I went to Thru-Hiker but I don't see any 1.9 Ripstop...I just see this stuff - 1.9 oz Downproof Rip Stop with Teflon DWR
Is this what I should get?
Can I just use 1.1 rip stop since it will be...
Hey Y'all,
I'm going to make a Zhammock...I need to get the materials online (no Wall-marts near me) so where is a good place from which to order ripstop n stuff?
Thanks! :)
The bridge hammock looks cool and it certainly looks like it would be comfortable....but now that people have tried them and the hype has calmed down...are they comfortable?
I am thinking of...
Hey Ya'll,
Do those hammock posts for when you only have 1 tree really work?

Whats up y'all! I was thinking of making a "test hammock" to try out a speer type hammock....
However, I don't even have the rope and fabric yet and so I was wondering...I find my HH pretty...
Wow! :eek: Now that is a hammock I want to make....:D
Are there any definitive how-to instructions on making that most awesome looking hammock?!?
Wow! Great post for DIYs.... I have a question though....How comfortable is a bridge hammock? Anybody out there actually go camping with the thing?
:)
I like it tight not loose
My first hammock and the one I currently use is a HH...but after reading all of these post I think my next one will be a DIY asym hammock with an adjustable ridge line and side tie-outs. No more HH...
Doh! :o Sorry for starting a new thread on an old subject.

Anyone know if the shirts have been ordered or sent out yet?
I wonder how you get in and out of that thing when its in Hammock mode.
Thanks SlowHike! :D
Thanks for the replies...
I wasn't thinking of having 6 feet of the stuff on either end of my hammock...I was going to use just a few inches.
Basically I want to use the Ring Buckle Supports...
Hope this is in the correct forum but I have a question about this site in general....

Once when I was car camping at a state campground in VT, the ranger told me that I couldn't hang my HH in the woods; it was just out side the designated area of the camp site.
He said that the...
I also use sharpies
My vote is for somewhere in the Catskills or the Daks
If you want even more roominess why stop at two side tie outs.

I might try it on my next DIY hammock project.
Who is the guy wearing the towel in the "how to roll up your hammock" video?
