Colin Ibbotson has just produced a corker of an article on how to produce your own protective kit bags β ultra lightweight of course.
You will need your own sewing machine (or access to someone else’s β and maybe an operator to go with them).
See the Colin Ibbotson Pages for the PDF link.
Thanks Colin. Colin is promising lots of more content for the new year. Cant wait.

Brilliant, of course, now I’ve got to try and work out how the sewing machine works, I’m sure we’ve got one somewhere!

Steady – this is a slippery slope! Yuu’ll be making tarps and all kinds of things next!

LOL! The thought had crossed my mind, I was thinking of a water resistant sleeping bag cover actually, though I suppose a Tarp would go quite nicely with that!

There you go, you’re on your way

Making tarps? Now that’s an idea! Would be perfect for the summer tarping weekend. Leave it with me…
