DESIGNED BY GLEN VAN PESKI
9100

4400 cubic inches and only 12 ounces with the 200 denier coated oxford bottom and  less than 17 oz with 330d

2 choices: 200 denier oxford or 330 denier Cordura.  It’s designed to carry loads of 20-30 pounds. Some features
include deep mesh side pockets, Z-Rest back padding (not included), compression straps convertible to lashing
straps & waist belt buckle. 



NEW AND IMPROVED INSTRUCTIONS MAKE IT EASIER FOR ALL SEWING LEVELS

wpe65.jpg (10699 bytes)

Features
30 denier silnylon 2 person tarp design weighs only 12.65 oz. Front and rear are tapered to minimize
weight but still provide an overhang area. Custom catenary cut along the ridgeline makes the tarp
pitch taunt. Five reinforced tie outs per side for the most flexible set up options. Grommeted front
and rear webbing for tieouts at each peak are different colors to make set up easier. Tarp can be
set up with optional lightweight aircraft aluminum tent poles or with hiking sticks. Tent hooks along
ridgeline offer a place to hang a clothesline or light. Stuff sack instructions provided.
  • Ridgeline length 117" and 101" along bottom edge
  • Front 43" High
    110" Width (55" ea. side)
  • Rear 35" High
    86" Width (43" ea. side)
  • Overhang 10 1/2" at Front, 7 1/2" at Rear
  • Width when staked out = Front 79", Rear = 66"
  • Weight (w/o stakes, stuff sack or seam sealer) = 12.65 oz. (360 grams)

ULTRALIGHT TIPI TARP


This is by far the best lightweight tipi tarp design for strength,
ease of use and reliability

a nixtipitarp design
Features
This 15 foot diameter round tarp makes a 9 foot diameter tipi with 8 stakes and a 6 foot hiking
staff or tent poles.  The tarp without the stakes and pole and made with 1.1 oz silnylon, weighs
only 20.8 ounces.  Floor area ~56 sq ft.
Kit includes all supplies and the most detailed, step by step, easy to follow instructions

Side Note:  The Quest Outfitters team has made one these, it is an amazing design that can take both wind loads and snow loads.  Its versatility in design can be used as a tipi, a tarp, an A-frame
or a lean-to.  With the easy to follow instructions and everything included in the kit, we feel just
about anyone could make this project and you will be glad you did.    

 

Suggested fabrics
:
  1.1 oz Silnylon, coated1.9 oz or 2.2 oz ripstop

wpe55.jpg (6812 bytes) wpe6.jpg (41796 bytes)
   
This ultra-lightweight system helps to eliminate heat loss and keeps your sleeping bag insulation dry adding extra warmth and comfort during cold or damp nights. It also
protects your bag from the elements and exterior wear and tear providing you many extra years of use from your bag. Two bivy sack designs to choose from. [View 2 using
a waterproof breathable top and coated taffeta tub including noseeum, thread, hook & loop, zippers & pattern costs approx. $59 to make].

Design #1: Basic design that minimizes weight and assembly time. Hook and loop closure and rainflaps along the top of the hood opening keeps the elements out. Simply
pulling back the hood accesses optional built-in no-see-um netting.

Design #2: Uniquely designed hood has 2 reversible pull zippers along each side so the hood can be pulled back when it is not needed. Rainflaps and hook and loop hood
closure keeps the elements out. Simply pulling back the hood accesses optional built-in no-see-um netting

Suggested fabrics:  Top and Hood- waterproof/breathable (Stormshield, Gore-Tex,  Weathertek). Bottom Tub- lightweight, waterproof (coated taffeta, ripstop, oxford).
Netting- No-see-um

Depending on fabric selection the completed project weights approximately 16 oz.
Approximate finished size is 88" long x 33" (at head) x 19" (at foot).

Due to each designs size, exact measurements and
instructions for layout are given rather than a pattern.

DESIGNED BY a Quest Outfitters customer WILLIAM GURWELL

Combines the better features of a parka and a poncho. The Parcho provides versatile, comfortable protection for the hiker and backpacker over a wide range of weather conditions.  Size is adjustable to fit both your body and your pack.  High to low ventilation options.  The medium size weighs a mere 7 1/2 oz. and rolls up to the size of a hot dog roll.   Unique cape-like arms cover hands while allowing full use of hands outside and full access inside to shoulder straps, hipbelt, zipper and pockets.  There is even room inside to remove your pack, adjust clothing and put the pack back on.  Large pockets provide dry storage  for extra clothing, maps etc.  Hood volume is adjustable.   Covers to just about the knees or adjusts to your needs.

Backpack version (avg. male hiker sz)= ~ 7.5 oz.
