Roger that. Thank you. I also figured it would be a good way to know people in the local area by puting something out there on this thread. Thanks for the info

I meant there is not a lot of camping/backpacking in Hawaii.
I know this already happened or cancelled due to the virus, but throwing my name in the hat for any and all meetups and hangs in the area for the future. Moving to WA (Bremerton area) from Hawaii,...
Great starting video. I know my struggles when making TQ's were the foot box configurations and the side channels for cinching and such. I would focus on those and those options.
Aloha from Hawaii! If you're already a gram weenie you'll fit right in to the hammock crowd! Only with better sleep out in the woods
Will do Silvr! Good to see you doing good. It has been awhile! I miss the AT and hikes/camps there!
Hey everyone! Im happy to report that after 5 years in Hawaii (never used our hammocks here), im getting stationed in the Bremerton area come fall. Just wondering some must camp places, extra gear I...
Looks like a pretty darn flat lay! it even comes with accessories!! Awesome job for the first time. Have you broke it in and gone camping with it yet?
Trying to drum up interest in a hang this summer, plan some hikes and other activities. It doesnt have to be just for one island as long as it's planned out well, we could find a good central...
Brian,
I enjoyed the link to the fabric weight discussion. Because I have been out of the DIY game for quite awhile, I had not heard of many of these new fabrics and the strength of them. This is...
Thanks Brian
I'm in planning mode right now so I'm still figuring fabric selection and the whole 9 yds (pun intended). Appreciate any info you have to offer on your planning and design process. It...
Where is the original write up of the hammock design? was looking for a new project and this is looking like it's at the top of the list.!!!!
The down is sold and on its way back to the mainland where its cold. Thanks guys for the quick responses.
Did not recieve any PM
You were the first to respond. You Got it!!. PM me with your address and details so i can figure out shipping.
Hello home. I recently moved from Virginia to Hawaii do my job. Needless to say that Hawaii doesn't really support a lot of down projects, so I am trying to so what I have left in order to clear some...
wish there was but no can do. water creates terrible reception.
hey guys and girls,
I thought I'd write a quick post here to see if any good Samaritans wanted to catch me up on if there is any late breaking awesomeness in the world of hammocks. I have been out...
What are they? maybe i missed the original discussion
Silversurfer, my wife and I just did the Pen MAr to Gathland sobo for the MAHHA. if your're doing ten mile days, the ensign cowall shelter is a good first stop, with a decent stream after a road...
Hampton VA here. good to have more hangers close to home!
Don't go missing again SS. keep safe up there for Sandy, Sweet n' Low and I are already feeling the effects down here.
I usually post a link to a public photobucket album for everyones viewing pleasure if it involves more than 10 or so pics.
echo's to what the gentlemen have already stated. can't wait to see where we are going to max out next year!!
That was hilarious!! We thought you were in some sort of trouble by the way the officer approached us.
I'm going to try and get there early. There are some recent builds that I have tested but my wife has not used yet, so some training is in order!
I looked at the map and it doesn't look like it is too bad in the elevation, but that shower and all that stuff sounds really good. Are we still on pa for meeting at Gathland at 11?
We could just play it by ear, and if we feel up for it, we can do it!
My wife and I will show ours off. We have a lot of new equipment.
currently making a top quilt. I will check and see what i have afterwards.
welcome from hampton roads area!
I weigh in at 208ish, and have a DIY zing-it adjustable ridgeline for my hammocks. The amount of force exerted on the ridgeline is much less than the sheer force exerted on the whoopieslings or...
just got back from a good weekender with some serious switchbacks!! ready to go. wife and I are working out gear and meal plans as we speak. soooo stoked!
Ok, that makes more sense. I did however, now that this has been explained to me, notice that the final outer shell dimension calculations has a 1" seam allowance and the sewing margin. Isn't this...
Looking through the speadsheet, I gotta say, this is an excellent planning tool. a few questions though, what is the baffle margin and sewing margin at the bottom? I first thought the sewing margin...
thanks for the king words fellas!
I ended up going with 850 FP from wildernesslogics.
and thanks mad for the advice on the fabric. I still have a matching top quilt to complete so I will post...
Hello HF,
I thought I’d share my recent DIY 3/4ish differential cut underquilt. The dimensions are as follows...
Length: 60”
Width: 42”
Baffle Height: 2” with a 2.5” maximum allowance
Down...
here are some more pictures from the overlook!! looking over the topo maps when i got home today, we camped out on little rocky row mtn. I don't think I want to tackle big rocky row until I get my...
sorry to hear that Ghawk. hopefully you get everything repaired.
Might be a little late. 730ish. Darn Hampton roads traffic. Don't leave me!!
Oh not the mountain site. I was talking about crossing the river for the first hang site is south. sorry for the confusion
how was the hike south from pen mar? a few of us are planning that trip to gathland state park for the MAHHA in a couple weeks. how many miles south did you hike?
I think you did plenty good on the initial friday night scouting! although it seems more popular, and fire ring included, my vote would be for A because if I'm reading your words correctly, we would...
good question,
Most UQ's are wide enough that they take on an asym shape once the person lays in the hammock without too much of a compression in down if it is cut right. you can also cinch the...
Based on what I put in google maps, it looks like the second lat/long is off the AT. maybe I'm confused by I thought the hike was on the AT? just curious.
It shouldn't be to big of an issue since one of us will be driving silver back to penmar to get his car.
One thing I do not particularly like about the mesh style hammocks is the pressure points it creates on the body after a long nights sleep. I ended up falling asleep on one at my inlaws house, and...
That sounds about right. we should be able to do that
I Like both ideas!! maybe a table that has hinges to expand to that width when needed, but a normal working table most of the time. I also thought of a whiteboard for the creative juices when they...
