Also being in the Salt Lake area, I haven't found too many on here in the area. Let alone with a WBBB. It would be neat to see these side by side.

can anyone give a total cost of this project and where you ordered your nylon from?
I just made a DL 1.1 with materials from DIY Gear Supply. Total cost was $80 for nylon, bugnet, zipper, webbing, grossgrain, amsteel for whoopies, shock cord, etc (ie, I bought more stuff than I really needed). If you're just looking for a hammock with no suspension (zylon/bugnet/zipper) you should be able to get the supplies for less than $50.
Argggh... I'm really considering doing this but don't have the time since I'm on forced OT due to the storm here... Whats the weight on this thing?
With whoopies and shock cord tie-outs, my 1.1 DL weighs in at 24oz.
Could you help me please. I already have most of the material. I was building one off the black goat plans but thought the foot box panel was a bit incomplete. I really like what you have here, and am very excited to get started. But I am torn between the 9' and 10' models. I am almost 6'1" lol about 215lb which would you suggest?
Thanks
IIRC, this design is supposed to cradle you with the least amount of fabric possible. I went 2 ft over my own height and it fits well. I see there is a 12ft pattern variety... interested if going bigger will offer more comfort ...
This design, with the footbox, means that an 8 footer should offer the "lay flat" roominess of an 11 footer gathered end.
I'm 5'11" , 160# and the 8ft version feels great.
Could you please tell me what the seam allowances are for these plans? I would like to use flat felled seams but need to know if I need to add some for it.
