FJ40...YES...FJ Cruiser...probably not.

Arizona is awesome! I slept last night in a Yuma wash hanging between a palo verde tree and my buddy's 4x4 van...way fun. We were even visited by some burrows and a kit fox with a taste for beans....

I ended up using an entire tube, but wasted a bunch of it. I mixed small batches in a bottle with pennies in it and a bunch of shaking. when the stuff started to set up, I just got another bottle,...

that's how I did mine and I am happy with both looks and performance...hope yours goes just as well.

I will be in Tuc-town for the upcoming Second Saturdays on 4th Ave event...I'm looking to hang a bit on campus too as there are so many wonderful trees at U of A.

WOOOO! More AZ. people...I'm down here in Yuma, but graduated from U of A so I know your neck of desert too. No way to avoid the heat or special tricks for sleeping well when it is hot out...

I got my ridge line on Saturday. Would be cool to get some free whoopies too:cool: just don't forget that locked brummel...jk.

look at this: http://www.wildernesslogics.com/Night-Owl-Night-Owl.htm

Grosgrain channels with shock cord and a cord lock. I tried it, and love it. you can have a foot box, head box, dog box, or...

Those little black pieces of grosgrain were on the split rings when I removed them from the tent. I didn't find a use for them, so I tossed them later. So far, this thing has held up to a haboob...

cool pillow, I need one too! I left ya a comment...HOPE I WIN!!

It was not made with a pattern, I just sewed two 5x12 pieces of ripstop together at the 12 foot side with a flat felled seam, ran grosgrain on the same seam and sewed it in with loops at each end for...

I figured out if I put the ridge line up, attach the tarp, then pole, then cinch down the sides, the tarp stretched so well on the pole that I really don't need the pole stabilizer system. Those pics...

They hold a tent pole perpendicular to ridge line and replace side tie outs by pushing out the walls like a tent. here are a bunch of pics:

I left out how much my dog likes it too. We have both the Gila and Colorado rivers here in downtown Yuma. We are in the desert, but right in that corner of Mexico/California/AZ. Fortunately, over the...

I had an old tent that donated some hardware to my DIY tarp project. I found these little aluminum thingies that held the poles at each corner of my old dome tent could be slipped into a small split...

You can really get a ton of extra room under a tarp with a pole mod. I did it to my DIY tarp and it is huge! I am now an extreme supporter of this mod because you don't HAVE to use the pole and it...

I ordered a whoopie/toggle/strap kit on sale Monday and it shipped today...not bad considering how busy they must be with nearly 60 quilt orders. I will certainly be watching for the next sale to see...

Thanks guys; It sure is fun bringing all my hammock theories to fruition. The folks on here have given me countless ideas to tinker with. We get two hammocks under it just fine using 3 "trees" I also...

pm sent about a ridgeline...Ineed to replace my crappy walmart yellow rope one:cool:

Recycled some stuff from an old tent and used Joann ripstop with DIY silicone seal. It is roughly 10x12. Used goofy colored grosgrain loops for identification. These are pics of it after testing...

Those walmart poles are OK...but I wore through the cheap rubber tips in less than 2 miles of uphill Trekking (Telegraph pass Trail; Yuma, Az.). I tried both types of poles they had with the...
