At the moment I just use a doubled piece of painting foil. When it gets a hole I just put some tape on it. I also use it as a picknick blanket for breaks when I am too lazy to hang up the hammock and...

June 5th 2013, Sauerland, near the trail Sauerland-Höhenflug, Germany.
Tarp and bugnet were not necessary these nights. My Sleeping bag was to warm,...
Maybe the taped part of the splice wasn´t milked enough. With the new stitching it seems to hold even after some light falling in the hammock.
On a trip few weeks ago the stitching of one fixed loop of my UCR broke a bit. I stitched this one with cotton fiber, the other Polyester stitching hold well. I didn´t have a spare UCR with me but...
I was in an hardwear store today and saw some 1" polyester webbing with a Lashing Capacity (LC) rating of 900 lbs (400kg). Is this enough strength?
OK, thank you very much for killing my worries. I guess I won´t fall off the trees. :rolleyes:

Hi,
I am just wondering which type of cord I should use for the ridgeline to attach the tarp. So what do you use?
And by the way which material is good for making a UCR for an extra...
I don´t want to sew a SPE-sleeve, so I need an other solution to get the eva foam pads together.
Do you have any long time experience with the duct taped wings?
I just made two 10 foot (3m) straps with the 50 mm PP. They are kind of bulky and they weigh 0,5 lbs (207 g) which seems to be a bit to much because I like to carry a light backpack.
Maybe I should...
Hi,
I have 50 mm and 20 mm wide straps here and now I ask myself which width should I use for tree hugger straps for my hammock?
Which width do you use?
Which width is enough?
