Hmm... very nifty. I would have to guess it would work, assuming the center piece of ripstop was not able to be pulled tight from the sides, thereby flattening the insulation. I bet you would have...

Very nice! What are the dimensions?
After going through about a million permutations and tweeks, not to mention several cans of denatured alcohol, I have found this to be the most efficient setup. The cat stove is JB Weld-ed to a tuna...
I use a Prusik for my RL and it has never slipped. I don't like the extra metal/mechanics most other adjustable solutions require
Wow! Very neat to watch your methods evolve. Have you tried ripstop? How does it compare with the taffeta?
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I will let you know how it goes.
@ JohnSawyer: Yeah, its about the size of a soccer ball, and heavier than I would like, its nice to know I can do a single-layer...
Here is my first shot at making a hammock. I just gotta crow a bit!
As you can see I cribbed ALOT from this forum. It is a double-layer 1.1 with polyester insulation between, removable bug-net,...
You can get bug net at most large fabric stores, like Hancock or JoAnn's.
I am thinking I don't need the double layers for strength at 125#, but I was thinking of a permanent sandwich with the insultex or another thin foam (like the packing foam Big Jim mentioned (gotta...
I'm glad you had some success with the baggy (for lack of a better term) bottom layer lonetracker. I scavanged the zipper off an old fleece sleeping bag for the bug net, and was hoping to slip the...
So if I had a particular pad in mind, I could make a pocket specifically for it, rather than run fabric all the way from end to end and side to side? I assume as long as it works like a sleeve, and...
I am building a hammock and have one small problem. I have only ever seen single-layer hammocks, but with the cool weather on its way I was thinking about doing a double-layer version. So I have a...
What are the odds!? I placed an order a few hours before this post!
Thanks for the advice!
I had noticed someone said they made their ridgeline 80% of total length, but my math kept giving me 92" for a 100" hammock.
Hello,
I am working on my own version of this project, but I have no experience with hammocks. I think it is going well, except I don't know how long the ridgeline should be. Is there a formula...
