MYOG tent bathtub floor
We changed our shelter system when our baby Lil' Flier was born in anticipation for our PCT LASH with two kids under 5 years old. As part of that shelter system, we rely on a bathtub floor to keep the kids clean, dry and off the ground. I made the bathtub floor myself in my … Continue reading MYOG tent bathtub floor
MYOG toddler carrier
Toothless, the author's child, requires less frequent carrying on hikes over time. They initially relied on bulky soft carriers but sought a lighter, efficient solution.

We tried tucking the arms in and it doesn't stay. Then we tried using painters tape to fold and shorten the arms and his … Continue reading MYOG: Shortening the arms on a Morrison Outdoors sleeping bag
Gear Review: Ray Way MYOG 2 Person Quilt
Currently, we use two Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina 15 sleeping bags. Kyle seems to have an allergy to down, so we are limited to synthetic options. At the time we purchased the bags, they were the lightest option I could find (1.2 kg / 2.6 lbs each) and we were able to purchase one left-hand zip … Continue reading Gear Review: Ray Way MYOG 2 Person Quilt
