More Homemade gear

Here's another picture of some home made gear:



This is a Ray-Way tarp and net-tent. This really was the project that started it all for me. I had a great time putting it together. Admittedly, there was frustration along the way, but I think it turned out very well. My last trip on the Superior Hiking Trail was the inaugural journey for my tarp. This picture was taken at the Indian Creek multi-group campsite. After walking 12 miles and arriving at our camp, it began to rain. I got a lot of satisfaction out of sitting under my tarp and watching the rain come down around me knowing that my shelter was something that I had crafted with my own two hands (OK, and a sewing machine too).
