Hey guys!
We are DropTop (AT '17) and Bearbait (AT '17), and we're so excited to share our adventures with you! We love bushwhacking while following blazes, exploring curated or wild trails, and getting ready for our next hikes.
Right now, we are section hiking the North Country Trail (NCT) which runs through seven states from New York to North Dakota, over approximately 4600 miles. This trail is less than 75% complete, so we help clear while we hike and follow our feet wherever they take us.
We will be thru hiking the PCT in Spring '19, and there is so much to be done before then. Join us while we test gear, condition our muscles, and enjoy the nature which surrounds us. We will be documenting it all along the way on our weekly hikes and videos!
Please like and subscribe to follow our journey ☀️

Ultralight DIY Dyneema Zipper Pouch | Ripstop By The Roll Kit
DropTop and Bearbait here to create some more gear with you!
Today we are sewing an ultralight zipper pouch (I’m talkin’ super ultralight at .5 oz) made from a fantastic material called Dyneema. Dyneema, previously known as cuben fiber, is an extremely useful niche material that is ultralight, puncture resistant, and waterproof. It does have some drawbacks, though, and one of them is that it’s very expensive and not readily available. So why not take matters into your own hands and make your own personalized gear for a fraction of the cost and wait time? Let’s make one together! RIGHT NOW!
The kit we used is from Ripstop By The Roll, a super maker-friendly company. We are not affiliated w...

How To Make Your Own Ultralight Dry Bag
Просмотров 16 тыс.6 лет назад
DropTop and Beartbait here to talk to you about dry bags! These things are incredible. They keep gear organized in an easy to find area, are ready to grab on the go, and most importantly, help keep gear DRY. We all know if it’s the kind of storm that’s going to get everything wet, everything WILL get wet, but different methods of “waterproofing” help prolong the inevitable soak. These bags are ...
3 Ways To Hang A Bear Bag
Просмотров 9296 лет назад
DropTop and Bearbait here! We've had some questions about different ways we hang our bear/rodent bags, so we made a video of our most used methods while backpacking: ☻Basic LNT (Leave No Trace) Method ☻PCT Method ☻Counterbalance Method Photo Credit: John Gookin and Tom Reed, NOLS Bear Essentials: Hiking and Camping in Bear Country
Too bad you did not upload more videos. Nice project. Recently bought a sowing machine to make a light weight custom tarp but I need to practice with smaller (cheaper) projects first. I will try this one. Thanks
I think it would be easier and quicker just to take an extra hour at work lol.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
"Were going to go very slowly because we don't want to scare the dyneema" omg im dying. Great video!!
interesting design, i'm used to the typical folder over style with a buckle. might have to try this out. how have they held up for you?
This is way better than rsbtr's own video.
Clear and concise and enjoyable. I won;t be making those bags anytime soon though. Just not into sewing, but Thank you.
How much would you charge for that bag(labor and materials) if ever you want it as a business? What size is that?
How do you only have three videos? You are a natural!
People buying olive green DCF, usually want the olive green side to be on the outside, as it helps when wild camping, where stealth is often required...So you have basically ruined the bag!
*stuff sack
This is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Why do you pin parallel?
HELLO RACHIE I LOVE HOW YOU SEW AND YOUR SO PATIENT I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO MAKE A FEW PIECES FOR ME IF YOUR NOT BUSY. I LOVE LONG FLOOR LENGTH MAXI DRESSES LONG SLEEVES I HAVE SOME PICTURES OF SOME DRESSES I WOULD LIKE MADE ....
What happens if you scare the Dyneema? Never thought of that.
this needs more views!
is there a particular thread that is recommended to sew with for dyneema? or would basic polyester be fine
People use DCF (Dyneema Composite Fabric) because of it's lightness...Polyester is much heavier that DCF, and consequently it's much cheaper than DCF...Another popular fabric for bag making ultralight bags and pouches is rip-stop Nylon...It's half the weight of Polyester fabric and while not quite as light as DCF, it's gets much closer to it than Polyester and it's also relatively cheap. Nylon is Hydroscopic though (it absorbs water) so to waterproof it needs to be coated with a special silicon sealer spray, which then forms another fabric known as Sil-Nylon...
Nice tutorial. It’s a great supplement to the total lack of instructions provide by RBR with the kit. I was surprised that the kit did not include any single sided PST to waterproof the stitching. Without that, messy liquid seam sealer must be applied or this will not be waterproof. I bough two kits to put on my fishing boat for guests to drop their phone/wallet into. The loop are great cause with a light carabiner in them the bags can be secured. Thanks for taking the time to post this tutorial. Much appreciated.
