Howdy. I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death somewhere, but i can't find it using the search feature, and google doesn't have a wide variety of articles, so i'm turning to you guys. I just got...

what weekend are you going out to that? i just found out one of the kids in my hall has some stuff for cold weather so i think i'll take him on his first hang if that weekend works out.

that's not a bad idea, i'll have to look around and see if there are any places around, i usually just hit up the AT since it's free. and Crash, i was wondering when that hang was, i remember seeing...

i won't be able to do that, this is a wedding planning weekend. What does MAHHA mean anyway?

I go to school out in Lancaster and i'm wondering if there are any hangs going on soon, i'm dying with school work and just need to get out into the woods but there's no one here that does real...

i did, but my thoughts were i really like the ease of the bottom entry, 30" of velcro are cheap, and the sewing is simple. i'm going to be making a second one for my fiancee, so this is just a beta...

Howdy y'all. Jo-anns is having a 50% off fabric sale which means i'm back to the sewing machine! this time i'm lookin' to make a EXPEDITION ASYM. my counsin has either this hammock or some of the...

i'm wondering it you could give me dimensions of the netting, just general width, i'l like to place an order for some, but i want to know a size for reference. thanks!

so, i'm guessing the time would be when the stalks start turning brown and the pods seem to be fatter. probably late september or October. i'll save this project until i'm home. my roommates will...

Warmsoda, the cattails are coming up everywhere around where I live.when would it be best to harvest them? Should I wait until fall or winter or is the summer while they're fresh good? I've been...

flag clips, cool thanks, i would have never guessed that as the name for them.

i use masons line for a lot of things on my rig, it's cheap and bright in color, so far i'm using it for a ridgeline, support for holding my UnderQuilt under my hammock, and tiedowns for my tarp, but...

how would i go about sewing loops for the webbing (to hook a biner into, then onto the whoopie sling)? and can anyone send/post a link with an example of what would make good webbing for tree huggers

i want to start this tread as a source of information about where to get hardware for DIY projects, and where to find specific parts... or... maybe on the other hand there's a thread out there...

http://www.hammockforums.net/gallery/files/6/3/prussicksetup_thumb.jpg

now that i get to see the (sort of) set up, i think i'm going to go for it, i'll run out to joanns and get some webbing, then...

yeah i was wondering that too, how'd you measure them out to get the centered perfectly?

that's what i was thinking, is even if i use whoopies... i'll still have to use tree huggers, and since i have then that would most likely be slapstraps... i really want to try the whoopies out, but...

yeah i have that one saved, but thanks! have you tried it or anything like it?

i just used regular ripstop, i think in the spring when it's warm and things dry i'll make sil-slurry for it... and the joanns by me is like that too, and for some reason walmart both by school and...

i want to check out the whoopie slings, i have the slapstrap pros now, and i hung my single nest about 2.5 off the ground, when i woke up at 3 in the morning my UQ was dragging on the ground in the...

so, i finally have my tarp completed WITH PICTURES. it was the first real project i took on, and it came out well. i bought 8.8 yrds of Red ripstop nylon from joann's as well as 10 ft. of poly...

wow, thanks! that's really helpful! i just finished my DIY tarp, but since i have pieces of red ripstop and lint all over it's time for a clean.

well, with that call, i'lll see about some oil and a manuel. i just love the machine because it's a beast. and felt bad just pushing it off, that's why i was so indecisive in my original post. or at...

my machine is slowly crapping out on me (singer 237), it's not keeping the speed the longer i sew. i noticed that there is a singer 2250 tradition on sale in target this week for $69. does anyone...

thanks for the input! like is said, this is not an area i have any experience in, all my life 've been falling asleep in cars, boats, planes, trains and everything else that moves, i find it...

I want to take my friend camping, but they get motion sickness. does anyone have suggestions on stabilizing a hammock? i don't have even the slightest case of motion sickness so i don't ever notice...

i only need 6 yards of it... but the other set is only 5 yards, which won't be enough. so i'll have some extra for other projects... unless i buy it cut to fit (which is now an option thanks to...

i may take you up on that offer, how wide is it? for cord, i was just going to use nylon clothesline rope i got at walmart becuase it's nice and smooth so will pull through without catching on...

so i'm thinking about building a bug net for my hammock and i need some help finding the cinch for the cinch cord. My design is just going to be a tube of no-see-um netting with a pull cinch cord at...

sclittlefield, i was wondering, for the winter dream, you have a picture posted of it in red on the first page, how do you fasten the two corners up to seal it into that tent like shape, is it...

let me just say this is an amazing thread, i just spent the last couple hours reading and clicking on the links, i can't wait until late summer of 2010 when i can give it a try. i just wanted to go...

I was thinking it would just literally be like one of those kids tunnels/tubes just hanging around a hammock. I'm not building until someone has a sale on ripstop. But I may just go with an A Frame...

so i had an idea for making a tube of nylon. it would end up being like that plastic kids tunnel thing. well i need some help brain storming. i need to make poles to keep it round. i was thinking...

A winter hang. I'm game. Is there An address for Batona camp site? A bunch of places popped up on the map when I searched it. I can only stick around for Friday night but I'm looking forward to it....

i've never seen that before, but i think i'll have to order one. that's a good idea, thanks for the heads up!

i don't have a picture of the space blanket because it got torn up in the wind the other day, but this is my new attempt, the old down filled throw, it's pretty warm. i think i will retry the Space...

sorry i didn't reply sooner it's been busy around here. the space blanket worked, but not as well as i would hope, it was warmer than not having anything, but i'm still looking around for something...

out of pure curiosity i decided to make an underquilt out of a space blanket. i pulled the blanket into a hammock shape by just tying the two sides together with a nylon rope, then i used a presik...

i got my first eno hammock for christmas, i'm looking for weather protection. i read that the socks will create too much condensation but they are light and stop the wind, but i want to make...

the only fabric store around me that had any hammock building fabric is sadly walmart. and they only have polyester. is this any good to use? i know you can use polyester, but is there any thickness...

how much would polyester run in comparison? and what would i go with if i decide to use that?

after spending last week at the shore sleeping in a hammock. i decided i want to build my own. my store sells eno's and, well i'm a college student and don't have $54 for a few yards of overrated...

dude nice you're using sketch up! i use that program for all my building.
