I am usually a strictly no pink kind of girl, but I will always make an exception for Mendocino :)
First backpack of 2 I am making for traveling to Sewing Summit. I wanted a small purse size backpack for going on the thrifting excursion and shop hop so I found this pattern by Cindy Taylor Oates and only made a few mods.
Looking at this pick, I definitely need to push out the sides some more so it doesn't look so lumpy :P

I got everything together today, then headed out to see what I needed - so I got a Camelbak, hammock, mozzie net and basha - the rest is old kit. I forgot a couple of things though are not in shot though: the Lowe Alpine 15 + 65l rucksack, camera gear, the all important spoon, documents, passport..struggling to think what I have missed out.
What you see, is what I will be living out for 14 weeks through Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam(possibly), Australia and Papua New Guinea(7 weeks). I have put it all in the rucksack and I have plenty of room, which was what I was aiming for. I was in Borneo a couple of years ago I brought so much crap I didn't need, hopefully this is a little bit better.
I'm DEFINITELY going to make more of these! Blogged: socalsewingmom.blogspot.com/2013/01/backpack-backpack.html
I've had these things for some time, but it took me a while to get them all together. I had to get a pair of M1944 suspenders and attach to the pack (that was a process!). Then I attached the M1945 upper pack to the M1945 lower pack (cargo bag). Next I added my father's M1 Bayonet in its scabbard - it is on the side mount and hidden under the blanket to the left. I clipped on one of my M1943 shovels. Then I (finally) got the suspenders through the pack and clipped to the M1923 cartridge belt. For fun I added the M1938 wire cutters. The M1910 canteen is hiding beneath the lower pack, and a M1942 Carlisle bandage is just under the rifle stock. The M1 rifle is one I've had for many years. I chose the 32nd "Red Arrow" division because of its long involvement in the war in the Southwest Pacific. The M1 helmet is a front seam Schluter that has been completely restored.
I put this together so kids could put on a full combat gear set and get a little feel for what it was like.
Shown above is a pre-production prototype of the Ren's backpack. We spent quite a long time in sourcing and deciding the color and texture of the leather. It was red in prototype but in final production the color of leather is orange.
The M2RS VTOL Backpack was originally designed for reconnaissance, but it proved to be more beneficial in the hands of Marines on the ground. It was the first of it's type, and while it featured almost no armor or protection for the pilot, the M2RS proved to be a valuable asset for the Corps- in urban environments it allowed snipers to get into and out of firing positions very quickly. The M2RS transformed the battlefield for the Marines, and brought a new terror to the Separatists that fought against them.

Cumberland Island Wilderness Area (Georgia), Brickhill Bluff Campsite - I would definitely recommend this national seashore and maritime forest backpacking trip, but don't do it in the summer months unless you're hot weather and humidity acclimated (heat index was 125 F this trip).
Excluding a wild horse, we had the Brickhill Bluff camping area to ourselves. There are some nice surprises to reward the 10.5 mile hike north from the Sea Camp ferry dock. There are also plenty of day hiking opportunities from this spot, including a short 2.5 mile run to the Atlantic Ocean side beach.
Over the 13 miles hiking along the beach back to Sea Camp (where most people setup camp), we only encountered 1 researcher and 1 family (assuming they were permanent residents). That's my kind of beach.
Carolyn didn't want to climb to the top of the ziggurat, so she stayed at the bottom and watched our stuff.
Not sure what is with the one single shoe down there.
We actually made it to the burn this year! We didn't sleep through it.

