Next level light and ingenuity with taping the mesh to the fly. How many nights have you slept in it and how has it held up? I've heard of pinholes developing in the .57 DCF material Zpacks uses. It seems you're using the lighter weight material than that.
Very nice tent ! I am doing my own one (for 2 people) and i have some PSA tape (1,5 cm) but i wonder if i should buy 2,5cm PSA tape. Which on did you use ?
Nicht schlecht! macht bock selbst eins zu bauen :) Würdest das leichteste DCF empfehlen (nehm an 18g/m²), oder doch lieber 26/m² zwecks Reißfestigkeit in Stürmen, wenn man mal länger unterwegs ist? Was hats Material denn ca gekostet?
Mit allem drum und dran so 300€, wobei da auch bisschen Zoll & Versand dabei war. 🙊 18g ist schon ziemlich robust. Das 12g bei meinem ist schon deutlich fragiler und hält trotzdem bisher ziemlich was aus. :)
Thanks mate! I have only 'sold' to friends and family so far, since I sadly don't have much time to sew. :/ It would also be pretty expensive since DCF itself is really expensive in Germany... The video is about my V2. :) You can see V1 in an earlier video or on my Instagram @montmolar. Best regards Martin
Thanks. :) You can find more info and dimensions here: www.reddit.com/r/myog/comments/luoypw/1875g_66_oz_xul_dcf_tent_lightest_ever/ www.reddit.com/r/myog/comments/ldynph/how_light_can_a_full_feature_dcf_tent_get_8oz/?context=3 www.ultraleicht-trekking.com/forum/topic/11570-1875g-66-oz-xul-dcf-zelt-leichter-gehts-nicht-mehr/
Well, that depends. In extreme cold tape will fail. However: DCF can rip or elongate along the stitch holes when sewn! So if you want to make it as reliable as possible: Sew it and then put dcf tape over the seams! :)
Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry, but since its only a hobby for me I don't regularly sell my works. You can only keep in touch with my IG since I occasionally post and sell an item once I make something new.
I use an old school Pfaff 1212. Personally I would look into one with double or triple transport, as it makes sewing elastic materials easier. Old domestic machines are perfect, as they are plenty sturdy and mostly not too expensive.
@@vanCapere thanks very much for mentioning that! After your comment and then seeing pfaff 1200 series mentioned in a Ripstop by the roll podcast by a vintage sewing machine expert that certainly helped pull me out of a rabbit hole. Just found/bought pfaff 1229 in good condition
Thanks gor sharing this. Gonna give it a go next time i'm in the market for a new tent. Question: could fold tape over the edges instead of sewing them?
this is the stage im at.. i added 3.5% for height difference.. not sure my tie outs are in the same place, (needed more magnets) this was from a load of off cuts anyway.. i figure the tape and dcf band would hold the net to any point you require.. am considering a full footprint with a steeper fly..
Hallo Capere, aktuell arbeite ich an einem Nylon Bug Bivy für mein Dyneema Tarp. Dazu wollte ich nach einem Tipp fragen welchen Boden ich benutzten sollte (ohne Tyvek). Braucht man den 75g 10000mm von extex, oder reicht da auch was mit 2000mm Wassersäule? LG Ps. Mega geiles Projekt! Ich bin neidisch auf deinen Lasercutter!
Hey mein lieber, 2000mm wäre mir beim Boden zu wenig. Ich denke so 4000-5000mm sollten es schon sein, damit es da keine Feuchtigkeit durchdrückt. ExTex hat da zumindest auch noch einen mit 65g/m2.
@@vanCapere Danke :) Und würdest du wenn ich kein Tyvek nutzen will, das 65 g/m², oder das glaube 90g/m² empfehlen. Ich hab vor damit in Croatien zu wandern und da kann es scon mal etwas steiniger sein. Oder doch mit 35g/m² und Tyvek? Dyneem kann ich mir im moment leider nicht leisten (Student) LG Leo :)

Servus Capere... Ich bin dieses Jahr auf dem PCT unterwegs. Bin durch deine DIY Tents aufmerksam geworden. Habe ein Jahr in Oelsnitz gelebt und bin noch ab und zu mal in der Gegend. Vielleicht kann man sich mal zusammenfinden für ein Ideenaustausch?! Kann man dich persönlich erreichen? Gruß Udo
Freut mich zu hören! Prinzipiell können wir gern mal schauen, ob sich da was einrichten lässt, wobei ich allerdings berufsbedingt sehr stark eingespannt bin. Für Näheres aber gerne einfach per Instagram an @montmolar. :)
Wow thank you for the video. That looks like my dream shelter! It looked like big process. Great work ! A piece of art !
thanks for the design, guessing/thinking the single pole is best for humidity..
thanks so much for the pattern e the tips , i have finish my tent (but i have used silpoly 20d ) , very nice !

