Hello all,

One of the first times I ever posted on HF was when I was planning for a long hike and wanting to figure out if an "all-in-one" setup was possible for a rapid deployment of hammock,...

Hello all,

I don't have any suitable trees for hanging at my house, so I thought I would look into making a turtledog stand. If I'm making it for an Eno DoubleNest, how long should I make that...

Thanks for the responses all. I had seen one of those threads, but not all!

I looked at the Clark option, however, it seems a less elegant solution to me. But I'll do much more research.

I'll...

Hi all,

I'm planning an extended hike next year that is going to be through some varied terrain. I'd like to use a hammock, but there'll be multiple days where there won't be trees to string up...

That's the plan! Or.. I guess I may leave it full size.. so many decisions ;)

A BIG thanks to curlymaple42 for supplying me with the Tyvek! I'm excited to get this together. I'm thinking of making a 9x9 square, then turning it into a hex tarp... so 6 tie-outs, and then making...

wow! Thanks! That is really generous! Sending a PM now... Really, thanks so much. What a cool community this place is!

Thanks all. This is really just for backyard hangs at the moment, and some very very very light car camping that is coming up in the next couple weeks. Noise is fine for this usage, and hopefully if...

Hello all,

So, after some great posts here and a lot of digging, I've decided to give a retry to making a DIY tyvek tarp. Can you help point me in the right direction on what I need/dont need?
...

You know, I'm not super opposed to a DIY situation, I'm just afraid that I'm going to run out of time before I need it. I got deep down the rabbit hole of looking even at Tyvek last night. ...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all his help and info. Lots of great suggestions here. I'm going to dig into all of them, but the two that grab my eye the most are the Dutch CRL,with some soft...

Hi guys,

I've spent tons of time reading threads upon threads here, watching videos on youtube, etc.. and I'm kind of ashamed to say that Im still mystified about tarps. Perhaps you guys can give...

Thanks guys. I guess I should have thought of that! We live in a little townhouse and our "hangable space" is quite small. I can't leave it up at all times, so installing an awning or hanging a big...

Hello all,

I've been slowly building up my hammock gear and you all have been so amazingly helpful as I do so. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind advising me on my next piece.

I've got an ENO...

Thanks guys! This is really helpful. A set of skins looks pretty great! I can understand the desire to pack a tarp separately. I was thinking for ease, it would be nice to have it all as one, but for...

Hello all,

I'm semi-new to hammocks. I have some experience camping casually in the past, and donut wonderful information here when I needed to figure out who to hang a hammock in my home as a...

That was one of my original thoughts after poking around on here a bit, but as I'm renting, I don't want to be drilling holes through our kind landlord's floor joists. Plus, those "joists" look...

the beam clamps did the trick! Not sure why I didnt think of those as I've used those when helping rig sound systems and such.

I grabbed two and a couple eye bolts to screw into them, hung the...

I was just there! I should have taken a pic. I don't think there is a gap above the beam. i think the support for the floor of the main level covers half of it. I'd say the ceiling is about 8-9...

Hello all,

I'm new here and am totally stoked about how much great information is here! This is a great community! I have a question and I hope I'm asking in the correct place. If not, please...
