    Thanks for the assistance! I had to take a break as was beginning to feel unhealthy about the amount of time was putting into research and then looping over undecided on cost/fabrics… give the brain a rest, waiting to see on November Black Friday sales, saving more and eventually calculate material list as probably take the plunge. Rather think I will for a down sleeping bag as believe can save on cost for that especially with having higher fill amount that like. I feel like taking time allows me to feel less compulsive & more prepared yet balance with time use as the actual making will require concentrated time also so don’t wanna burnout eh less enjoyable. Anywhoo thanks again and happy Halloween 🎃

    Hello Mike, been surfing down the myog trails, learning lots and found your blog... wow totally impressed with your pack versions also the helpful information you provided about gear experiences and trails—thanks for sharing & those hikes on your honeymoon look epic! What fun you’ve been having🙂

    Please I was wondering if could assist me better with your packs pattern dimensions?

    We’re about the same body build as I’m just over 5’7” and gained a bit thou around 155lbs.
    Read thru each of your versions and don’t believe found much on size portions of pattern pieces.
    Gathered that you traced out your own fav shoulder straps and tweaked them.

    Also I really like the back zipper access and that like to try that out so any more details on that construction be appreciated. (If I missed you mentioning more already sorry please can let me know on what V to follow for that- thanks!)
    I really wanted a zipper as looks so make things easier with stuff packed inside, like how the arc haul zip is thou your way seems easier than the curves involved.

    I’ve sewed some clothing like collared shirts, shirts, currently starting a velour tracksuit so figure like to try making a pack. And since I’m getting back into hiking have some gear like to upgrade so overall like to save some cash as adds up and figure should be wise with that until get more miles under my soles lol

    Figure take some ideas from others like:
    Atom’s shoulder strap pockets.
    Youtubers Two fools walking wrap around front pocket, perhaps their construction idea on two pattern pieces the main front/sides then back to bottom.
    Add bottom pocket that seen on few bags
    Perhaps a small front pocket likely with zipper also to keep a few things separate
    And maybe even red paws detachable y strap idea for bear canister or other options

    Got large roll of paper to make the pattern piece on to actually scale of my idea so can then hopefully be able to tell more of how will look when constructed. As rather pack not be overly crowded or too difficult with the ideas like vs how will they function/look
    Can also with dimensions figure out how much dcf, fabric to order.

    Anywhoo lol I’m excited with this process!
    Creating, learning and doing activities with finished projects is so joyful!

    Thanks in advance for reading and hopefully lending me even more advice 🙌🏼🍁🎃
