There is currently one bidder who has promised payment by tomorrow.  There are others in line afterward as well.  I will post here when the items are sold.

Addy, I don't know if he sells fabric bits but you might consider contacting Ron at Mountain Laurel Designs as he sources eVent by the roll and may consider selling a quantity to you.  http://mountainlaureldesigns.com

If you want your bivy sack to be truly waterproof you will need to purchase one that is comprised of either Goretex or eVent fabric.  These materials are relatively heavy per sq. meter of fabric so the overall weight of a waterproof/breathable bivy will often be as heavy, or heavier than the weight of an ultralight tarp.

For instance, compare these two options:

Integral Designs South Col Bivy which has a mfg listed weight of 22 oz and MSRP of $260.00.

Gossamer Gear Spinn Twinn spinnaker tarp which has a mfg listed weight of 8.6 oz and MSRP of $175.00.

The volume of space needed for these two options is very similar, both offer full protection from rain yet the tarp system will be extremely more breathable and protect you from the constant threat of wetting out from condensation inside your bivy sack.  The downside to tarp use is it lacks wind protection.  To counter that a non waterproof bivy sack can be added to your gear list with a weight penalty of around 7 or 8 ounces, another $150 and a half liter of volume.

Great looking work.  Why the use of grosgrain around the entirety of the edge though?  Have you considered simply putting a seam around it instead?  It's lighter and completely and totally strong enough.

First, there is absolutely nothing wrong with drinking untreated water if you do so in an educated manner.  Secondly, I think this film is exceptionally done.  It is hard to tell whether it was just Matt out there doing all the video'ing himself or if there was a film crew also along for the ride. 

I would like to know just what he was carrying for gear though because that pack he was wearing definitely didn't have a sleeping bag in it.  There was however room in it for all the stuff he used on film.  That must've been one cold night if he was sleeping in nothing but that shell next to a campfire.
