Nice! Would love to see some pics of your setup!

That is awesome!!! =:)

I get mine from Dutch. Love the guy!!

Wow, really nice job. I had never thought of using a piece of string to do the radius of the circle. I like it! =:)

Wow, that is really cool!! Thanks for sharing!

I had this problem myself before with hammockforums. What I ended up doing was using a different MAC address for the WAN port on my home router and forcing my router to get a new DHCP address. This...

Yeah, this is what I did too and I love my 90x156" dual layer DIY hammock! Can you explain what you did what the poly fill quilt loft? Doesn't the second hammock layer compress the insulation? If you...

I'd strongly suggest a DIY 90x156" crinkle taffeta tablecloth hammock from tableclothsfactory.com. It's what I've been sleeping in, indoors, every night for the past 8 months, and I'm 6'1" and 230...

Yeah, I'm thinking you're right about the air resistance. Sadly, I like my setup and don't want to stop using it. But I do like your idea about the rope to pull to swing. I think that's the most...

LOL! I LOVE this idea! =:P



Hm. I'd be trading one problem in for another, but it's a thought! =:P



Wow, this sounds pretty interesting, but I only want one axis of movement. I think I'd...

I think this is the closest to simultaneous insanity and brilliance I've seen yet. I LOVE IT! Thank you (seriously)! This is exactly the kind of explanation I was hoping for. I don't have a physics...

Yeah, this makes sense. Probably because metal to metal at the highest point of possible friction is minimizing the friction?



I like both of these ideas. I hadn't thought of the leg motion....

Thanks so much to everyone who answered!



Here's my setup:

Nothing in my suspension is...

LOL! Wow, thanks everyone for the answers! Some of you are crazier than I am, which is good to see. =:) I'm going to answer a couple of comments in a sec... hope I don't annoy anyone further. Now, if...

I sleep in my indoor hammock every night, and as I go to sleep, I love to swing side to side gently. But when I swing myself to sleep at night, right now I'm only able to get about 15 good swings...

I'm in, thanks!!!!

I made my hammock out of 2 90x156 crinkle taffeta tablecloths. I absolutely loved it. I've replaced my bed with it and sleep in it in my bedroom, every night, and have been for about 6 months now, at...

Ooh, awesome, thank you!! =:)

Woah, nice! Did you make this or buy it? I'd love to make something like this.

I've been trying to find this post because I'm interested in doing the same thing, but can't find it.

And what I REALLY want is a portable hammock stand that I can fly with. =:)

This is interesting to me too. I have been sleeping in a dual layer homemade 90"x156" crinkle taffeta hammock for the last several months as a full time bed replacement. I love it because it's so big...

Wow, very nice! I've switched from 40 years of bed-sleeping to hammock sleeping every night in my bedroom too. Every night I sleep in a bed, I wake up stiff and sore, my neck and back are killing me,...

I LOVE this!! =:)

Ordered a bunch of goodies. Can't wait to get them. Thanks, Dutch!!

LOL. Nope, I'm kinda attached to my current bride of 20+ years. =:)

Anyway, I just wanted to report back that I couldn't hold out against UnderGroundQuilts.com's Black Friday sale. I just finally...

Yeah, I definitely want to get a full length underquilt. Hm, I had been thinking that down would be the best fill. I guess I don't know enough about the differences between down and synthetic fill to...

Ooh, thanks Jason, I didn't see that until you mentioned it. Checking it out now.

Holy cow. I just wanted to say... WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I never thought of looking at Salvation Army for down comforters! Nice one! =:)

I am going through the exact same conundrum right now and I've come to the exact same conclusion. And all the more so if I can get a great UQ for a better-than-normal price for Black Friday or...

That is a GREAT idea! =:)

LOL. Awesome, thanks for the review! I'd never heard of UGQ before, but it seems that they have great quality!

Nice idea, thanks!! I think what's most interesting about your idea is that it attaches directly to the hammock edges itself. I think that eliminates a lot of problems right there that I keep having....

Hey there! I just saw this video yesterday and I love your idea! But as soon as I saw it, something in my brain said maybe it's time for me to stop trying to be such a cheapskate and just do this...

I think the 20° Zeppelin sounds awesome, and I absolutely love the blue color you guys offer. I'm new to the materials part of this, but it sounds like the materials you guys use are better than the...

Ooh, that's a really good price! I realize this may be hard to answer, but how does the Zeppelin Down UQ compare with, say, a JRB Washington 3?

From what I've read, down fill is the best, but costs more? Do I have that right? Does down compress well and then regain its loft more consistently and for more years than synthetic fill? If I'm...

Both of these ideas are excellent, thank you!! As to the former, do our hammock vendor friends post their Black Friday sales ahead of time anywhere that I could browse through? I think this might be...

Yeah, I actually already did this. The problem is that my darling bride is still sleeping in our bed, so if I make it warm enough for me to not wake up shivering, she's in bed, sweating. My sleeping...

Hi there,

I'm sleeping in a hammock in my bedroom. Thus far, I've been unable to find an underquilt that works consistently for me.

I first tried using just a poncho liner and that was not...

Very nice content in your video! I'd love to see how your gear packs down and how small the sleeping bag gets. I really like the bike tire patch kit idea. The music was too loud, too offensive, and...

Beautiful! I did exactly the same thing here in a couple of rooms. Where did you get the anchor hooks?

Shug, which JRB do you use? I'm looking for a full length UQ, I think.

I've been sleeping in an indoor hammock for the last couple of months and I absolutely love it. I've installed cargo net loops (can't remember what they're called) into my wall studs with 2 3" #14...

Right, but what do you do after the 3 folds? Do you fold them one more time, towards each other and towards the center? Or do you fold them away from each other for the final fold?

Is the outside...

Yeah, the DL didn't keep me any warmer at all. Last night, I sewed my sleeping bag into a decent underquilt and I was very warm from below, finally. Now I'm trying to figure out how to stay warm from...

Thanks, Ghillieshot. I did have one more question. In your video for the Hennessy Patent fold, you did 4 folds towards the middle (initial fold and then three more folds for each side), but you...

No, I just sewed them right on top of each other. Hrm. Last night wasn't a success. I like the double layer hammock, but it didn't solve the problem of keeping me warm at all. I still woke up cold...

Yeah, I don't know. Excellent questions. I've never used pads before, so I'm trying to figure this out too.



I think it might. I'm thinking that there would be less compression on the sleeping...

I love this! I'm going to try the same thing. Can you give some more info about how you did it?

Did you sew the two fabrics together and if so, where exactly did you sew? Did you sew the sides or...

A bunch of the links are broken for me. Since this is sticky, it would be nice if these links could be fixed. Thanks!!
