So my buddy was doing an addition to his house and I grabbed a bunch if extra. Running out now so I'm on the hunt.
Are you saying u want to attach the tarp to the prussic knots without hardware? You can take a piece of cordage 8" or so and do th prussic with ends together and the when the knot is made the ends...
The curved ends keep the sides tight and prevent extra material from flopping over. I previously had an ENO double and always felt I was swimming in a bunch of fabric
Here is a rough sketch of the pattern. I slightly curved the top also.
Amateur gear head maybe.... Working on veteran status. Until now my gear making tendencies have been mostly confined to stoves. Learning to use the sewing machine really opens a whole new world. So...
Thanks, I should have put more time into filming and editing but work has been busy and I wanted to get something up
So a quick video of my DIY rig for this backpacking season. havent got out much this season but a cross country move (VA->CA), new baby, and new job, have definitely taken up my time. wish i had more...
The stove is a design I found on YouTube. The person in the video also had the Imusa mug that I have and he demonstrated how to shorten the 1 quart paint can and make the rest o the wood stove. In...
Yeah, getting my 3 month old hooked early. She's a tough critic but she loves the DIY hammock, and hangin' with Dad ;)
So with a few yards of Tyvek, I have gotten a little handy. I have made a simple stuff sack for my DIY hammock (video review to come), a ridge line pocket for said hammock, and most recently a ground...
My big mamajamba from warbonnet is absolutely awesome. Turns into my home away from home great with my eno double
My trauma shears work just fine. no fraying whatsoever
Yeah I have a thin wind screen from heavy duty foil and a lid from a pie pan. I guess I left out some things but u get the picture. I know it is a little on the heavy side but I have ran out of fuel...
so with my new tri-pod, i took a shot at making a gear video. enjoy!

the fact that you used them more than once is impressive. my friend had to set his hammock up almost 5' of the ground to account for the initial stretch and the stretch over night and he still woke...
Im with ya,

Yeah, the whole thing is on my iMac with iMovie. the "trailer" and "part 4" are done with iMovie '11. it was a lot of fun.
Thanks Hawkeye! I really enjoyed your most recent trip. my trail mates and I have decided to make the Gorge our destination next year for our big hike of the season, all because of videos from you...
Well part 4 is finally complete. 40 minutes of video total, thats enough for a made for tv movie! anyways, this last segment is finished and I am happy and proud of the entire project so her it is...
as much as i enjoy my crowsnest, and would love to mary it with a hammockgear TQ, money is short lately and with no trips coming up i cant justify it. but i can squeeze a diy into the budget....
hey what material is it made of?
I work in the emergency room and everyone laughs because they can tell what computer ive been working on because hammockforums.net is minimized in the tool bar. Id love patches and more than anything...
well, im glad everyone likes the video, i cant take much credit for myself, the program practically makes it for ya. this is actually my first season of backpacking, and with that my first season of...

finished up part 3 of the trip... just waiting on the upload, not as much flash and jazz like the "trailer" but straight video through and through.
the video is already scripted all you have to do is drag and drop chunks of video and write stuff in where they tell you to and viola! awesome preview of your trip with all the dramatic emphasis of...
as i continue to chew through all the footage and picture, I decided to mess with some of the features on the new version of iMovie..... here is what I came up with for my Dolly Sods trip
...
looks like the video is now embedded in the post.
I still havent figured out the video embedding part
Thanks! It is a lot of fun telling the story through video!
Thanks, by the way I see on you have the grizz bridge listed as you hammock. Is grizz selling them on a website some where? I'm looking at adding a bridge hammock to the arsenal
i cant remember how I embedded the video last time, this thing is driving me crazy, sorry guys
Here is the rest of day 2, I am just now starting to hit a grove with using the iMovie app. lots of photos and stuff, it was a fun filled day. we all had plenty of energy and were refreshed and...

its a cannon digital camera. i took an 8G card and it gave me 40+ minutes of video. it works really well, im just trying to get proficient at using the camera and taking video. this was probably the...
Yeah im using the iMovie app on my iMac. it is really simple to use but not as easy to cut and trim stuff and fine tune things. I have final cut pro but ive neverused it, im thinking of testing it...
this was our plan and it gave us an awesome tour of the whole Dolly Sods wilderness.
Day 1: 2 miles
Arrive by 4:30 to Red Creek campground (were we will park)
Hike in 2 miles to the...
Thanks guys. Half the fun is re-living the trip putting the video together.
Changed it over. the video is public!! just learning how to post on youtube. hammock member Adam "TheFonz" was on the trip too!
Awesome!!!! Ok so myself and 3 of my hammock hangin' friends made it out for 4 days and 3 nights in the Dolly Sods Wilderness. The weather was amazing including 29º F the first night (my Crowsnest...
