So, hey, you've got a leg up on so many people. I still have a lot to learn, but I can certainly tell I've learned a lot already. The strap tested out in the field (in Yellowstone) just dandy!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-82678659819899677502014-09-12T11:39:38.109-06:002014-09-12T11:39:38.109-06:00Thanks for the link, Cristy!

This sewing thing is working out to be a real money saver and environmentally-friendly thing for you. <br /><br />I know how to sew, but unfortunately don't do enough of it. I occasionally cut off my son's too-short-but-still-fit-at-the-waist pants and hem them for new shorts for him. And we have a long hot season so this is a good thing, but really I don't use my sewing skills nearly enough. I need to make it more of a priority. <br /><br />I have a Camelbak and we bought one for my son, too. We bought them new. I still feel they were good investments. We hike a lot and use them when hiking in the summer time especially. I am glad you were able to make yours work again. :)Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885394458317264217noreply@blogger.com
