I would like to know if I made the proper choices in carabiners for both my hammock and for the tarp I will be using.

I probably made an OK choice for my hammock; which I will use as a quick...

I received one in post sometime last week, but I do not have any trees in my front or back yard right now to try it from.

I will need to either build or buy a stand, or go out to the nearest...

Is there an ideal size closed loop for a prussik knot to place on a ridgeline for a 9' by 12' tarp?

Would the loop be smaller for smaller and lighter tarps using ridgeline tensioning?

Is there...

The sliding loops suggestion is a very good idea for organizing the cords, but I have also read that some people tie each end of the cords in a loose single loop hitch before stuffing it back into...

I just recently purchased a Planethammock hammock in the colors I was looking for, fairly soon after making the purchase on this multi-rope camo hammock above, which I am also waiting for in post.

I just bought a cheap hammock while I save up for an ENO or something similar.

The hammock I bought is this one:

Great looking teepee pod you got there in your photos.

Looks like you might have some extra tarping options with it as well, such as a wind-break stretched over 2 of the poles or the convential...

Thanks very much for the link.

That is really neat, I did not even give bamboo a thought for what I had in mind. It would certainly be light enough. :shades:

Does anyone know of some light weight portable frame options to suspend a hammock in locations where there are few to no trees?

How light can it get to support 220 lbs and less?

Has anyone ever...

I have 2 items that I want to modify with some tie-outs.

1. One is a 5' by 7' Polyeurathane coated Outdoor Products Tarp (currently my avatar photo, but this will change in the future) that I...

That's Awesome Mustardman, Thanks.

I saw some blue ripstop nylon while I was there, and using some grosgrain for edging at some key areas it looks like I might want to start new project for a...

The blue edges or the black strap?

The grosgrain I just looked at Joanns did not seem that thick as that black stuff you are showing. That strap on your photograph looks like that ribbed truckers...

Let me give a little bit of a description of what I want to do with the Chinook tarp now that some of you have given advice of better materials to use for the project.

For the ridgeline, or long...

BTW, Hawkeye.

I have recently read an interesting thread where you modified an Equinox tarp to run tie-outs through the grommets.

What kind of web strapping did you use and can I get it in...

Yes, I was talking more specifically for tarp tie-outs.

As for a hammock, I think I will buy one and get some good highly rated suspension for it.

I do not know if I trust my skills that much...

I was wondering what everyone uses other than going to retailers like REI, Campmor, Sports Chalet, etc.

Scrounged sources for webbing I have considered have been old military clasp belts but I do...

Does anyone still use these?

I have not seen this kind of lightweight hammock around lately anywhere.

I do not remember how good they were, but I do remember being in a plastic one the day...

I am currently using giant reed rivercane of the arundo donax variety for ultralight tent poles.

It is much like bamboo and much lighter, but not quite as strong as bamboo.

It is extremely...

I know it would be best not to use the grommets at all on most any tarp, but I am curious as to why this company set them at some odd locations.

I just purchased a Chinook sand colored 9.5 x 12...

Thank you for welcoming me so quickly.

Right now, I am just kind of browsing the forums and already finding alot of pretty neat and useful stuff.

I am sure I will learn much by reading and...

Hello Everyone.

I came here to learn how camping hammocks have changed since the times I was a kid and have used heavy canvas and rope hammocks and lightweight pocket net hammocks as well as...
