Dan Durston needs no introduction to most people. For the few that aren't aware of who he is, then this episode will be a treat. Dan is an UL gear nerd, MYOG celebrity, and designer of those packs and tents that just cannot stay in stock.

In this XL-size episode, we sit down with Dan to talk about Dan's background and work experience. Then we get to the good part with fabric application details like DCF vs. Ultra, Silnylon vs Silpoly, and X-Pac vs. ECOPAK.

At the sharp end of the podcast, you can expect to hear all about Dan's products, design, and development process, as well as an inside look at his new Kakwa 40 pack. We even ask Dan what he thinks about hammock camping and apparel.

We ask representatives from Dyneema the questions that DIYers have been asking us. We talk about how bio-based Dyneema is made, why Dyneema is changing ownership, and what's going on with these price increases. 

On the phone with us today are William Smith (Senior Sales Manager) and Keith Rowsey (Director of Sustainability). Both William and Keith have been working in the materials department for a while and bring a wealth of information to the table.

Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "Nothing to fear but fear itself." Too often we get stuck thinking about fears rather than learning. In this episode, we're looking to dispel your fears about making your own gear. Things like wasting materials, misaligned pattern pieces, and getting physically (and/or emotionally) hurt.

Our guest today is Tim from LearnMYOG. Tim is a highly experienced maker who creates patterns of popular pieces of gear and apparel to help makers approach otherwise difficult projects.