Best not to pin a water resistant bag like this or you have to seal each of those pins holes at the end.. also DCF is usually matte side out ;-)
What thread are you using on a project like this?
Not a Dry Bag. The collar spun like a loaf of bread will not keep water out. A roll- top WILL make it a dry bag and even lighter. Do your homework.
Just tested a bread bag, it's waterproof when twisted....
This, plus Silnylon is hardly waterproof anyway.
cool!
You rock i have ton to learn .Awsome mad skills.
Great video. Excellent design, and lighter weight than the standard fold-ever-and-clip dry bag. I just made a dyneema drybag and I think I've proved that your method is more idiot-proof. Thanks! re: the sealant. For some reason I couldn't find mineral spirits, so I used paint thinner. Did this over two years ago, Worked great heavy use no problems.. I also prefer to buy the smaller 'toothpaste' sized GE 100% silicone tubes. I can't imagine ever using a full caulking gun tube of the stuff on my DIY projects, and I've found the smaller tubes a bit better in the long run not drying out. (One tip on all this stuff is to store them cap/lid down. And when you think it's dried up, just hand twist a drill bit through the plug.) What I've also learned about sealing, Just do a good job but don't worry too much. When it's dry, check it. Drybag: blow it up and listen or feel for leaks, tent/rain fly hold it up to the light. Then go over the areas that leak or you think might leak. I've found this to be very reliable, less messy and uses less material. Also on my ultralight rainflies I don't seal the bottom edges. My rationale is that being at the bottom any leaking doesn't matter. The only issue is it might retain some dampness, threads, tiny crevices, when I roll it up. Also on line patches don't seal anything underneath, if only stitches are on the top surface, then only seal those stitches. I've seen a lot of videos where the maker seems intent on sealing webbing that'll never touch rain.
You prolly already heard hun but all those bags are sewn inside out 🙃. Matte side of the composite is traditionally on the outside. Regardless, thanks for the tutorial!
She addressed this at the beginning of the video, mentioning that for smaller projects they like to make them shiny side out as they look better.
Great guide. Your tips will be invaluable when I start my own bags.
How would one add belt loops so it can go on a backpack hip belt???
You could just add them to one side of the fabric after you sew the zipper in. You would need to measure for your top fold over first how far from the top the zipper is) and stitch it on at that position. For the loops, use Grosgrain ribbon just like she used for the pull tabs.
Love the music. Watching gear making was never so relaxing.
Nicely done. I was perplexed when you used a bobbie pin. I love sewing clips. www.amazon.com/BIGTEDDY-Multipurpose-Quilting-Binding-Assorted/dp/B07JL9R25V Kyle gets all my business. www.RipstopbytheRoll.com
I like your idea of a collar that tucks in.
Very thankful for this guide! Thank you for the tips and thorough instructions!
Thank you so much for watching!
I'm lost already. Lol But what a sweetheart. Calming voice. Love hiking women. Wish I had the patience to make my own gear.
Thank you so much, Marc! Give it a shot... You may love it :)
Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Hey Rachie! You got some mad sewing skills!!! 👊 Great job!!!
Thank you!
Very cool Channel I also have a channel if you had a minute could you check it out tell me what you think perhaps even subscribe and I can do the same for you thank you
Nice job! Do you save any $ making things yourself? If so how much? Or is it just for fun?
Depending on the project, it can save $20-$30 per bag! You can also create something that fits your needs perfectly versus a mass produced product you have to make work. It is also a lot of fun!
You save couple of dollars on kits, which is good for learning, but if buy material and supplies in bulk you do save substantially. Plus if you don't have any sewing equipment that also can be costly. I was given a sewing machine and a cutting pad. I bought miscellaneous items it still cost me $100 give or take $25. After while it will pay for it self.
Such talent! You can also use this information for making pouches that all purpose. Go, girl, go.
So proud of you for knowing how use a sewing machine. Gaya would be delighted! I can hear her delight.
I'm delighted for her to be a part of my hiking passion.
Good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to show us!
Thank you for watching! 😊
you are both becoming very comfortable in front of the camera. very relaxing to watch!
Thank you so much. It's a continual work in progress... Cameras are scary! :)
how far away from camp should you hang your food?
It's best practice to have a kitchen area (a place to cook, eat, and hang your bear bag) about 100 feet away from camp.
You guys are the absolute cutest ever!
KELLY! Thank you ♥
"LNT" ??? (What you did with the toggle afterward... i.e. chuck it back in the woods… so what's "LNT" stand for?)
LNT - Leave No Trace. The stick goes back where it came from- take only pictures, leave only footprints!
do you hang your food over your campsite if not how far away.
