Also I show how to thread the linelocs. I change the pitch, but of course you could pitch from scratch with the door forming the corner and two rear corners pegged to the ground. http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/ for the Trailstar. Pegs sold here too. Also Superlight Bivy and Bug bivy. I bought mine from Ron, the owner, and delivery takes many many weeks, a couple of months is not unheard of! So be patient... http://oookworks.com/ contack Sean for inners and groundsheets in the UK customised for you.

I used the project guide from http://thru-hiker.com, the one for making your own stuff sack. I was very pleased for my first attempt. I have now ordered and am waiting for the supplies to make a solo tarp! I will film as much of that as I can.

Silnylon, a portmanteau of "silicone" and "nylon", is a synthetic fabric used mainly in lightweight outdoor gear. It is made by impregnating a thin woven nylon fabric with liquid silicone from both sides. This makes it strong for its weight, as the silicone substantially improves the tear strength. It is also highly waterproof, but not breathable. Many colours are available.
It is used in the manufacture of backpacks, tarps and tarp tents, ditty bags, etc, particularly by ultralight backpackers.
Silnylon comes in several main types. The common type is a quiet, silky, very slippery fabric. The variant known as "crisp silnylon" is lighter, but brittle, noisy, and tears easily. Some versions are made from the stronger type 66 nylon and are used for parachutes, hot air balloons etc. Some use a blend of silicone and urethane which is done partly to reduce the air pollution during manufacture as it reduces the aromatic solvents used in the coating process.
