Hello from Bournemouth (Dorset)

[jtrent90]

Hi there, I've been lurking this forum for a while, decided to become a member.

I'm 22 years old, been into outdoor stuff forever. Avid road cyclist and self employed bag-maker within the outdoor sector.

Every great past time needs a great forum, and the bushcraft community is clearly well served, thanks!

Jordan

Hi Jordan, Welcome and enjoy.

Thanks chaps, I'll most likely get a trader/maker account on here, upon which time I can show you what sort of thing my workshop is kitted out to produce!

I make bags for the cycling community and other outdoor people,

It's modern military style stuff (1000d Nylon/Cordura), inspired by old school hiking kit.

I'm continuing to expand into more bush/outdoorsey stuff - especially as the durability of the kit is a huge bonus within this hobby. It's quite the opposite of ultralite stuff that has a short lifespan.

I won't post my website just yet - as I don't want to break any rules prior to getting the right account, you know!

A bar tacker? No, it's next on the list. I have a straight stitch and a cylinder arm (dedicated binder)

Bar tackers are fantastic, they make doing molle and other webbing assemblies much easier, but you can get just as strong a stitch using the bartack function on a straight stitch (just straight stitch back and forth several times)

Lots of people on here in Dorset? in Bournemouth we're just about in Dorset.. though I'm told it's not long since we were in Hampshire.

Good to have you, I grew up in Bournemouth and it was def Dorset then so it's been long enough
