Welcome from s.dale.
Thanks for the quick reply Harrellt, I'm trying to get a last minute trip with the kids planned for the Coleman Crystal mine, and some camping. Finding out things are full most places.
I was wondering if any of my fellow Arkansas Hangers, or anyone else, have ever camped at lake Ouachita. If so, I would be interested in any info about doing so. Thanks!
What a weekend! Thanks to Smokehouse for organizing this great hang, and let's all thank Mother Nature, who may have been at the potluck, and the Ozark Society for this great river. Nothing but great...
Pegleg, I've never had a problem with beer at/on the buffalo.
Tn that sounds great. My buddy has a trailer that will hold a similar number. We are planning to float from Ponca to Kyles. What are your plans?
I'll be coming down on Sat. and floating some stretch of the buffalo with a buddy of mine. Are there any other people floating, and shuttles set up? I believe that we will have a boat/canoe trailer...
Be sure and check out the Buffalo River Hang coming up in March. You'll meet a bunch of fellow hangers and see loads of sweet gear.
You know I'm in.
I'll be there. I'm hoping to bring a couple of neander... I mean ground dwellers with me so they can see how the fully evolved relax in the woods. They'll be blown away.
weight is the trick! No weight allows them to slide, Weight causes them to constrict and hold.
I'd like to thank all you folks at Hammock Forums for the wealth of information and inspiration. Included are photo's of hammocks outfitted with whoopies and elephant trunks (when in the woods), and...
That's what I call a sweet UQ. Did they have a variety of colors to choose from? Or did you have to supply the ripstop? I just can't rap my head around all this stealth camping. Stealth hunting, yes!...
I sure would like to make this one work gc. But I may take her up on that.
I use stainless steel eye screws, from Lowes, about half inch diameter, and about four inches of threads. Drill a hole into the rafter slightly smaller than diameter of eye screw. You want just the...
pm has been sent.
thanks dk.
It was me! I was in looking for a rolled hem foot for my Singer. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my lip twisted trying to figure it out. Your grandmother made it look easy in the store.
I just received 35 yards. I'm going to try some single layer hammocks for myself and the kids. Stuff sacks, and uq's to come later, with a little practice. The material came on a cardboard tube in a...
ricecg, nice looking hammock. Did you have some sort of a pattern? I just got some material in and am deciding on what type of hammock to make, so I'm real interested in any sort of pattern, drawing,...
Looks like a winner to me! I have just briefly perused your blog and it is awesome as well. Thanks.
These are sweet!
Awesome gear, and great idea on the Bloomingdales pillows. I want both a TQ and UQ so bad. Your encouraging words push me closer in the DIY direction for those two pieces.
Looks great RB. How was the zipper work? A hammock is my next project, which thanks to all the great posts here seems like it will manageable. The thought of zippers has got me a little squeamish...
Thanks Knotty. I've tied hundreds of bowlines but always in the way of a land lover. I like the sailor variation.
Watermonkey thanks for all the video's. I enjoy all the insight and experience. I just spent some time watching and reading your take on the ul end of the spectrum, and I just left a post although...
I would suggest trading one of the singles for a double. You'll see then why many folks who hang prefer a bit more room when possible. You'll then have a side by side comparison, and will be able to...
Old Gringo picked a winner on this one. Fantastic weather, fantastic folks, great time all around. (OG you shouldn't make promises you can't keep. ;) I can't wait for the next one. I enjoyed looking...
Just ordered a couple pairs each of the straps and elephant trunks from Patrick. I give the Service an A+. Even though it's hot as a firecracker here, I'll be trying it all out as soon as I get them.
Looks like a great time. I'm envious of the long sleeves and coats.
Soft shackles? I'm a little unsure what they are and what they replace. Please, inform me so that I might splice something else. I've got whoopies everywhere.
I would guess that 9' is not enough. Unless your anchor points are much higher, like ceiling level. IMO I would not settle for anything less then the large they are supremely comfy and you can get...
I would look at hangouts.com I have had three L. mayan hammocks from them. They are out of Boulder CO.
Thanks for the offer JRS I do have a hammock for her. Can't wait!
Sounds great! Count us in. I'm really looking forward to meeting folks from the forum.
I've hung plenty of times from webbing used for climbing. Before I stumbled upon this forum I only used climbing supplies. I've had friends that weigh 250 lbs. plus do the same. I've never woke up on...
Will this be a family friendly event? I will have my 5 year old girl that weekend. We would both love to attend.
The only hammock/hammock accessory I have made so far are whoopie slings, which I love, but hammocks are next on the horizon, and then I'm sure under quilts. I love that there is a network of folks...
what is bwdd?
Thanks rootcause. The key for me was using slobro's method of marking/removing half of the fibers about 1.5" down from the end. I have been using the same plastic needle that he used and all. I've...
I finally decided to dip my toes into the "whoopie pool" and cast my old friends bowline, clove hitch, sheet bend and even good old alpine hitch back into the climbing bag, where I guess they will...
Is denatured alcohol available everywhere?
Thanks for the responses. I'll be changing the set up soon. Love the video of the young lady setting up her own hammock.
I've just received two HH scout zips for the kids, and occasionally me, and am interested in changing the suspension system. I am using the single line method on my ENO DN, and like it. I looked...
I've been hanging in Mayan hammocks from "hangouts" in Boulder Co for about 20 years. By far these are the most comfortable hammocks on the planet. It wasn't till last summer that I bought an eno...
