I'm in eastern MA. Not set up for winter hanging, either, but I would like to get together in warmer weather and see everyone else's setups.

Gr8rh8tr, how much does the field jacket liner weigh?

Grizzly, that is, um, gristly. Next project: kevlar finger cozies!

When I start a sewing project, I make sure the thickness of the needle is suited to the fabric I'm sewing (there may be a chart...

Over the weekend, I made my first hammock with Wal-Mart ripstop and added 11' of hardware-store tie-down straps on each end,...

Man, the Whites are causing me to hammock... especially since the whole range is mostly trees, rocks, and roots! Sleeping on those with a CCF pad... :(

HE, I'm enjoying your trail journals. ...

Aw heck, I had 8" zip ties in the basement! And did I mention that I'm a mental midget when it comes to math? So these replies have been very helpful. :)

Hi everyone,
I'm gathering materials to make my first hammock, although I've never seen more than a picture of a camping hammock. Here's what I have so far, and my questions:

Hi all,
I just joined today after lurking for a couple of weeks, and my head is spinning with all the information on webbing, buckles, ridgelines and two-way zippers. I don't even have a hammock...
