duffel bag for the guy that gave me the sail

but for bikepacking:
I will use for the bottoms of bivy bags, but with laminated waterproof breathable fabric on top
a few ~1 to 2 L frame packs for christmas gifts
I already have 6oz robic to make a backpack, but would only save about 50 gm to use dyneema instead
182  Forums / DIY / Make Your Own Gear (MYOG) / I used my bike to make a tent on: November 18, 2018, 09:54:18 PM
0.7 oz/yd2 membrane and only three tent pegs and very fast to set up
wondering if I should cat cut the edges?
string/line under the ridge line works as a clothesline and to support the head of my bivy sack

from RSBTR
" Note - Due to ROBIC branding no longer being supported for several yarn deniers, we have recently transitioned several fabrics to our high-end Mountain Series line. "

I noticed that last week too

But 420D is back up today
maybe Robic had a 420 break last week in celebration of legalization

Exactly! I find the mid pack to back of the pack racers much more interesting than the fast fit minimalists.

Beardog (Dave Goldberg) used to say 99% of the red line is good enough (especially through towns)
When I did the AZTR there were off-highway bonus routes between Queen Valley and Apache Junction that were off the red line.  For these you got extra style points and were not relegated for attempting.
For Long Ranger's epic, all the judges across the board were awarding him 10 points each for Artistic Impression.

We dot stalkers could just mellow out and let individual bike pack racers make adjustments to the route to create their own best experience/story (to win the overall race, racers would still have to be 100% for technical merit)
