My mother in law is currently sewing some for me out of 70d taslan and 1.6 ripstop/1.9 ripstop. Purchased from here: https://diygearsupply.com/ Will see how they work out.
Were you able to get in white? Not sure it matters although in theory white is less heat absorbent and should keep meat cooler.
No white - orange, gray, and camo are the colors I ended up with.
Keep us posted on how they work out for you. I enjoy sewing projects. This could be an easy one to make.
Recieved this week and i put in paracord drawstrings, seem solid and should work well. Used a few different dimensions for variety from viam, caribou, kifaru, & tag. Hopefully they get a real stress test next week, they performed well with 30# and 70# kids.
Nice! So I was thinking a bit about this project last night. I think it was on stone glacier's site that I saw they do not tape the seams of their water resistant bags/game bags that is is used for exterior loads (stuff on the load shelf). It is so blood can seep through if used for game. Would it make sense to have a bag that is dual purpose (game or keeping things dry), taping the seams but having tiny openings in the lower corner of the bags so liquid can drain? It would make the bag effectively water proof, but still be able to drain.
I thought about that, but went with uncoated fabrics. I'm guessing I can get a little evaporative cooling that way. You can buy small grommets and a kit for installing them. Seattle Fabrics website has them down to 3/16".
Yes. I’ve been using them for a few years and have three sets now. They aren’t big enough for elk though.
Since this thread popped back up, the homemade ones held up well and cleaned up nicely.
