You guys live in some beautiful places, what did I do wrong, Oh well, 2 & 1/2 more years to go.
Dang, I sure am glad I stop by here now and then. Too bad it's already raining.
Just one extra 8' strap, my two mains are pretty long.
I'm good for 300' or how ever you want to cut it up.
I practice shelf control. If it don't fit on the shelf I better pass for now. Now we have a new modular shed, I've started shedding my shelf control :)
Size it and put in up on a photo hosting site, either an independent site or from a forum that offers photo hosting albums to members. Just cut and paste the properties hyper link and past it into...
Mine came in Friday, I re-rigged it with the Amsteel Blue, aluminium ring and adjustable ridge line. It seems like a fine hammock, I can actually lay almost perfectly flat in it. I don't have a lot...
I'm trying to figure out how to hang a hammock on my Harley. I was on the Harley when I bought the Eno at the Islamorada Fish Festival.
It's a bit of an optical illusion, I'm 6' when I sit in the hammock it hits me just above my knees. I'm not climbing into it nor squatting down, I like this height.
I remember seeing that, I have a basic idea of what needs to be done. I believe the attachment loom is the top of the gather/knot.
Thanks for the heads up on these. I ordered one just to keep on the Harley. I've got plenty strapping, aluminium toggles and Amsteel to rig it. I'll have my wife run a few extra lines of stitching if...
Yeah and I can stop any time I want :)
I hadn't heard that, last weekend it rained everyday with a couple of good storms rolling in. It stayed dry but as I laid in it watching the rain pour down it was pretty obvious that the "Dryfly"...
Pretty much stock, I acquired the tarp and bug net at the same time but I've had the double nest for a few years. I made up the tree huggers, two sets of 6' and 12' and I made up a couple sets of...
You could use a "Constrictor" knot if you don't have faith in the "Clove Hitch". Tied this way you don't need and end it can be tied on the bite. It is considered a permanent knot but I've always...
The bushcraft guys make a lot of stuff from the 550 with the idea that if push came to shove they would always have 20 or 30 feet of paracord with them. Some of the ideas are wrap a skeletonized...
Thanks, that must be where I found it. I'm familiar with the two strand MW knot. I haven't seen my copy of Ashley's book around. I'll have to locate it, thanks for reminding me.
I don't know if this knot was posted, I learned it as a knife lanyard knot. I put this together for another forum last week.
I can't remember where I found it and I haven't been able to locate it...
Thanks, it was actually a video linked in another forum that brought me here.
I've been going through the video clips and I'm starting to get a handle on the slang and techno speak. Ordered a 100...
Hey Shug, your partially responsible for me coming here, I was linked to one of your videos setting up a hammock in the snow, in what may have been your back yard. It was that rigged whoopee sling...
Thank all, I'm sure that I can tie up a hammock with a multitude of various knots, but I have to admit I would never have come up with that whoopie sling, thats just flat out cool.
The hammock...
Another Harley rider and canoer, craftsman and musician. I used to camp in a hammock many years ago, remember those cheap fish net type hammocks, they kind of cocooned around you but they worked....