How many nights have you slept in it and how has it held up?
I've heard of pinholes developing in the .57 DCF material Zpacks uses. It seems you're using the lighter weight material than that.
Yes, I actually did use the .34 oz material for the fly and it has held up fine so far!
Been used only for 4 trips though with 6-7 nights in total.
Nice work. Sewing that thin DCF isn’t easy. What model of laser cutter do you have?
I have two:
- Neje Max 2S
- Feungsake 30W
Well done! Looks like an amazing tent. New follower here. Crow✌️
Very nice tent ! I am doing my own one (for 2 people) and i have some PSA tape (1,5 cm) but i wonder if i should buy 2,5cm PSA tape.
Which on did you use ?
IIRC I used 20mm in the video but mostly utilize 25mm nowadays.
Thanks ! I would be Much more confident with 25mm psa tape
Great job, looks great!

@@vanCapere Alles klar, klingt ja nicht zu übel, danke für die Antwort! :)
Tolles Projekt!! Kannst du verraten wo man DCF am günstigsten in Deutschland oder Europa bekommt?
Extremtextil, Shelby Outdoor, Ripstop.pl oder auch Adventurexpert sind meine Quellen. :)
@@vanCapere Danke schön!
Awesome design. How could one go about purchasing one? And how long before V2 comes out?
Thanks mate!
I have only 'sold' to friends and family so far, since I sadly don't have much time to sew. :/
It would also be pretty expensive since DCF itself is really expensive in Germany...
The video is about my V2. :) You can see V1 in an earlier video or on my Instagram @montmolar.

Amazing work. By chance would you share your dimensions/design?
Thanks. :)

How much strenght has the dct tape compared to normal sewing? If I do not care about making it the lightest possible it's better to sew everything?
Well, that depends. In extreme cold tape will fail. However: DCF can rip or elongate along the stitch holes when sewn!
So if you want to make it as reliable as possible: Sew it and then put dcf tape over the seams! :)
Is this based on a zpacks design? Did you look at the Tramplite in UK?
I based it on multiple tent designs. So yes, the pocket tarp did play a huge role in it.
👏👏👏
Great tent and video! Do you have the pattern for sale?
No, but it can be found on Reddit. :)
What is the website of Montmolar packs and DCF tents?
There is only the Instagram @montmolar. ;)
I don't have instagram how much are your products or where can i find info?
Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry, but since its only a hobby for me I don't regularly sell my works. You can only keep in touch with my IG since I occasionally post and sell an item once I make something new.
Whats the sewing machine you used? What are all the bare minimum features for a sewing machine for myog camping gear?
I use an old school Pfaff 1212. Personally I would look into one with double or triple transport, as it makes sewing elastic materials easier.
Old domestic machines are perfect, as they are plenty sturdy and mostly not too expensive.

Should work but you would still need to find a way of attaching the perimeter netting (e.g. sewing it to a DCF strip and then taping it to the edge).
@@vanCapere Gotcha, thanks for the reply 👍
Great video Martin! Where do you buy the DCF?
@@MarkusGebhard Mostly from Ripstop.pl or RipstopByTheRoll. :)

Where do you buy your materials from?
Mostly Extremtextil, Adventurexpert, RipStopByTheRoll, Dutchware, Discovery Fabrics and Shelby Outdoor.
Can someone purchase one of these form you..??

Amazing work! What do you think bro, do you think you could do one for me as well?😀 i would pay you well!
Thanks mate! I normally only do projects for friends, since it's gonna be really expensive and the lead time will also be quite long...
@@vanCapere aah such a shame. Can we be friends? I really love your creativeness you could have a small ultralight shop. I think it would do well😀
Where do I get one of those laser robots? 🦾🖤
Look for the NEJE MAX 2S: amzn.to/3v6hdKV
