Hello all. I've ordered some membrane silpoly from RBTR to make a lighter tarp for myself. On my current tarp I made the reinforcements double as guyline storage pockets. With the membrane I see you...
Howdy from home! I too am from DFW. I pretty much avoid camping here in the summer heat, if you can get time away my favorite is CO in the summer. In the fall and spring (winter too if you like...
I hung my first night in the new hammock last weekend, it worked out great. I made this one a bit wider than my last mainly for me but also so that I might be able to take my 2 1/2 yr old daughter...
Thanks everybody for the comments, always good to hear feedback!
A bridge was my first project, just spend countless hours watching Grizz's videos.:) You can do it if you take your time and...
Finally finished my new bridge, it's a combination of ideas gathered here with some modifications of my own. Haven't spent a night in it yet but I've tried it in the yard and I can't wait to get it...
Hey chewy,
I guess you can't put pictures in pm's so here's some more pics.
The hammock itself lays pretty flat and is really comfy. I don't feel like it has a lot of shoulder sqeeze, but I...
here's a pic i had on my phone, can send more later.32400
If you're still looking I just made a new one for myself and am selling my old Grizz inspired bridge w/ underquilt, probably be posting it in the for sale forum tomorrow w/ pics.
I am currently using a bridge made based on Grizz's videos and have also made a primaloft underquilt for it. I decided to taper the width at the foot end of my current hammock which made the...
I also used Primaloft for my quilts and was hoping to find a better solution than the quilting loops. I thought about doing the same thing you are talking about (overlapping the pl on the two...
I really wish I hadn't talked myself out of putting the side channels on the under quilt. I have been looking at mine to figure out how to make the sides fit a bit better. The primaloft really wasn't...
Hey Ed, just posted alot of pics in the diy section. I used the uq this weekend down to about 50 degrees and it kept me very warm (slept in only boxers), so I think the combo should be good down do...

I've been sewing like crazy since completing my bridge based on Grizz's videos. I've completed my whole hammock setup over the past month and now that I've tested it I don't think I'll ever sleep in...
That's cool, it sounds like you and I have pretty much the same setup. I've got a bridge modeled after Grizz's videos and my quilts are using the exact same 3oz/4oz combination. I'll post pics when...
Hey Ed, I was just curious how your under quilt was coming along. I just started cutting my fabric tonight(finally). I've decided to do a differential cut with the layers of insulation being...
I'm also fixing to start a underquilt and I also use a bridge hammock, are you going to use darts in your shells or just do the differential cut, I'm trying to figure out how I want to do it.
I just made my first quilt, I started with a top quilt to get some experience knowing the underquilt would be a little trickier. I also used primaloft sport. I used embroidery floss for the...
If I were to stitch the primaloft directly to the shell lengthwise it would compress the insulation where it was stitched. If I were to stitch a lenth of 1" insulation in with this stitch, would...
ol'daddy,
i'm jealous, we took a trip in early july to colorado and coming back was no fun. my hammock was in the works but not completed for the trip, i hope to get out for several trips in the...
I'm going to start making my UQ/TQ soon and I think I'm going to go with 2 layers of Primaloft. I was wondering if anyone who has experience with Primaloft can give me any pointers on assembly. ...
Hello all. I've been checking out this forum a while so I'm not exactly new. I just started backpacking this past year with some friends and love it! I've always enjoyed camping i had just never...
