My oookworks inner for the Trailstar is Chikara. Great stuff, not as slidy as silnylon so a good floor material.
Looks good Alpinum.
When I first got a GoLite Shangri La 3 I asked Sean for an inner and my girlfriend and I used for many trips til the floor started to fail, as well as the yellow ripstop at the bottom, horizontal zip. Also the fly started to show wear at the tie-ins for the guy lines, so we needed a new tent or fix it ourselves. Someday I might fix the torn fabric and give the floor a very good clean and try to re-proof it. But in the meantime, when GoLite went bankrupt, I got another fly for little money and about 1.5 years ago contacted Sean for another inner. I asked for a Chikara floor, but he stopped using it, that'd why we got silnylon - which was in pieces after a trip through a sea of rocks in the Breheimen national park (Norway).
Unfortunately I've never fancied sewing an inner myself - those large fabric panels are a lot of work.
Sean's nests are really well made and whilst I understand his hesitations, it's a shame he doesn't find the will to run Oookworks as some may hope.
Anyways... our Oookwork nests will continue to discover wild places and give us that lovely sheltered place.
More tinkering has been done.
I had the dyno charger setup for my fatbike without knowing about the handy set Supernova provides. So the charger has gotten the same Supernova connection, we've been using on our every day bikes for the connection from the front to the rear light. When charging is needed, we can simply unplug the rear light and plug in the charger, about 100 km for a full charge on 2500 mAh.
All 6 cages in place. 4 thanks to the mount I made for the rear rack.
A well used and worn MYOG framebag I made for my girlfriend needed some reinforcement.
Bikes into the bags for the flight Thursday morning.
Besides a different front bag for the red bike and different tyres, all set with 6 days worth of food and a few luxuries, like a frypan for pancakes, big warm mats and shoes for hiking.
