Oops, I meant Granite Gear in this context, although I have referred to Gossamer Gear as GG previously when talking about my solo pack. Granite Gear packs are easy to find cheap.
It’s way cooler that you sewed your own pack. That’s a skill I’ve been meaning to pick up forever.

Give it a shot! Packs are intimidating but the material is easier to sew and more forgiving of mistakes than super light stuff like tarps, quilts, etc.
That makes sense. My mom has been offering to teach me, so I definitely should.
I eventually want to make an FKT-style quilt for summer, that’s maybe rated 50* with a 30* footbox. Something light that I could stretch slightly lower by layering clothes.
I’ve been cooking in my 20* quilt this summer.
