Fantastic time! Have to be able to test the tarps every now and then:lol:. Thanks for all the hard work everybody! The food was outstanding as usual. The mountain man breakfast, pancakes, chili,...

Woooohoooo! I'll be there. I'll bring a camp table and some extra gear and some items for raffle.

Looks great! I set up at a lot of outdoor festivals and usually it is big wide open spaces so this works great! I do use 1" polyester webbing (1500 lb breaking strength) for my struts tie outs...

I did something like this a few years ago. It worked out fine but (at least my method) was more labor intensive than I would like to do on a consistent bases. ...

30% off all hammocks through April 7.

We would like to generate some feedback on our hammocks from the Hammock Forums members so we thought we would give you a little incentive to pick one up...

Glad you made it! A Louisiana Hang without Jazilla just wouldn't be right!

Great to see you there Doc! What's it been 12 years? Really enjoyed catching up with you.

Absolutely fantastic! Largest gear raffle ever. Big thanks to Rip Stop By The Roll, Ridge Line Media Systems (Hang Time Hook), Dutch, as well as others for their awesome donations. The food...

DILLY DILLY!!

Thank you!



Great! Hopefully I'll be there between 3 and 4



Thank you! See you there!!

Thank you! I had to do a crash course in website design. It was kind of like sewing an under quilt. Better off if you can sit down and work on it for a few hours and not 10 min here and there. :lol:

Haha, it is pronounced GO. Think cajun names like Boudreaux and Thibodeaux. The 'eaux has a long O sound. My wife gets the credit for the name :laugh:

Your welcome and thank you!

I live in Louisiana but originally from Arkansas. We have a commercial sewing facility in Arkansas but for right now, we sew our hammocks in Louisiana. If orders start becoming more than we can...

I wanted to let everyone know that the GEAUX Hammock Gear website is now up and running. http://www.geauxhammockgear.com

Just an opportunity show off everyone's rain flys! See You There!

They actually do have hammocks, it is under the "Other Equipment" Heading.

We have worked with several universities, albeit down south, to get our hammocks in their gear rental programs. Most allow non students to have a membership and usually the gear rental prices are a...

Awesome!! Thanks for working all of that out!

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Well isn't that the proverbial monkey wrench!!

Talk to your student government association and your student rec center. I worked with both entities at two universities as well as a local summer camp and a local city park to get these hammock...

Here are some of the goodies that will be up for grabs in our raffle. I will have a few other items ready by the time we get there.

Nice!!

I bought one of these about 2 years ago because it sews a little faster than most home machines. It has sewed a couple hundred hammocks, rain flys, Climashield quilts and tree straps. Never adjusted...

Absolutely! You can see and try out a lot of different setups. I read your blog post on your DIY hammock. It looked great! I know me and some others will have extra gear that you would be welcome to...

Originally from Arkansas (El Dorado) but I have lived here for 23 years. My wife is from West Monroe. I am trying to increase the awareness of hammock camping in the area. I have a group of friends...

Sounds great! I have a spool of 7/64" Amsteel. Might have to bring my splicing kit as well. Splicing is like knitting for hammockers :lol:. Looking forward to it!

Hey cavaliera,

Spoke with Ripstop by the Roll and they will be sending some cool items for our raffle/door prizes! I will also be bringing an assortment of items from GEAUX Hammock including a few...

Finished up another down TQ. Material is 1.1 oz calendered ripstop, 950 FP goose down, .9 oz no-see-um mesh for the baffles. I added a pack hook on some grosgrain to one side of the head end, added...

Thanks cavaliera! Sounds great! Hopefully I will be bringing a couple of guest as well.

I'm in! Be glad to help plan or help anyway I can. I will have some items for raffle and can hopefully get some other things as well. Will bring my Dutch oven for some type of cobbler. I also have a...

Thank you!



Thanks!



Thanks, I appreciate that!

Reading some info from their website as well as watching the video, it appears the company is making that claim. I believe the US military uses Climashield in their cold weather coats and sleeping...

I think that is a good idea or perhaps a 5.0 and a 3.6 oz. That might give you more options. Use the 3.6 for nights in the 40's-50's, 5.0 for nights in the upper 20's and both combined for nights in...

I think the 7.5 oz would be able to handle those temps as long as you had a good top quilt. I have not personally worked with the 7.5 oz but I have layered a 5.0 and a 3.6 oz quilt together as well...

Glad it was helpful and thank you! Some people feel there are some advantages of double layer hammocks one of which is an extra layer to help prevent mosquitoes from biting from underneath. The only...

Climashield compresses down better than most synthetic insulation. Of course the thicker/warmer Climashield will not compress as well as the the thinner (i.e. 5 oz vs. 3.6 oz.) I usually make a stuff...

Thanks! Sorry for leaving that out! Loft is right at 2.5" Dimensions are 82" x 48". Still not sure about the weight. I have been testing it out the last couple of nights and haven't weighed it.

Thanks! There is a very precise, complicated formula...that I didn't use:lol: I had purchased 16 ounces of 850 FP down so I divided 16 by 12. I put a bowl on my scales and zeroed it out. Added down...

Thanks, I am pretty happy with it:)



Thanks! I appreciate it!



Thank you! It isn't really all that hard. It is a little time consuming...and a little messy when you start stuffing the...

I recently finished my first down top quilt so I thought why not go ahead and make my first down UQ. Material used was 1.1 oz calendered ripstop nylon, 0.9 oz no-see-um material for the baffels and...

Here are the instructions from the Ripstop by the Roll website.

You could. Kyle at Ripstop by the Roll sells a 10 oz Climashield but I thing it would be a booger to sew through and at that temp, down might be a better option. I have added a separate 3.6 oz under...

I was a donating member for 3 years. My subscription ran out and I didn't renew partly because I was really busy with my new company but to some degree it was due to a message I received from a...

Thanks jellyfish! I am not sure of the correct term as I have seen both words seemingly used interchangeably.
...

Thanks, I was thinking I would do 12 darts (12 x .75 = 9"). I won't stress over it too much. :D

Thanks! Very nice looking work! I was looking at/using the CatSplat UQ calculator and it is covers so many details but surprised I couldn't find anything on the darts.

I am making a down under quilt with 12 chambers. My outside layer is 57" wide, my inside layer is 48" wide. How do I determine the size of the darts for the outside layer? Is it as simple as 57-48=9...

Yep! Has happened to me a few times as well!
