That's the thing, StraightUpHangin didn't have a UQ at all, and mine wasn't much of one (more of a spring/fall UQ at best), yet I was plenty plenty warm, only my face was cold and that was due to...
thanks, how did u embed?
So StraighUpHangin and I both went on our first winter hang Fri 13th.
Everything went wrong getting to our location. Pulk kept tipping (every 2 steps), packs were suicidal heavy, StraightUpHangin's...
I have 2 parachute hammocks, both are the same company, etc just diff colours. My question/thought was to hang both from the same suspension and then lay a sleeping bag or other such insulator...
I put large Eye bolts into the walls (into studs) in my living room as a way to hang my hammock and test run new gear/ideas/etc in a safe environment.

Nothing wrong with having a fire.
I'm so stoked for this, bro!

I like the idea of this, interested to see how it might progress.
I dont know that just adding a zipper down the middle of side panel would work. What if you had a trap sized in a way to be able to...

Ok, so after reading through the thread, I wonder a couple things.
1) why does the line come from button, rather than the plastic chain link?
2) could you just use a standard washer, or is there...

I really like this, is there a video of it being used etc?
Thanks SCUM for the mention of haning it corner-corner in an asymmetrical fashion. This seems to work much better than hanging from central tie outs. :D
I saw a portable stove today at an outdoors shop. It was about the size of a small ammo can, but it was cast iron. the chimney looked like a car exhaust pipe. I asked how much it was... the stove...

I had a "new" sewing machine given to me. It was able to do all sorts of fancy stitching.

I personally just have a $25 Nylon Parachute Hammock that I purchased from a local hardware store. I find it's a great hammock for the price. In fact, my friend who WAS using a rope hammock, has...
A friend of mine has one of these for backyard lounging.
It's never appealed to me, as I can't see it being overly pleasant for 2 main reasons:
1) the fishnet effect as mentioned by Kayak Karl
2)...
Very good idea, I like that.
Although I'm not opposed to sewing a few grosgrain loops to a sleeping bag for use as an UQ (while not effecting normal sleeping bag use), this is a good way to avoid...
I do like the design of this http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_28928_-1?Ntt=stool&Ntk=All
