Camped out last night with my brother and brther-in-law, got down to 15 degrees, windy, and snowy but surprisingly I was quite warm in my DIY hammock, I would have still been warm even if it was...
Oh man, that stinks. I've been there and can relate.
Nice job!
I made one very similar but shorter. I wish I had made it longer. I got a little over 4 inches of loft also and it is very warm. The down stays pretty well, it only seems to settle a...

I built an xls spreadsheet that calculates weights and works well. I am adding to it and improving it all the time. I started a thread and attached the file but shortly after I posted it the entire...
Nice jeep! I have built a few Trucks myself in the past.
You are right, I should have used a lot more pins. I put them every 8 inches and it was not nearly enough. I also had a hard time keeping the fabric from getting folds sewn in. I ended up having...
3/4 length down under quilt and large rectangular tarp is what I use in cold weather. A nice sleeping bag or top quilt is also necessary. Down is light, WARM, and compresses the best.
My machine is a 1972 Sears Kenmore 1756. I paid 11.00 for it. Cleaned it up a bit and oiled it. It works great. I have made 3 hammocks, two under quilts, 4 tarps, several bags, tree straps, ...
The diy hennessy hammock works for me, I used 1.9 ripstop, a zipper and screen from an old tent and amsteel blue to make woopies. I made the tree straps from 2 inch webbing, just sewed a loop on...

Welcome to the forums from NH. I have made two of the DIY hennessy hammocks and like them a lot. I also made a down under quilt and a synthetic insulation under quilt along with several other gear...
http://img.tapatalk.com/ad2c6228-5ee0-d246.jpgWe were hanging on the edge of a beaver pond last night where there is a known problem bear that cruises through and terrorizes little old ladies, small...
The tarp works well enough, but I am going to only use webbing loops from now on with triangle reinforcement instead of grommets. The grommets just do not hold up very well. Tarp size is nice when...
Double hang and gear hammock. At a really nice beaver pond in NH. This is the first time we tried having the hammocks hung close together. The tarp was the hardest thing to figure out. It rained...
I paid 11.00 at a tag sale
I had my brother with me when the bear showed up, we just yelled at him and he went away.
Ugg, bring gun, Ugg, shoot fuzz thing, Ugg, eat stinky fuz thing, ahhhhhh...... UGG! :)
Had a bear scratching at the door of the tent one evening, ( I nearly filled my pants). Also was surrounded by a pack of coyotes one night that found it amusing to keep me up for a couple hours. I...
I recently purchased tiny stainless removable links kinda like D-rings from home depot that have been very useful in many situations. Tie a loop in the line or make an adjustable sliding loop then...
Great knot! Thanks
Welcome from NH
I have been using 3m double stick tape which works well in many cases and I use super tacky glue from the fabric store for lots of my projects and it works awesome.
Well I should have followed my own measurements, I made one slightly more narrowed than the dimensions of the plan and it is not as nice as I would have liked. It works but I think it would have...
Hanging with my daughter close to home.
I was having the same problem with my old machine, it was bunching the thread underneath and skipping stitches. I tried all the settings and nothing made any difference. I had been using the...

Walmart backpacking tarp, 9.00. 5x7 feet. It is 11 feet when stretched asymmetricaly from corner to corner long wise. Also case sew two together to make a 14x10, I have used this tarp in very bad...
Russell pond is nice, haven't been there for a long time. Hope to see you "hanging around" sometime.
I slept out in the hammock last night and it rained all night. It rained HARD at times and was a little windy. My DIY tarp worked well, I stayed dry all night. So glad it worked.
If anyone is interested in making one, I will upload photos of it and instructions how to make it as soon as I have everything ready. I think I got the measurements right, it works well over my...
Attached is a PDF file with the dimensions of an Ogee Style tarp I made, I hope it is useful to others here.

Hello, welcome from NH. Looking forward to hearing of your adventurers.
Hi, welcome from NH.
I have a hammock like yours and used it in the past, I found it a lot more comfortable than the ground but heavy and kinda tedious to set up. I sewed ripstop under it to...

Welcome from NH, I too have a bad back and sleeping in the hammock has proven to be much better than on the ground.
Lol, didn't realize where you lived. :)
