Sorry I have no answer to your question, but I just checked out MagnaFabrics. Wow, what a selection, and good prices. Thanks.

Sorry, 72", not 73. Stubby sausage fingers hittin the wrong keys. A vendor off ebay.

Very cool. Looks like an awesome time was had by all.

If I drink too much and pass out, that might force me to the ground :laugh:

So if laying in a 90", you would want to lay across it then or at least on the diagonal. If you laid in it like a traditional hammock, the sides would envelope around you would they not?

I found...

Perfect. That answers that. Thanks.

See some of you talk about hammocks that are 90" wide. I have a Claytor which is only 48" wide and when I lay in it, the sides come up pretty much where seeing out the side isn't an issue. My buddys...

Without a doubt, the biggest improvement was leaving the ground itself. With that came better rest, no tossing n turning, no pressure points.

Now that sounds like a pretty cool idea.....BUT, a couple things come to mind.
1. The holes for the ice. If the ice up there is anything like it is here in the dead of Winter, 2' plus, any lateral...

Hmmmm. Upon getting my Claytor, I set it up at home, several times, getting a feel for it. I also had some fraying nylon by the bugnet, but was and still is a non issue. Does not in no way affect my...

I believe what they are referring to is air space between the bottom of the hammock and the pea pod.
Just like the cold air under a bridge in a Minnesota Winter makes the bridge itself much colder....

They do look pretty cool, but yeah, how do you get in them? Surely there is a practical way? Anyhow, from the ones I have seen being used on google pics, they seem quite crowded, tight around the...

Where at in S.MN?

We entered at East Bearskin, took the upper fork and paddled up to Moon, Caribou then Little Caribou, over to East Pine where we took the BIG portage
over to Canoe. Left Canoe...

Just got back from a 10 day trip into the BWCA in Northern Minnesota. After a few years of watching my buddy in his Hennessy, I made the jump last month and purchased a Claytor Jungle. I have NEVER...

Dohhhh....Read it wrong. Thought you said "received a 11 footer AND fixed a ridge line to it. My bad.

note to self. re-read posts while drinking beer.....:laugh:

Neo. I have the same hammock as you do. How did you go about trying to use a ridgeline on your hammock as our have the bug net built in. Did you make small holes in the bugnet and tie the ridgeline...

I have several of them tarps from Mendards, Lowes and whatnot. Just didn't think they would hold up to much wind action. Guess I'm more concerned about using the built in grommets ripping out. Or...

Read thru a few of the recycled tents posts but didn't really see much on using the old floor from a tent as a tarp.
For a quick tarp solution, would this be a viable option? I have 2 tents, one...

Was just reading a couple replies to a post I made. The topic of Widow Makers was mentioned. Never had a close call in all my years of "tenting it" but did have the tops of a pine tree snap off,...

I see many folks here have swapped out the stock diamond tarp for a larger rectangular style tarp. Just curious if anyone uses the stock tarp that came with their JH. If so, have you had any problems...

No, I was just playing around with different heights/sags and whatnot. Yes it gives good visibility, but I would have the rain fly tied of next to the caribiners when I hit the woods. The rainfly is...

I think I know what you mean. In the pic, what you are seeing is the webbing dropped back thru the rings one more time.

Just went out and took a few more shots.

Here are the rings with webbing...

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. A bit overkill. At least I'm good for a couple tons lol.
The reason for the 3/16" was I read somewhere, or at least I think I did, about the thinner diameter Amsteel putting...

Well, last week, my new Claytor hammock arrived. Like any new hobby I get into, I can't leave well enough alone so after some reading here, I decided to tweak the stock suspension.

First, the set...

Welcome from Minnesota

Add me please.

Been piecing my suspension over the past week. Thought I ordered my Amsteel, must be losing my mind, but it looks as if I didn't.

Anyhow, I have to order it now, but also need webbing. Anyone sell...

I always gave my buddy chit for using a hammock. Thought he was just being anti-social lol.

Well after many years of tenting it in the bwca, I made the jump this year to a hammock. No more roots,...

Absolutely will post some pics. Right now my testing facility is between 2 6" diameter poles in my pole barn. The Amsteel I bought is the 3/16" dia. stuff. Was wondering whether or not the smaller...

Ordered me some Amsteel the other day, along with some biners and descending rings.
My plan is.........to use the Amsteel to make a double loop and replace the flat straps that came with the...

Yuppers, I remember seeing the 30 degree thing. I believe it was a diagram. Looked for it on here but can't find it. 30 Degrees, that's WITH you laying in the hammock right? Not just the hammocks...

A little over head height? Wow, ok. I tried like I said to set it up for the first time yesterday. But I only set the tree straps about 3-3/12 feet off the ground and pulled the hammock somewhat...

Very cool. Very well made from what I see. Nothing flimsy, heavy duty.
Got it set up today but have questions.

1. How tight is too tight to set it up? Should it have some sag in it without being...

Does anyone know the rating (pounds) for the stock webbing that comes on the JH?

Just curious. Would 1000# be a save assumption?

Thanks everyone for your quick replys, its very much appreciated. Just got my hammock yesterday and I know I want to swap out the factory suspension for a quick set up application.

Howdy all. Where is a good place to buy Amsteel by the foot?

Thanks....Todd

You all remember the movie "The Jerk"? The part when the new phone books arrived and Steve Martin got all excited.

Well, "The new hammock is here, the new hammock is here" LOL

Arrived safe and...

Welcome from another Minnesotan. This place ROCKS...

Now the no-net is just he JH without the net and tarp system right? I take it that one would primarily use that during the cooler months when bugs aren't an issue?

Hello from a fellow Minnesotan and former soldier. (85-91, Tropic Lightning )
Am pretty much brand new to this forum myself, but have found some really great info.

Cool beans, thanks for the set-up pics. Just received an email yesterday that my hammock has been shipped. Pretty stoked to try it out.
As far as the spreader bar, what I was actually referring to...

Well that's not too bad of a shipping timeframe. I can live with that. I think with the mods, I would like a quick set-up so I was thinking of going with this....

Pulled the trigger last week on the Jungle Hammock. From all I've read, it seems to be just what I am looking for. On the site, it says they ship every Friday, well that would have been yesterday. On...

As the name says, I am an avid hunter, hence, Meat Hunter. Never hunted for trophy or horns. If I wanted a trophy, I'd join a bowling league. When I hunt, it's strictly for the meat. A large portion...

Hi all. Ran across this site while researching various hammock makers. Was surprised by all the mods, tips and tricks one can use so I figured I best join.
We make yearly treks to the BWCA for...
