That is very impressive and I love that tarp. Especially the color. Wow, I wish I had the patience to do as good a job.

Thanks, I plan on sleeping with this, plus a PLUQ and if needed a fleece blanket.

I don't think I am that worried about getting too cold in it, I just want some colder weather so I can test it out...

I don't think that description is accurate. This looks like my bag, but mine weighs about 3 pounds.

I don't think I will be camping out at those temps, but I might on the odd occasion.

Thanks...

So I just picked up this bag and it is a 15 degree bag. I was wondering what temps you think i might get down to using it in a hammock. I know it will compress underneath me, but it only cost $30 and...

What type of bag do you have?

Would the zipper on these fleece sleeping bags worry you if you used it as a top quilt? I am a bit worried that somehow it will catch and rip the hammock.

I have been looking for something like this. I want to use a sleeping bag without having o mod it. Jut in case.

I had recently won a contest on Grand Trunks facebook page. My package arrived, but I opened it up to find a set of tree slings instead of what I was expecting. The excitement was audible around the...

Thanks for the help everyone. In the end I went for a poncho liner underquilt. I saw one at the local army surplus store and did that one instead. I was testing out last night for a little bit and I...

Thanks for the suggestions. Another idea I had though of trying is hanging another hammock directly under the one I am sleeping in and putting the hammock in between. I am going to test these ideas....

We actually didn't take any pics. To be honest I didn't expect us to do as many tonight. We were just meant to show them how to do them at home.

So I have just got back from a varsity scout meeting and we just sewed 8 hammocks tonight. The boys were thrilled and the cool thing is that almost all of them mentioned how they want to go hammock...

Would I add the loops along the side?

Sorry, I am just new to making stuff like this and this is probably a simple question.

Ok,

So I was wondering if anyone has an plans for turning a rectangular bag into an under quilt, but designing it so I can still use it as a sleeping bag should I need to sleep on the ground?

I have only used about 3 hammocks. 2 I made myself and 1 I have bought. I will try hanging it as you mentioned.

So I tried a ridgeline that was 83% of the length of the hammock. It didn't really have any effect. I tried 5 or 6 different times to slightly alter the whipping, including using a w whipping.

The...

So my hammock is 10.5 feet long and about 5 feet wide. How long do you recommend I make the ridgeline?

After laying in it again, something just doesn't feel right. It feels as if there is too much...

Hey there. Here is a pic of my son in the hammock I made today. This is my first attempt, but for some reason, I can't seem to get a good flat diagonal lay. any recommendations?

I love it, also,...

It was a local (Tempe, AZ) fabric store called SAS Fabrics. They just had a huge pile of the stuff in the corner of the store that they wanted to get rid of.

I only called on the off chance since...

I am so excited, I finally found somewhere that let me get ripstop for $1 a yard. I got 50 yards. Unfortunately, all of this will be used by the scouts, so I need to get some more.

Whats the point...

Where is the video? Sorry if it is obvious and I missed it.

Thanks for the notes everyone. I would have loved to be able to go on the hammock trip, but unfortunately those dates are a no go, but I will keep an eye out for the next one.

Hey All,

I am new to this forum. I decided to get involved after trying to do research for a scouting project. I ended up making my own hammock from a bed sheet (it was too small) so i decided to...
