 MicroLite bug hood. The top is breathable and water-resistant, so it must be used in tandem with a tarp, shelter, or fast-pitch rainfly. It's about 7.5 oz.
I make zippered bags from this super lightweight fabric. Great quality and fast shipping
I love the DIY Kit, it is a great idea to introduce your products. That being said, the three fabrics are different. A small label on each piece to let us know exactly which fabric we are working with would have been very helpful for future order planning.
The samples I ordered are inspiration for projects. It's nice to actually touch and see the material before I make a purchase.
Kit was great and the video did a good job of explaining the construction steps. It was exactly what I wanted.
Ripstop is the best. Support for small business, very quick shipping/processing, quality materials, and good pricing. What more can ya ask for.
Have made several (8 or more) quilts from gossamer 0.56 to >1.1 oz per sq. yd in calendared nylon membrane ripstop, taffeta and hyperD options, I think this is my overall favorite and the sweet spot in terms of weight, durability, and soft, smooth silky skin sensation The lighter stuff is kind of like sewing tissue paper, and the other stuff can feel clammy.
Last night my 9 year old daughter showed me how to sew and we built this kit together. We followed the youtube video step by step, and had a blast making the tote. I will definitely be ordering/making more for friends and family.
Got this in sage for a down blanket I’m doubling the down on with baffles. Works very well
Great little carabiner, that’s actually functional for lots of uses other than climbing. Very small, both my wife and I carry one on our keys!
