You should check out Scott's fabric sale at Backwoods Daydreamer. I got some 1.1 in Olive but he also has it in Camo. It's considered second quality because it has two small lines down the...

I don't see them online but I'm pretty sure last time I was in West Marine they had some. If you have one close it might be worth checking out.

That would work just fine. It isn't moving when its under tension so no worries. I put one on my DIY hammock with a zing-it soft shackle so I could make it removeable if I wanted. Just another...

I agree with Linuxhack in that you would be diminishing the protection gained by the use of tree straps in that way. By running the sling through the webbing you would only be getting a little...

This is a picture from my DIY hammock and it wasn't hard to do at all. It's folded in thirds, just start with a piece a little longer than you want so you have more to hang onto when sewing, when...

I just quickly mocked this up with some scraps. I'll use a locked brummel if I decide this is what I'm going to use.

If I undstand how your using a large bowline, I don't think it's quite the same. This way you don't have to feed everything through your loop in your bowline. Not bad if your ridgeline is on its...

I've started using a nacrabiner to attach one end of my ridgeline around the tree. I inadvertently dropped it while packing up my tarp the other day...thankfully while at home. This got me thinking...

Just mocked up the cow's hitch or larks head idea. I think I like it. This way you could get rid of the D ring and larks head a loop with a diamond knot at the end to the GG of your tarp. Then you...

Search the forum for "loop shackles". If I knew how to link to a thread I would...sorry.

They should satisfy what your looking for...kind of fun to make as well.

They are "flag clips" from Seattle Fabrics. They are bigger than I wanted but it's what I had.



Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Just got my first DIY hammock completed a couple of days ago. Lays flat and sleeps great. I was able to use quite a few ideas I've learned from you all and couple of my own. The whoopie ridge line...

Thanks for the responces. I didn't think it was an issue but I knew I would be reassured if I posted it on here. I think I'll be adding myself to the waiting list soon.

I was looking at the 1.1 double on the website and noticed in the second to last picture what appears to be the inside layer was loose and kind of in the face of the girl that is hanging in it. Has...

I've sewn tie outs to the middle of both sides of my tarp, inside and outside that is. This way I can pull the sides of my tarp out as well as have a point to tie my hammock pullouts to in a storm...

I'm in the planning stages of a DIY double layer with zip on bug net. Are there any arguments for sewing the zipper to one layer or the other...making the opening between layers either on the inside...

Seattle Fabrics...under hardware go to snap hooks and other hooks

Thanks for the info. I know it wasn't ever dry cleaned. Its been stored laying on top of a box in my parents basement. So its stayed dry and fully lofted for years. I wore it for a while today...

Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster. First of all I want to thank you all for the wealth of information you have already provided me.

Now for hopefully a little more....I've got an...
