MYOG Insulated Winter Pants [188g / 6.63oz]

These are a combination of 3oz climashield insulation, a nylon taffeta from aliexpress, and a little bit of bug netting as mesh.  At 188g or 6.63oz, these are INSANELY WARM for their weight.  My goodness.  These are mostly in camp … Continue reading “MYOG Insulated Winter Pants [188g / 6.63oz]” →

MYOG Midweight Leggings [227g / 8oz]

Same deal as the shirt but less flexible, IMO, because warm leggings don’t fill as much of a use case for a typical backpacker doing longer days / less camp time.   These have been stellar for winter hiking + snowboarding … Continue reading “MYOG Midweight Leggings [227g / 8oz]” →

MYOG Warm Active Shirt Layer [261g / 9.2oz]

This is a 4-way stretch grid mid-weight fleece active layer.  I grabbed this material on discount from Seattle Fabrics.  This is a surprisingly warm and comfortable material with a lot of stretch.  I’ve worn this snowboarding and shoulder season / … Continue reading “MYOG Warm Active Shirt Layer [261g / 9.2oz]” →

MYOG Wind Pants [42g / 1.48oz]

I used really cheap aliexpress tafetta nylon for these and they’re amazing.  This fabric breathes more than hyperD or any other breathable fabric that I have seen.   I use elastic cordage for the foot and waist band and that’s it.  … Continue reading “MYOG Wind Pants [42g / 1.48oz]” →

MYOG Rain Skirt [65g / 2.29oz]

This is a simple rain skirt made from a pair of Frogg Togg rain pants.  Cut them to your desired length, then cut the channel that combines the legs and you’re done.  Max 5 minutes of effort for an extremely … Continue reading “MYOG Rain Skirt [65g / 2.29oz]” →

MYOG Briefs [80g / 2.82oz]

TLDR: don’t make your own underwear! These are 50SPF spandex/elastic blend from Rockywoods with a 1” elastic waistband.   They are too small and thick and not as comfortable as a boring pair of under armour briefs.  This amount of cloth … Continue reading “MYOG Briefs [80g / 2.82oz]” →

MYOG Sleeping Socks [70g / 2.5oz]

Not a big deal to make but seriously amazing.  I made these on a whim thinking they might be nice for colder camping.  So far they have been excellent in that regard, performing wonderfully in true winter snow camping and … Continue reading “MYOG Sleeping Socks [70g / 2.5oz]” →

Born to run barefoot?  How about only 4mm of rubber between you and what you’re walking on!   These are the Xero 4mm DIY huaraches sandal kit in size 12.

MYOG Trekking Poles [138.5g / 4.88oz]

These are $15 Gossamer Gear cork grips, $5 rubber end caps, and then $6 in 1/2” bamboo rods.   I used this sealant / adhesive for $4.50: https://amzn.to/2RgGHTq [this link helps this blog’s monthly hosting fees].  I added Grosgrain ribbon to the … Continue reading “MYOG Trekking Poles [138.5g / 4.88oz]” →

7.5×9 DCF Flat Tarp [166g / 5.85oz]

Made and finally tested a 7.5×9 0.51oz/yard DCF tarp. Final weight is 166g or 5.85oz. I bonded the panels with Loctite U-09FL, used mostly DCF for all the lineloc and guyout points (thanksfor the tip John), and overall I love … Continue reading “7.5×9 DCF Flat Tarp [166g / 5.85oz]” →
