I'm trying to square up material to make a hammock. Is there a trick to this?
I don't have enough room to lay a full 11' x 60" sheet of material on the floor, and I tried to fold it in half, but I...
Yes, being from California, that would be overkill.
$100 to $150
Does anyone have an extra to spare? Looking for dark colors like olive or black on the outside.
Mmmmkay...Both hammocks have a structural ridge line that is at 83%. I adjust them from there. On the 11' hammock, I need to hang my feet over the side, for it to work...I've been testing them both...
Has anyone made an oversized hammock? I have an ENO doublenest (80" wide), and I recently bought an 11 ft hammock that is 58" wide. I'm 6' tall, but I can't get as diagonal as I would like...How...
I understand that the starting point for a Structural Ridge Line is 83% of the OAL of the stretched out hammock...How many of you use different formulas? Why?
I'm trying to go as light as possible, as I read on other forums about ultralighters who venture on multi-day trips with backpacks having a base weight of a bag of potato chips...They must freeze...
No, No, Mike...We don't venture out to your "Western Places"...Unless there's rumor of a gold strike, or the hydrophobey starts killin' too many townsfolk...
I'm hoping to get some feedback on hanging in the Sierras. Having camped there on the ground for many years, I know that the temperature and weather varies widely. I'm wondering what quilts to get....
I am about the same size as you. I first bought an ENO from REI, but recently switched to the longer Wilderness Logics Light Owl. There is a major difference! The Light Owl has a much flatter lay. It...
Years ago, when I was just out of high school, some friends and I went backpacking in the high sierra mountains. It was 1981...I had one of those lightweight string hammocks. As I recall, it was...
I just received a 20 degree UQ from Umderground Quilts. It works wonderful. Kinda like slipping into a warm bath...Ooooooo. Paul was very helpful, and my quilt was expertly crafted. Not sure if...
I have been looking for a 10' x 10' square silnylon tarp, and have been unable to find one. I have found assymetric, cat cut, rectangular, hex...So many choices! It seems to me that a square tarp...
gmcttr, that routing works on 1", but slipped on the 9/16" This webbing is also really soft. I run it twice around most trees. I have the option of being able to go around really large trees, but I...
I ordered my 7/64 Amsteel and hooks from Dutch last week. I plan on making whoopies (sounds kinda funny) for both my fiance's and my own hammocks. I've been reading up on the forum here, and learned...
I was born in Highland Park in '62. Went to High School at ER. I've been here a loooong time!
I hadn't noticed any stretch, but I'm new, so my hiney may not yet be sensitive to such things...I use the ridge line for setup, as I throw my pack on the hammock for some weight, and level it out...
A couple of months ago, I bought an ENO doublenest, and wanted to make a suspension system that would be able to work in the widest number of ways. First off, I live in the Los Angeles area, where...
