A small preview of my future homemade backpacking gear...
Showing the material I recycled from an old tent and and a prelude to the ultra light backpacking bivy tent that is in the making. Plus a surprise for a good friend!

  • OH MAN!! How cool is THAT! Thanks so much for the hand made tarp! I can't wait to check it out. And I was going to dig in my garage and harvest MY old tents. I am definitely going to have a use for this tarp. It's going right into my day pack to start with for my emergency shelter. And when summer comes and I'm making some long hauls this may very well replace my tent. Or I may set it up in conjunction with a bivy tent to have a place to si out of the rain. Wow! So many more uses too. Thanks!!!

  • @dmacken11 My pleasure buddy! It's the least I could do! Hope it does good for ya (there's no money back guarantee by the way lol). It should work out pretty well for you, at least for an "always carry" shelter or like you said, an extension of the tent in poor weather. I take mine along sometimes just for that reason... it's nice to have a sheltered area to hang out under instead of being confined to a tent for long periods. Now you're gonna have to get out there and break it in! Hehe...

see all

  • Thanks for the video John ...Your DIY projects have started me thinking about different ways to improvise with just regular stuff I have laying around. Take care bro~

  • I like... I am inspired at your effort to make your own stuff! I am over buying stuff that don't fit my exact needs. i get more joy from making and using my own stuff. thank you for ideas.

  • @wawhiker I heard that.....

    ;-)

  • @intenseangler Yes, yes! You got that model with the low to high range impact adjustment...that's awesome man! You've got to do a video on it with your next build!

  • @wawhiker Been waiting for that! lol. The Bench Top Thread Injector! With low to high range impact adjustment and high RPM capabilities driving the thrusting piston... just stomp on the pedal and feel the power!

  • @dmacken11 So what's that bench-top power tool John has there? Laugh it up funny boy! 

  • Your outstanding contributions to this very fine circle enhances all of us, thank you John! (There maybe one exceptional exception in that circle, but his dog is a good boy - LOL)!

  • Great way of recycling old gear! You're on point about YT! I have met alot of really great people here(urself included) and learned so much! Thanks for your vids and your ideas! Keep'em coming!

  • John that was a really sweet thing to do :) I'll be visiting Dmaken11 here in a bit and checking things out. Hugs, Sara
