The amount of time spent adjusting the whoopies vs adjusting the round/half hitch is probably about the same. I see the advantage of using the round/halfhitch knot though- you only have to undo the...

Does down proof mean completely waterproof?
2nd this :D
And when SWMBO sees a new shiny sleeping bag, you can say you sold the rare-breed chicken and bought said bag with the proceeds. It's a winner I'm tellin' ya.
I use these stoage cubes as an indoor-enclosure for my house rabbits ^^ They are very expensive in the Uk...
If you want to protect your mat, I would make a big "sock" to fit over the mat, (insert it when limp then inflate when it's in the sock to ensure it's got a good fit). Then add the silicone dots or...
My kitten just liked to play with the slippery ripstop when I was making an over cover. She's mental.
When I put her in the hammock she freaked!
It would be so tempting just to swing around all day.
Phone conversation:
Me: swingwing Hel..lo...oo?
Other: Er, yea, I need that report.
Me: hmm...mm..*swing*......sur..e.. ...*swing*...
:thumbup:It's designed for camping, whatever the temperature!! It's especially useful (I hear) when festival loos are clogged up with god knows what and the ques are stupidly long. Pop round the back...
If you get the shewee pointed in the right direction.... hah!
...THAT'S a point, any ladies use a she-wee? Is it just a UK thing?
Ooohhh recipe please:)
That's bloomin brilliant. It's something me and Bloke need to think about doing! Sharing a 3x3m tarp in a similar hammock set up (V shape) I get a little chilly!
I have 5ft huggers and 6ft whoopies, plus10ft webbing, plus 50m of various cordage. I like cordage. It makes me happy.
...I'd rather have a few extra (hundred!) grams, "just in case"....
Haha oh dear I think I'm using the granny one! (The first one in the vid right?) Well, still no sore bum from hammoch.
I don't have sound at work atm so I'll watch it when I'm home. And I'll learn...
As a noob, I got all my kit from one seller. I emailed him for advice, and he was very helpful. I think it helped to get it from one place to start with, being a noob, as I didn't know about the...
Lady hanger here too from UK! I was the only girl at the group hang in UK I went to a few months ago and all the guys were great. I was with my Bloke too. So if you want to go to one, take a friend...
But to be honest, any quick release knot could be victim to a quick tug in the night...
A few sore bums :D
...hurhurhurhur

I am also a cold sleeper and in the winter in the UK temps may hover around freezing or below. I have had real trouble staying warm. At the mo my set up includes a hammock sock thing, a bodge-it UQ...
Naww Walmart haven't changed Asda much from being a normal supermarket.
"Normal Supermarket" Is just food with maybe a tupperware section :P
...Not guns or small pets in the same isle. That's...
Hhhooo Asda is nothing like walmart! Best Asda could do is some scented candles and maybe an aubergine. Asda definitely doesn't sell guns.
I thought you were kidding, then I saw Shug's avatar. Holy bajesus.
I really need to catch up on those vids!
Time trials, the amount of time you stay inside the hammock :D
I think this'll be my next project.... We need a walmart in the UK. It seems like you can get everything from there xD
Thanks for the link and pic! Was just a quick thought! I wish there were Walmarts in the UK. Srsly you can get everything in there.
For those of us who like to look up into the clouds, has any one attempted a transparent tarp?
I was thinking (if weight and pack size wasn't an issue) of some sort of PVC material, sort of what...
Gosh I wish my Mum had taught me that with knitting. And sewing too.
Wwwaaaaaaayyyy too many unfinished (and unstarted) project in my shed...
My mum introduced me to sewing. She got me a sewing...
I fear this'll be me in a few years when I'm married. But I'm the female party! Does that count? xD
Nice :D I would love a multicoloured hammock. RAINBOW HAMMOCK must get onto making one of thoooose
Can I ask why it's flourescent? :D
"Well why not!"
Mind if I jump in? :D
what fabric did you use for the front/back/baffles?
Could you link us to your sources?
[Edit: sorry I didn't see the breakdown post!]
My sides get cold so I'll be hanging the UQ so that it goes up the sides of the hammock with shock cord :)
I've had alook at UKhammocks but the price is higher than I was expecting, especially...
Haha don't start giving 'em ideas!
It's not so much of a problem, I usually hang between two trees that are too close as opposed too far away, so I always have extra webbing. Plus I had a lot of cord/webbing whatever it is with the...
Though a 3 point hammock does sounds pretty cool.
****! I'm in UK so postage would be a lot ><
This sounds like a fantastic project, let us know how it goes!
Link to incubator?
I'm looking to convert an old 1/2 season down sleeping bag into a Under Quilt. I've done the UQ bit, I just need to fill it with a bit more down. [I hung a month or two ago with it under and the down...
Bump!
No thoughts anyone?
I haven't fallen out yet!
I have recently been using a bow knot to tie up my hammock. Like how you'd tie your shoes.
Webbing round outside of tree, bring back round to front, (crossing at the back) and tie a bow. I put the...

I've got 10m (32ft) of amsteel... What length do I make my whoopies!
I've read 3 ft whoopies (6ft length)
or
5 ft whoopie (10ft length)
or even a 6ft whoopie/12ft length
Whut!
This is what me and Bloke do :D (see my avatar)
Our tarp is 3mx3m, but it does leave a lot of room for drafts.
*Bump* ^^
Has anyone got any rough measurements for a hammock-with-a-person-in-it? I can't get in mine atm and I need to figure out what size to make my Just Jeff's Hammock Sock (ver 2)!
Never :D
I bought some ripstop nylon, which I am assured is breathable/windproof. Not waterproof though- no worries. Also finally got my hands on some proper amsteel from mat @ ukhammocks.
I...
I'm sure this'll be the new HF craze

I've just posted it in another thread but you'll find...
We have a 3m x 3m tarp and this is how I like to pitch it. Simpler, plus more room to move around. There's a lot of wind that passes through but doesn't matter too much- we have ways of dealing with...
