Rockoboy Posted September 7, 2019 Report Posted September 7, 2019 WOW! That thing is a beast!! It would kill a bloke if it fell out of a tree. A few different ideas I have not seen before, and I like them all. The paracord, the 2&1/2" strips, the lines pattern, the orientation of the internal pockets ... its all good.

You have a wonderful name, and you spell it correctly also. The ""Y" is for sissies. LOL the cord is gutted to reduce bulkyness [[SP} HEY. I have no IDEA what i am doing so i am not in a box, and I can not find the box. I just do what my strange brain says to do Brian Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
Rockoboy Posted September 7, 2019 Report Posted September 7, 2019 All your work that I have seen so far, is excellent, so don't sell yourself short. You have a definite style that stretches boundaries. Well done.
