Many Thanks! It kind of tight to get in and out, maybe a half circle would have been better

@Jbmongold2 ай бұрын
YES! Go for it. I would suggest using some kind of tissue paper for the bug net. There's a lot of support for this. I didn't and probably just got lucky, but there can be some issues from that. Also make the tub a bit deeper. This should help if you get into some heavy rain. Thanks!

No ground cloth required. The tub is 2.2 oz HEX70 which I think should hold up fine. Thanks for the notes too, debated a narration but figured it was simple enough to do without.

Thank you!!! I have made a tarp and it's fairly simple. You should make a tub for your net and sew it all together!

I think if you put the zipper at an angle it would be easy to get in and out.

Yeah for sure it's kinda tricky to get in and out. That was the last step and, admittedly, I was ready to be done with it.

Are the seams on the bottom water proof? Also what material is the bottom made of?
@valtteri40502 жыл бұрын
Also how did you make those folds and corners of the bottom?
@Jbmongold2 жыл бұрын
You need to seam seal all of the seams to make it waterproof. The tub is 2.2oz hex70. To make the boxed corners, you remove a square then stitch the edges together. Hope that helps 👍🏻

@Jbmongold3 жыл бұрын
I really just sketched out a triangular prism and figured out how long I needed it (which was 7ft based on me being 6ft) I wanted it to be as tight inside as possible for weight and the ability to deploy in a small space.
@GryphonIndustrial3 жыл бұрын
I'm about to do a similar project. Was there anything special you had to do to sew the zipper onto the insect mesh or was it just plug-n-play?
@Jbmongold3 жыл бұрын
It's probably a good idea to use tissue underneath thinner ripstop and insect mesh. However, I seem to have gotten away without using it ever. Maybe do a few tests without tissue paper backing.

Thanks for the reply! It took two weekends. Partly because I ordered the wrong pull for the zipper and wasn't sure how it all worked. It was my first shelter and first time sewing a zipper so I wanted to lay it all out first.

🤔yep
@Jbmongold3 жыл бұрын
The ridgeline is 4mm paracord. For the prusik knots, used to attach and tighten the bivy onto the ridgeline, I used 1.8mm utility cord. Prusik knots work best when a smaller diameter cord bites onto a larger one.

Listen you obviously are very skilled. But all this video did was to convince me that I should never make what I can buy. The time and skill it took you costed 20 times more than just buying it.
@Jbmongold3 жыл бұрын
You can look at several factors to determine whether or not you should make it or buy it. In this case the tub material, bug net mesh, and zipper assembly cost $37.53 (including $7.95 shipping). You might have a hard time finding a bug net with a tub for cheaper. For me there is a satisfaction in making and using your own equipment that is hard to put a price on.
