The last one I made was the great flood a few years back. Since then I have always had schedule conflicts. This year I will be in Idaho that weekend. But I will defintely want to attend future...

My bright ideas are few and far between, hence my limited number of posts... but its a perfect time to share one. Last year I salvaged the net mesh bag that our Thanksgiving turkey came in and found...

Hope to be there but can't quite commit yet due to a business trip to Germany in Sept. When my schedule is set I hope to commit. Was really looking forward to it.

I went into my local West Marine store today to pick up some Amsteel that I ordered. One of the guys there asked me what I was doing with it so I told him it was for a hammock. One of the other...

I don't know of any campgrounds with facilities that are open this time of year in those parts. IF you travel further north past Clayton then you can stay at Black Rock Mountain State...

Sorry... I got committed to something else on March 13. Now All my weekends are taken in March. Looks like you guys will have to hang without me this time.

Ok I've been lurking in the background waiting to see what plans came about, but I can see someone has to take the bull by the horns to get this thread off dead center.

So... my calendar has...

Here's hoping for less rain than last fall.

That's my plan now. My layout indicates that I will have some sizable scraps left over that I will use to fill in those potential cold spots. I had planned on making an auxillary underquilt that...

It seems to me that the bolt insulation is made by several pieces of fabric about 18 inches wide rolled in a spiral about each other and pressed flat. THe tightness of the spiral determines how much...

I am making an underquilt - my first project with insulation. I chose Climashield to make the project simpler. I bought some Combat material and some 2.5 oz XP.

When I received the material...

Makes sense now. I assume all versions of yeti UQs use similar technique.

Can someone point me to a thread that explains "Yeti suspension". being a newbie I've never seen a Yeti and I can't find a thread that describes it.

I made a stealth exit this am and didn't make proper tearful goodbye's. Had a great time meeting most of you, time was too short to meet and talk with everyone. Will see you again soon. Was a...

Sounds like my dear Momma! No... she would add "Don't get wet"

Still wet behind the ears in this hammock world. Thought I would not be able to join this hang due to prior commitment... today I found out my weekend has freed up. I am anxious to meet everyone...

mwpeng, I sent you a PM. Check your inbox.

I found some waterproof ripstop at Walmart... white. NO fraying and definitely not able to blow air. I asked for 8 yds, but the bolt had 10 yds. The worker gave me the extra two yards free! I...

That sounds like the material I have seen. The shiny side is "calendared", which means they pass it through heated rollers to bond the fibers together (althogh it still unravels). I was wondering...

I am new to the hammock camping scene, but I've built my first hammock and now I'm lookingfor material to make a tarp. Haven't found any Silnylon yet, judgin from the descriptions of the material...
