Hey Everyone,
I just got the materials from Scott at DIYgearsupply to make the following UQ:
Darted Rectangular UQ
But recently I've been eyeing the KAQ design:
KAQ IX Design
Check out posts 48 and 49 in this thread. Leshka did a pretty clear job outlining the seams.

Hey guys,
I made a 8' and I'm 5'10". Super comfortable. My friend is 6'2" and made a 9' and couldn't imagine why you would need any more space. So I think if you're on the fence, try the 9'.

Got the pictures. First is just the seam between the 8" strip of nylon and the 8" strip of noseeum:

Next is the same section with the hammock strung up:

Just replaced the nylon highlighted in red with noseeum:

Jazilla got it right, sorry I didn't get pics last night. I should be able to tonight. Basically I replaced half of the 8" ripstop piece between the zipper and the hammock body. I flat felled all...
Macca,
I can get you a close up tonight. Traced where it is on my phone

So I finally finished up and got to test hang my hammock yesterday! This thing is awesome! I followed the directions almost exactly and it came out great.
Things I did differently: I added a few...
Thanks for the advice everyone. I had a productive Saturday night and Sunday morning, all that's left is to attach the bugnet. What type if seam do you reccomend for this? The grosgrain seems a...
Jazilla, thanks for confirming my hesitation for flat seams.
How important is running a flame over the edges of the nylon? I may buy a hot knife, but I'm not sure I have a surface to cut with one.
Thanks for the reply.
Just checked out that video, looks pretty nice. Too bad I didn't buy enough zipper to make it convertible. Oh well, I guess that's what I'll have my pronest for. I think I...
Hey guys,
I know this thread is pretty old, but I'm about to start making this hammock this weekend and had a few questions.
For the seams where it says to reinforce with grosgrain, could I...
Thanks Yotey,
I spent a lot of time growing in Maine. My grandmothers house is on the Arundle/Kennebunkport line. Did some camping in Acadia last spring. Beautiful!
I have convinced two of my other biker friends (working on a third) to start hammocking. Maybe we can put together a bike trip this summer. Last year I did a bike trip on the kangamangas and camped...
Yea, I stared at three completely torn up jackets for a long time before starting piecing them together. I picked some minimum dimensions based on the commercially available full size UQs and it...
Can't comment on my UQs weight, I will test temp this weekend. Forecast says lows of 27 and 28. Mine still fits in the little stuff sack to give a packe size reference.

It's just one layer. I plan on using it in conjunction with my xlite neoair for the cold nights. If I need more insulation I have 6 side panels leftover that I could fashion into an additional layer...
Here's my finished 3 JCP jacket UQ!
Will be testing it this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration everyone! This is the first project I've undertaken with a thread injector and I'm proud of the...
Well I finished my setup and got to put it all up on Saturday. :D Trying to post with my phone so I hope the picture is attached.

In please!
Just got my shipping notification tonight!
Thanks Brandon!
Ordered my tarp on the 26th. Still checking my email hourly for a shipping notification..
What has Amazon Prime done to me? This world of instant gratification cannot be healthy. I cannot wait for...
Ask for a price adjustment! My cashier sold me them for $5 a piece!
You got it. I leave the ribbon on and it all comes undone in two passes of thread cutting. I do separate the corners on the inside to begin. Just enough that when you pull it apart you can get the...
I decided that on my last seam I would try and record it to help people out in the seam ripping process. Unfortunately I messed up the angle on my GoPro so most of it is out of the frame :( I...
Alrighty guys and girls,
I was able to score one jacket for $14, went back the next day and the cashier made a price adjustment for me (for reasons unknown to me) and got two more jackets at $5 a...
I would imagine getting out of position with this setup could be difficult without dropping the belt or stepping in your mess.
Actually laughed on this one. :D
Saw this today on reddit and thought I would pass it along :D

Waalkes-
Man I'm jealous. I have a Buell xb12scg, and she doesn't have much room for luggage. My fiancé said she wanted to learn to ride and I suggested buying her an F650 GS, but she saw right...
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!
I will definitely be checking NEHHA out and I'll join up as soon as I have a full setup!
As far as the people recommending winter camping, I expect if...
Hey Hangers! Been lurking for a couple months and figured I'd finally get in on the action.
I've heard for a while now how great hammocking is and am going to give it a go this year. I was given...
