Backpacking Gear To Make

  • Chameleon Tent: Hammock - Bivy - all purpose tent
  • Bridge hammock (as opposed to gathered-ends hammock) because:
  • I can’t seem how to figure out how to sleep comfortably on the diagonal in a gathered-ends hammock, and my legs stick out when at an angle * I don’t want to buy a underquilt (double-layer bottom makes a sleeve for an air pad!) * I don’t care about weight or needing poles or the increased hanging distance
  • Similar to Eureka Solitaire, with hoop ends and able to pitch on the ground
  • Start with a kit hammock, add no-seeum netting
  • Rain flap like this
  • Lots of these on Amazon these days but they all look cheap and short
  • Daisy chain for easy hanging
  • Fold-up wood burning grill with blower
  • Like this but with the option of attaching a blower
    • stamp or cut myself and add disk vents and CPU fan?
    • Wide enough on top to use a wok
  • Pressure cooker, to use less energy and time to cook light-weight foods like dried veggies and mushrooms, beans and rice, etc
