Please add me to the drawing. I'm always willing to try something new. Lance

I am a concealed handgun carry permittee in North Carolina. The neighboring states all recognize that permit. I usually carry an handgun (some flavor of a .40 S&W or .45 ACP SIG) when out and about for any reason. Lance

I suspect that there only two kinds of paddlers when it comes to this statement. Them that have thought that and them that will think that......

For those interested in twig stoves.... I just bought another G2 5" Deluxe Combo with soldered Trangia burner for my oldest son to go with the Solo Stove Campfire deluxe kit he got last year...... https://www.fireboxstove.com/sale Lance

Glenn, I knew it was an upside down picture but just wanted to tease a bit about the door opener on the "floor". I'd have driven to Morgantown for that canoe myself (600 mile round trip). Nice find. Lance

Aslowhand, does that screen insert have a ceiling or just walls? Thanks Lance

Good grief, Glenn! You for a second there I thought I'd had a few too many beers..... and I haven't had any yet.... Or is that really a door opener on the floor as some new-fangled way for pulling deer and moose hides off? Lance

I may sew a few bits of webbing or loops on just "because" but this first pack will be kept pretty much like the traditional Duluth #4. The exception is the adjustable height shoulder harness as I have it on hand and can buy them for around the cost of the materials to make one. I'm just...

I spotted these pretty much by accident a few months ago. I couldn't resist. And I recently had one sent to another member here as a "Thank you"..... https://awesome-t-shirts-hoodie.creator-spring.com/listing/canoe161022 They ship from the Netherlands so shipping take a week or two. Lance

Having spent much more than my share of time living outdoors in cold conditions I am a huge fan of liquid fueled stoves burning Coleman or similar camping type fuel. They will light regardless of temperature whereas gaseous fuels become harder to light and less efficient as temperatures drop...

I use most of the ideas already discussed although now living in North Carolina things like birch bark, fir, hemlock, spruce etc simply aren't available. But cedar and grape bark, dried pine sap, fatwood etc are. As one ascends each 1000 feet the flora change is roughly equivalent to going 200...

Thanks, Guys Al, I'm looking forward to getting to try the tumpline. If I like it I may add them to some of my other packs. I'm making the tumpline for this pack but given that Duluth sells their tumpline for only $15 I may buy them going forward. Oliver, I did a search for Woods packs and...

I'm in the process of cutting out and preparing to sew a pack very similar to Duluth's #4 Original 72 liter pack. Although I have a fair bit of 9-10 oz leather on hand this first one will get nylon or polyester webbing closure straps and buckles for the flap and tumpline end straps and a modern...

Thanks, Al. Sorry for the late reply. We were camping this week. Lance

They have free shipping at $75 in the contiguos 48 US states. They also have a Canadian site linked at the top of the page..... Lance

I just looked and after you get past the credit card and other offers and get to your main page it's buried 2 pages in on the page wherein you confirm where you want the money to get sent from (bank account, card etc). They've done everything they can to hide it short of deleting it altogether...

Can someone with a Duluth pack please measure the rivet head diameter and flap closing strap width? I suspect the rivet heads will be around either 3/8" (0.375") or a bit under 1/2" (0.475") Thanks Lance

I have several NRS waterproof pack style dry bags but am also just starting to sew a few canvas packs primarily based on the traditional Duluth designs. Past experience has shown that trash compactor bags are relatively inexpensive and make pretty durable pack liners and a spare weighs very...

kbobb, where do you live?

I know this is an older thread but I'm just starting to make packs and I'm always open to ideas and learning from other's experiences. At 60L each how did the size of these work out and, if you did it again, would you stay at 60L or go smaller? And do you have any lessons learned you'd share...
