Very cool indeed!
I’m glad that the damage wasn’t too bad. If you email me with the dimensions you want, I’ll see if I have a large enough scrap I can set aside for you.
Cheers!

Fabric For Sale
It’s been a long time since I sold any bulk fabric in the DIY Packraft shop (five years?!), so this is a bit of an experiment and I’m not sure how […]-

Interesting project! I am not familiar with those products, so you will have to do some research to figure that out.

The older V2 packraft instructions are not password protected, and the drybag instructions and the heat sealing instructions will be useful for you too. All of them are under the How-To menu.

Tim Riddles sent me these photos of his Telkwa with a really creative camouflage pattern, and I thought it was so cool I had to share them here 🙂

After many prototypes, I finally got the thigh straps and back band to a place where I’m happy with them and I’ve incorporated them into the new kits.
Thanks for the inspiration!
