WB Edge Tarp

Also Arrowhead Equipment is great for short lengths.
2.2mm Lash-it works great.
The edge is just right for a blackbird.

With door kit...
I use the WBBB straps. For normal set up I use them as designed but my system is slightly different. Instead of only buckles on the continuous loop I also spiced a Dutch Hook on there. I also carry a...
I'm interested. PM on it's way.
Haha, when I read that I just did! :lol::lol:
Nice thread, I'm going to bookmark this one but watch it with some jealousy, I'm flying into Cincinnati on business for next week and won't have a chance to hang.
Welcome from the UK. I was in Mena at christmas as I have family there but neglected the bring my hammock so just stared wistfully at the trees.
Living in the UK I found locally (read: whole country) sourcing Lash-It a problem.
I can get Zing-It at approx £25 ($40) here but lash it has proved quite illusive. Other brand locally available...
I found this video on youtube, the guy uses cord and knots only so may be of some use to you.

Try as I might I was unable to get my hennessy asym tarp to hang nicely when attaching to the suspension. I tried with the original suspension and whoopies. When I got it into the hammock it would...
I'm willing to help out if needed.
1. iPad2
2. WBBB 1.0, KAQ Potomac UQ, WB adj. webbing suspension/whoopies slings depending on mood.
3. I have a computer science degree and am a software...
I've used Robline Ocean 3000 that you can get in the UK but I have found it's cheaper to get Amsteel from Arrowhead Equipment (when buying 125+ ft and factoring in shipping cost). The only issue I...
I've made whoopies with FSE Robline Ocean 3000 3mm. The adjustable ridge line of my BB is made out of the 2mm. It's SK-75 12 braid hollow core dyneema. It seems to be far more available in this side...
The most recent reel of zing-it I bought seems to be woven tighter than my last reel and I had. I was having great trouble burying it. As soon as it doubled over I was unable to pull it through the...
Dang it, bought some grey from you a couple of days ago, had I have known this I would have checked to see if you had black. I guess I'll have to order some more,... what a shame ;)
I've started rigging my new Superfly, I have the tarp corners set up in much the same was as you and am moving on to the doors and panel pulls. How long is the shock cord that you attached to the...
Looking forward to reading it.
Ordered :)
I've used mine with a HH Expedition in the 40's and it was fine. I slept in my clothes with a 3 season sleeping bag for a TQ and was perfectly snug. My clothes were tshirt and sweater and jeans (not...
Anything you want, they're too busy getting a good nights sleep and dreaming of new tarps and mods ;)
Sugru is great stuff, I've used it to make handles for awkward to fit cables, make a new foot for some equipment and some textured grips. I got bored once and covered a zippo lighter in a 1mm layer...
Closer to the the coast in Halesworth. I won't hold being a Brummie against ya ;)
Welcome from another Suffolk guy!
PM Sent. :)
Are durability of fabric and weight are mutually exclusive measurements? 1.0 fabric _may_ be half the weight of 2.0 but is it really half as durable? Surely quality of weave plays a part? Does two...
Welcome from the east.
That sucks. Hopefully they're not about to slap some customs duties on there.
I watched the shipping on mine and it was in customs for 2 minutes according to the tracking info. I've had things stay...
6 ft huggers and 6 ft whoopies are a good start. You could also use the long webbing from the stock wbbb suspension as straps for a little while until you work out a comfortable length for you, that...
Great look at the tarp, thanks.
I shall be pulling the trigger on one soon. Warbonnet doesn't need to advertise with all the vids on here ;)
CRL and tensioning tie outs and posted.
Enjoy!
I can offer a set of auto tensioning tarp tie outs and a continuous ridge line.
PM if you'd like them.
I can't comment on the silnylon hex fly as I have not used one but the cheaper 70D hex fly definitely will not fit in the snake skins with the hammock. Try as I might I could not get them to fit and...
Black, grey/charcoal. Don't mind a bit of green as long as it's dark.
Umm, no, uh ah, no way. The only pack i'd be hiking with there is my parachute ;)
Congratz!
I ordered the same setup as you and it is currently in the mail, your post makes the wait all the more uncomfortable and exciting :lol:
I hope yours lives up to your expectations. :)
Heading to my old folks place that has a campsite to take the wife and kid camping. They will be ground dwelling while I am in the hammock. Got it all set up: ...
Thanks for the pics, after seeing them I am even more excited about the one I ordered not long ago :D
From what I've read here it takes a little bit to find the groove, but when you do,... <insert shug quote> ;) Good luck finding the sweet spot shadowangel.
I was thinking about a tarp and the deal...
It all started with my wife needing a hand with some stuff. Before I could offer to help out of the goodness of my heart she offered to pay me to help. How could I pass up such an offer when I had...
Thanks for the info rumblefish. I thought about it a bit more after posting and went ahead and decided not to include the taper in measurements. It's nice to know I made the right choice.
So I...
When making whoopie slings out of 7/64 amsteel I understand the locked brummel needs a bury of 4.5 inches. If I have tapered the end of the rope does the bury length include tapered portion of the...
Hi all, I've been into hammock camping for a while but it was put on the back burner whilst I put my time and money towards other things. I'm now getting back to my hammock and am starting with a few...
