In this episode, we talk with William Smith and Keith McDaniels from DSM. Recently, they informed us that they would be releasing a new fiber that would be used for fabrics woven with Dyneema®. And better yet... would also be available to the MYOG market. We brought Keith and William on to discuss the pro's and con's that makers have seen with Dyneema® over the years as well as the changes they are making to Dyneema® fibers.

We talk about: 

• Dyneema® Diamond Technology 
• Bio-based Dyneema®
• Why Dyneema® is NOT a generic UHMWPE
• What other UHMWPE fabrics lack

🎁 Enter to Win our One Year Anniversary Giveaway!

In case you haven’t heard, this is our One Year Anniversary episode of ROTR. This is probably one of the most anticipated episodes we have ever had. It’s also a little unorthodox and a lot ridiculous. Less polished, less edited, and less professional than normal. ROTR was founded around a table, on a porch at a bottle shop in Durham, NC. We’re bringing back the roots of the podcast by treating this conversation like it started. As a group of friends sitting, drinking, and enjoying one another’s company. We have put together an episode with our friend Matt Evans from Red Paw packs.  Another way to put it is… We recorded our party as the episode!

On most episodes, we choose one very succinct topic to cover. In this episode, there are three topics with a lot of tangents in between.  So, fair warning, this is a two-hour episode… 

• Part 1: We’ll talk about our favorite episodes, moments, and events from a year of podcasting. 
• Part 2: We’ll talk about the state of the DIY nation. Products, technology, and more. 
• Part 3: The main event where the guys take about their sew-off. 

If you’d like to engage with this episode in a different way, check out our YouTube Channel for videos of this episode. 

Finally, thank you… The DIY community has been remarkable since the beginning. Thank you for allowing us to serve you and for allowing us to continue this work.

Today we’re talking with Butch Whiting, co-founder of Kryptek Outdoor Group. This episode helped me understand a lot more about the science and technology behind camo. And for those of you that already understand camo, I think you’ll enjoy it just as much if not more. Talking to Butch was funny and inspiring;  he told great stories, and he spoke passionately about the work that Kryptek does 

We’re hoping this podcast teases your stoke a little bit more as we prepare to release Kryptek on our site starting in just 4 days! This Monday, Aug 23, 2021 we’ll have things like 1.1 oz Ripstop Poly Cal. 1.1 oz Silpoly. Narrow goods like webbing. As well as Print-On-Demand options for some of your favorite Kryptek patterns.
