Fantastic offer. Thanks a lot and good luck to everyone...

Certainly is, I'm always struggling with the pullouts on my tarp to achieve this...

Think this is it...

There you go...

Yep, one of the good guys...

I've just bought this for £2.99 for my kindle...

Thanks Dehoja!! I'll let you know what I think

Nice trip report. Have to say I've never heard of the thermarest quilt before...

That looks quite good...

Standard channel end you could use to modify no problem. Adding whoopies / webbing wouldn't be too much of a problem for this. Can't really tell too much from the pics.

I know Kirton, my sister in law lived there for a bit until she moved down here...

Also know Coles lane well - we walk the dog down there when we visit and around the fields at the back. The...

Hi Noid,

Another UK hanger here - my in-laws live in Swineshead just down the road from you, so am up that way every now and again.

There are some decent places over here to get hold of the...

Yep - you can move the tarp as you want over the length of the ridge. To be honest, I use it as that's what I've always used.

I always think that it takes a bit of pressure off the tarp as well,...

Hiya Brian,

I have a continuous ridge line set up with my Superfly using a Dutch hook at one end and a tarp flyz at the other. It's 10 metres / 33ft long and uses a pair of nacrabiner prussiks to...

Hi Redwall,

There's a few of us now...

Neil

Hi 2bee,

It's good to see another UK hanger

Neil

Whatever it is it looks like a bargain for $2 a yard - nice find.

Neil

I just received my Jam and normally use a 45L with two 12L side pouches.

I'm away next weekend for a couple of days so am planning to do a trial pack tomorrow to make sure it will all fit!
...

"The" Neil does have a nice ring to it! :D

Thanks for the answer Cannibal, I'll get the thinking cap on...

might have to go all xbox and be "_Neil_"

I take it that it is OK to request a...

Aint that the truth :D

Hi mods,

I want to change my forum username to Neil (my name :D)

But, this is already taken by someone with no posts ever and no visits since July 2009!

Do these zero post accounts get...

Hiya Rich - good to see you here and glad you liked the link...

See you at the March meet?

I've got one of the first run Snugpak ones made originally for a group buy on BCUK before DD started making them.

I've been using it for about 3 years regularly and have taken it down to -8...

LOL!! I know - I tried to think one hammock ahead and get enough for both!:D

Received the package on Friday last week and have already spliced a 10 metre CRL with Dutch hook and Tarp Flyz! Can't wait to try it out...

Awesome! Thanks Dutch...

I just broke my cherry and placed an order with Dutch for the whole set!

1 pair of Dutch clips
1 pair of Dutch buckles
2 Dutch hooks
1 pair of tarp flyz
2 ridgeline biners
4 Quilt hooks

Hiya, I'm from Fareham - just West of Portsmouth. We quite often take a drive over to the Forest for a wander.

Hi Fella,

It's good to see you here - I'm from about half an hour up the road from you!

Neil

Nice one - great trip report and looks like a lovely dinner!

Congratulations on your first solo...

I used an asym for about a year, but just got fed up with having to adjust it for the weather all the time...

They're great if you can predict the weather, which kind of rules out the UK! lol

Cool stuff - cheers Rich.

I'm always happy to wait for the next GB anyway - just make sure i don't miss it!:D

Bugger! I missed the GB too. Did you go direct to Dutch Rich?

:laugh:I don't think you're missing anything - it was a bit of a dumb question, just when I tied a knot it seemed huge

I hadn't thought of wider toggles:rolleyes:

Hi All,

I ordered some 1.5" webbing, and it seems really wide (funnily enough 1.5") :rolleyes:

I'm going to stitch some tree straps and leave one end free to use a marlin spike hitch and my...

Great work - I'm looking at getting hold of some material to make my own too.

Struggling to find sil over here, but am toying with the idea of getting some coated ripstop and making my first one...

Having finished my first sets of whoopies and nacrabiners, I'm moving onto tree huggers...


I can see why it could be satisfying to:

sleep in a homemade hammock
hanging on homemade suspension...

Sweet! Well done fella - it's definitely addictive...

Good stuff - I did wonder if you strapped your camera to your head!

Let us know how she gets on with it...

Neil

Scratch that - I just noticed this...:D

Hippofeet - Are you seriously that bored? lol

You could always send it to me if you don't want it - or you could do a sweepstake with a broken hammock as a prize.

I guess 468lbs and the cordura...

Thanks Hippofeet - It's the black amsteel, which actually looks more like a graphite grey. I quite like it as over in the UK there is more of a reason to use dull colours for a bit of stealth...

Funnily enough I destroyed anything in my shed that had wire in it! I settled on some garden wire with the plastic coating removed, but it was still a little thick for the 7/64 at about 1mm in...

Hi fella,

That's an excellent thing to do! Great looking piece of kit and I'm sure she will appreciate it. Take it from me that it knocks the crap out of most set ups you see over here.

I like...

Thanks Syb - I'm already thinking of adjustable ridgelines...



It honestly took me about 40 mins to make the first one - you definitely need to have a go at these, because if I can do it then...

Hi all,

Further to my nacrabiners earlier, I just made my first whoopie slings :cool:

I was really surprised how easy it was so I hope they will work :lol:

They are black 7/64 amsteel and...

lol I now have four in two colours and some whoopie slings...

too true

Picked up 200 feet of amsteel from the post office yesterday, so spent 20 mins having a play this afternoon...

I made my first nacrabiner using Opie's video...

Nice...

Where'd you get the spin?

Nice one Charlie!

Just thinking I need to have a go at one of those...

that's after the amsteel gets here and I customise my current hammock - added to the DIY list lol

Great video as always Shug! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you...

Hi all,

I'm lucky enough to be coming over to Ontario in October with my wife to stay with some of her relatives.

We've got a pretty packed schedule, but I'm hoping to get a couple of days away...

Perfect...

The unplanned ones always seem to be the most satisfying.

Thanks for sharing
