Spoiler: 1' conduit light and not hard to move. Full turtle dog style minimal weight.

Instead of the conduit couplers, which were used for testing the original turtledog stand using different materials, I would make a dowel that is about 2.5-3.5 inches or about 85mm make the midpoint....

Definitely two different companies. One list a physical address, the other nothing. One list an Email and phone number, the other nothing. With the S is most likely manufacturer/original. Without...

Turtledog, Turtlelady, And many others not as popular or catchy named... General idea is need weight bearing for holding you off floor and a structural load bearing to be between the two vertical...

Can you add a fixed loop and "s" hooks to the bed frame. Then when in use in side just slip the continuous loop over the s hook and either un-hitch the whoopies or roll up and wire tie out of way. ...

Synthetic loose fill insulation. Some folks love it for water concerns. It weighs a little more though and doesn't compress as much.

I think after reading that the second trip report would be:
1. pick trees
2. string dog run between trees and connect dog
3. start setting up camp.

Look around here and you will find many folks have found ways to solve the camporee issue. Portable hammock stands! When I say they are not backpacking I am thinking 7-20 miles. At 10 they should...

Cheap non slippery guy lines, Mason line at walmart or etc. Cheap as you can get ~$2 100ft and durable enough since it is for outdoor use. Used it a lot fishing, trot lines and drop lines.

I would mix your silicone to mineral spirits a little heavy on the mineral spirits and then dip the tarps. Make sure press, turn, press, pull out and restuff, and press some more. Should get some...

Those do not break clean. They make a mess when they break. On the bright side I have seen one bent almost to 90 degrees before it started to pop. The flex of these is very different from a tent...

Yeah I haven't had the pleasure to see a CF tarp yet. Hope to soon.

I think he meant a good clear tarp. Say clear CF.

Looks good!

If you have camping gear rethink some of it.. I bet you have a tarp. Does your tent have a ground cloth under it when you set it up? That is a tarp in a different usage. Does your tent have a...

Haven't signed up yet but am trying to get this planned into the family calendar for at least me.

A solution I found for the private changing area in cub scouts were we did family camping, some tents too small for parents to change in and two adults and kids hammock camping was a "shower"...

The reason a spanning board is recommended isn't to change it from a single point of failure but to move that point of failure from the wall studs to the "sacrificial" spanner board.

Doesn't the tomato ones also sharpen the pins as you push them into it? Thought that was why is sounds like you are shoving a pin through grit rather than stuffing. Also though the little hanging...

I am formally of Oklahoma, did they give you a town name? That would help a lot.

Thanks for the replies.

Ramblinrev, I understand buying it is a lot better for quality control. I have more time to work on getting quality than money to buy quality.

More on my idea for...

These may have already been covered, but I have been unable to locate any info.

1. If you are recovering down and do not have the FP listed how do you determine it for reuse? Is there a...

French felled seam, When making the 2nd seam pass the trip for me was to first carefully roll up one half of the tarp material and clamp it with binder clamps to keep it in place then it would pass...

Mini Turtle dog stand for the table top stand would work well.

EMT stands for Electrical metallic tubing. Might also be referred to as thin wall conduit.

That would have to have been A LOT of rain. Almost looks like an abandoned tent or photo planned.

Dollar store bound> Thanks for that info Lost Biker. The loofa just seems like a smart way if I can get it to work for me.

Yes recently tried the walmart loofah for $1 and it didn't even make it over the hammock one time before it was shredded..

Ah! Hammer is your friend since it is already a flat part :)

If you really look into the desertdomes.com information they tell you that the flat ends should have a small bend angle in them. for a 10' height I think it is like 18deg. If you didn't originally...

Umm t doesn't need to be a wild guess. He has 1m to fall and the rate of his fall is controlled by gravity, assuming nothing to impede the fall. So he will hit the ground in:

Rub it with a dryer sheet. That should discharge it. Might make sure and use liquid fabric softener when you wash it so it gets soaked with it.

National Forest is $500 per square foot of underbrush or per tree you damage, and $1000 per tree you "Destroy". Cutting more than a certain number of limbs, dead or alive, is considered destroying. ...

Filler for 10 character minimum

Nicely laid out. Thank You!

Make a larks head around the fabric right were the gathered ball is. Using the continuous loop. This way you have a loop of amsteel sticking out to hook around the end of the center pole on the...

Mike your question is fine. gmcttr is trying to help Floridahanger understand.

Think about Physics class if you ever took it, and the vectors of force being applied.. they are both compression...

Looks like the fabric got a tear and the stress from being stretched ripped it across. Possible that you had something sharp on you or in a pocket?

About a 1/4" long cuts along the curve spread as needed to get the curve to lay out flat enough to not pull out when sewing. If you look through the DIY tarp threads there is a couple of times it is...

Cut small slits on the edge of the curves. Allows fabric to "fold" without the wrinkles. Cuts then get rolled into hem.

Tarp would be a priority.

I like! Thank you. This will help me very much!
