It's here!

H:
I stepped outside my door today to find a large box on my doorstep.  The box is THE box, as in the box full of our recent order of from the Ray-Way website.  I picked it up and tossed it into the RV where a cat decided to promptly play King of the Mountain:

 I know that we ordered light weight gear but it was a bit of a laugh lifting that big of a box and barely feeling any weight.  When opening the box I found the filling for our sleeping bag we will sew.  This took up 90% of the box.


 The remaining 10% is everything else to pack it all in...

What was inside this box?  Well, I'll tell you...
Backpack kits.
Zippers for pockets on the backpack, not necessary but a nice addition.

Tarp Kit
A door for one end of the tarp, known as a BatWing.  This will be a nice addition to the tarp.  A few times on our bicycle trip we pitched our tarp 3 sides low due to various weather conditions.

Net-Tent Kit
Another wonderful addition to the tarp set up!  No mosquitoes when we sleep.  Yay!
The Quilt Kit external parts that will get wrapped around that big bag of lovely warm stuffing. 
Knife Kit
Leather Sheath for the Knife made from the kit above.
Net tent stuff sack.
Tarp stuff sack.
Wonderful thread!  I ordered some of this when making the last tarp and the spool lasted for many projects after.  It was a great addition to my sewing kit.
Seam sealer for the tarp and such to keep out rain from the stitching.
More books!  Top Left: The Tarp Book.  Top Right:  Trail Life
Bottom: Siku Kayak, a story of how a couple kayaked along Alaska... who knows, maybe our next adventure!