BACKSTORY: Well, that was a crazy burn! So much shit I never expected to do, at WickerMan Burn 2016!
- Damaged Carolyn's car on the way in so that it permanently squeaks, except it got better by the time we left
- Ate a tequila worm (so much more chewing than you would imagine!) when naked-goddess-bartender poured me one, randomly. (I had to check that it wasn't something from the woods)
- Watched fireworks so dangerously close that I needed first aid for a burned eyeball (could this be why the vision in that eye went bad this year?)
- Learned to weave. On a loom. And wove some. Took video of weaving.
- worried about this spleen issue I have that is starting to feel less like a pain, and more like an actual tumor that you can distinctly feel on one side (still hurting as of 2017, CT Scan found nothing)
- controlled huge flamethrowers with laserbeams & buttons
- fun stuff on top of a 20-ft wooden ziggurat art installation (Carolyn was too scared to go up!)
- Watched a firework fireball zoom past Carolyn's head (she didn't even flinch) and catch the ground on fire 1 foot from her feet
- Made out with both members of a couple (beards can be soft?)
- Bounced in a moon bounce
- Saw Carolyn fall off a bounce-house ramp, tumbling in mid air, as onlookers screamed (one massage later, she's fine)
- Played with propane bubbles (cover hand, stick in fire, watch self burn) with zero regard for my safety or even knowing what they were ("other people aren't dying when they do this, so i'll do this, whatever this is. no, i won't ask anybody any questions about it or learn anything safety-related")
- Treated 2nd degree cooking burn with actual aloe leaves someone bundled up, just in case. Only had to walk 20 feet from my camp! No relation to previous bullet point.
- Tried [REDACTED]
- Used logical deduction to guide a damsel in distress to her campsite that she could not find, even though I had never been there. (If you want to flatter me, make me feel like Aragorn. I also accept pints of cherry tomatoes & great conversation)
- Received tons of compliments about my hair & badass cartoon shirt (and about my brain) (but I get that a lot... it's the others I'm not so used to)
- Worried about Andrea in rehab. Did all kinds of crazy things to maintain connectivity to check up on her. A lotta good that did. RIP, Andrea.
- Learned to always great one specific person with "Hi, Clint!" (Her name is not Clint. This is how she prefers greetings.)
- Wore My Little Pony boxer-briefs around strangers
- Sent video from the middle of the woods with a phone that only works when plugged in (tricky)
- Met the creator of games I've played for 15 yrs, & found out that the vintage set of game pieces my aunt found me in a thrift store are so rare that he was re-telling people about our set... Even when we weren't even there. So honored! To tell the man who invented Fluxx that you had the original Fluxx back when that was the only Fluxx you could get was awesome, too.
- But to make a reference to a specific episode of 2 Stupid Dogs to the creator of Fluxx, and have him know it and repeat it back... Wow.
- Chastised by Channy for not knowing how to spell my own name on facebook, becuase she wanted pictoral proof of my story that did not believe -- that the deer shit that came out of the deer when my Bonneville was totalled (while driving back from Dirk's) had splattered onto my car in the shape of Pluto the Dog's face. I totally sent her that picture!
- Lost 1 of 2 cameras, resulting in our pictures being quite incomplete (gee, real Burnery of whoever found it to not bother giving it back. If I find someone else's camera, I guess this means I'll have to keep it to break even?)
- Learned I can consistently inhale an entire nitrous oxide cartridge in one lungful
- Randomly given 2 beers by someone, only to ask to see her face, and, after introductions, us all realizing we already know each other already and are FB friends already (wtf?! what are the odds?!)
Saw a truck covered in fire driving down the mountain like nothing was going on. Overheard: "Are you seeing that? Is that real?"
Phew? Did I get everything? I don't know! One night, I never saw my camp during the night time, at all.

The "Women Backpacking Together" Meetup met at the Caribou Lake Trailhead in the Caribou Wilderness in the middle of the night... around midnight. Lorrie and I were there around 7:30pm so after we put up our tent and built a fire, we warded off the bears by making a lot of noise. Four plus hours! We were up around 9am and out on the trail around 11am. Got to our camp at North Divide Lake around 3:30pm and set in for a cold night. Snow all around but we found a nice meadow to camp in.

This past weekend I was invited on a backpacking trip through Roger's Canyon in the Superstition Wilderness. What an amazing location! It's one of the few areas of the Superstitions I'd yet to explore, and I'm eager to do more.
This shot was from our second night camped in Angel Basin. I was sitting next to the campfire, enjoying the serenity when I noticed the light from the campfire illuminating this dormant tree (Cottonwood, maybe?). I then noticed Orion peeking over the top and decided I needed to capture it somehow. Although my attempt at capturing the scene with only the light from the fire failed, the four headlamps in my crew more than sufficed for adequate light on my next attempt.
This is my second attempt at light painting and I hope the creepy feeling comes through as I intended.
