You got to post pics of it. I'm curious to see how the ends and the asym shape came out.

Seriously, can these HH clones sit as well as a Speer? I often like to sit in my hammock. It seems the ridgeline would interfere while sitting.
That's why these clones have a removeable ridgeline, so you can remove it if it becomes uncomfortable.
So are you guys using load bearing biners for the ridgeline or or what? I should be getting my fabric in today. I just might try this HH clone deal
I am using cheapo Coleman mini biners that I got from WalMart at the moment. There has been some concern on whether they are strong enough, but they are working fine so far. As I said before I will be replacing them when I find a stronger light weight alternative.
There is a pic of me lounging in the hammock. It sits great by just unattaching the side tie out, much like a HH, and if the ridge line bothers me I can undo it also. Because the side of this hammock are looser than a Speer type I think it sits better than my Speers.
Do you think the netting could be attached using Velcro instead of a zipper? I wonder if the weight savings would even be worth the effort of attaching the bug netting every time you get in. I could have a zipper on just one side. This way I can roll it to one side. Hmmmm.
I wonder if the velcro would make a good enough seal. Any force on the netting could pull it loose letting the crawlys in.
That is what I was asking in fact. I would have already done it if I was confident it would work.
