Some beautiful purple highlights on the #OzarkTrail

The part I didn't realize before was how much I'd enjoy using the Robic because of how pliable it is compared to the rigid X-Pac. It made joining in the bottom panel and back panel so much easier than my previous all X-Pac and Eco-Pac bag.

Thank you!
The answer is yes, yes, yes, and yes. 😆
I only bought 1 yd of the printed X-Pac so I couldn't fit the whole body in that. I wanted some left over for a matching fanny pack. I already had the Robic on hand from buying a couple yards knowing it's good for bag making as well as inexpensive.

We are standing next to a large lake. There are many lily pads near our shore. The far shore and a nearby peninsula on our right are wooded, the trees on the peninsula are very tall. The leaves on the trees are still rather small, allowing a lot of light to pass through the trees. The bright orange setting sun can be seen through the trees of that peninsula as well. The sky and scattered clouds along that horizon are also tinted orange. Most of the sky is a very pale blue with very nebulous clouds that are thin enough to be partially transparent.

Spent another great weekend in the woods! Made it out to a group camp on the Victory section of the #OzarkTrail and had a great time. The new pack held up great stuffed with all my #winter weather gear. Stayed plenty warm with lows around 20F. Happy hiking!

Good morning Bluesky!

One of my favorite places on earth. We are planning a trip to hike it again in a few months. I can’t wait to be stunned by its immense beauty! This photo was taken back in 2019 when I lasted visited.

These patterns and instructions are invaluable for someone starting out in MYOG. I highly recommend them. I'll be making the 15L running vest style pack next, then finishing up my first totally original pack pattern. Happy making!!

Here it it! My latest pack build ended up out of this world! I used the 40L pattern by Prickly Gorse on Etsy and got my materials from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social. I feel like l'm finally getting the hang of the sewing machine and how bag assembly works.

View across green and gold trees and scrub to a lake. On the far side of the lake are mist-shrouded hills, and what looks at first like a river flowing down into the lake. However, the river is frozen in place: a glacier with a flowing texture.
