Thanks TrailSlug! Is there any type or certain brand of detergent I should use?
Hello forum members!
Recently returned from a beach hang in the Caribbean and the hammocks got a bit greasy from sunscreen. Any suggestions on washing? They are homemade out of ripstop with...
Probably going to get my down from wilderness logic.
Thanks! Seemed like they might be pushing their own stuff there, but just wanted to be sure before I dive in.
Has anyone used Momentum M50 fabric with 850FP down?? On thru-hiker it says to use with 900FP. Just checking with anyone who has used it. Thinking of making a TO/UQ combo.
Thanks,

Mustardman,
Going to try and re-do the ends and see if I can get it a little more even. Figured I would do one end at a time to fine-tune it...still open for suggestions.

Got the ends whipped up with some para chord. Tested... Love it!
Hi everyone!
Just finished making my first hammock and was able to test it out today. I would like to thank all the people who have dedicated a lot of time and effort into providing such a wealth...
Sorry for the misinformation, my hammock is made of breathable 1.4oz ripstop nylon. I have tarp-making on my brain today.
The Amsteel might be a bit of overkill, but I have just enough to whip both ends. I have already made continuous loops, ridgeline, and whoopie's.
I am getting to whip the end of my DIY 1.4oz silnylon hammock. I have some left over 7/64 amsteel, and thinking about using that to whip the ends. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions?
