Who else is a fan of creeks cascading over green mossy rocks?

Just when we didn't think we'd get much color during sunset last weekend, this happened.

The MYOG/DIY bug has bit me hard again. After making a smaller Dyneema roll-top bag capable of carrying 1 to 2 nights of food with a DIY kit from @ripstopbytheroll, I just sewed this somewhat larger roll-top food bag for backpacking. This time I used some basic ripstop nylon, velcro, grosgrain, parachute buckles, and of course Gutermann thread, all from @joann_stores. Like other bags out there, I made a little loop on one side to hang a carabiner on for bear hangs. It only weighs 1.1 ounces and I estimate the volume to be somewhere between 9 to 10 liters and should comfortably accommodate up to 3 to 4 nights worth of food, maybe more with everything efficiently repackaged. It came out perfectly sized to accommodate the odor barrier bags I like to use as liners too. I may apply some seam sealer to make it waterproof, but otherwise the liners I use should do a good job of that already. I may consider making another with more DCF material from @ripstopbytheroll in the future after getting good practice with this one. In the mean time, I think I'll make good use of this one for now and see how it holds out. #diy #myog

Funny how dandelions can make a lawn so ugly, but make a mountain meadow so, so beautiful.
