I'll be keeping an eye on the forum for info., but think that editing the original post on the first page with the coords/directions and topos whatever site would be perfect if possible.

Also, I...

Has anyone tried this yet? I like the idea, but I can't for the life of me imagine how you can pull the overlapped bugnet side closed (or, over the ridgeline anyway.) You won't be able to get at that...

Just wanted to add my 2 pence on the DIY method. It works great, but for the second time now, my cheap arse walmart bought sponge brushes lost the head (brush part) in the mixture. Could be that I...

Saw a modern marvels the other day on rope and they focused a bit on samson. Thought it was cool. They hold the oldest trademark in the US, i guess. Just a cool little bit of classic modern marvels...

Nice to see a fellow Valporaisian or Valpo Raisin or ValpoIte on the site. Especially one with good info. I just finished my DIY blackbird if you are ever up for a hang.

So, just out of curiosity. How did the tears form? I'm just about done with a DIY hammock. Attaching the noseeum now. Anyway, I am a bit worried about the noseeum where it forms the top part of the...

I'm using this for my hammock and what you described is exactly the way I have used it. In a wind, it's almost comical to watch. I think I would like skins more than this, but it's what I had on hand...

Hmmm, I may have to....save some cash on amsteel while I'm at it. This post made me think about another question I had while doing a test hang in the cold today.

First, setting up in a high wind...

I ended up burning a hole and used some silicone around it just to stop fraying a bit more. Then, I cut out a ~2"x~3" piece of ripstop that I rolled into a tube. Stuck that through the little burn...

I'm liking the figure 8 or the velcro... With either, I should be able to use it to secure the adj. loop to the marlin hitch on any wide hangs.

Although... still
....lol on the comments about my...

So, I love my whoopies, but I made the adjustable loop quite long. So, when I find two trees close to each other, the loose ends of the whoopies are like 15 feet long. I know I can wrap them around...

Thanks, that's about what I had in mind. I need to make the shelf side a bit longer and I planned on nipping a bit from each angle. But, ....

Again, thinking...perhaps not too well, I went out and...

I just really want to ask about the pattern again. Is the last picture, the way it should attach? Really wish I had a WBBB around here so I could take a peak at it. Can't seem to get a good image of...

Thanks for the reply. You got me thinking (finally), so I went and did some measurements. My finished full length after the rollover for the whipping is only 113". Recently bought a hemmer foot, so...

So, my WBBB DIY had its first test hang today and I'm worried about the stresses on the footbox/shelf side. First build and I've never seen a WBBB, so I had a hard time really understanding the...

Hey all, I wanted to send a few shoutouts to this forum. Incredible amount of information and just way too cool. I'm in the midst of making a hammock and tarp setup at the moment that would never...

Yeh, I did all the stitching on a really old singer from 1956 and I couldn't find any hemmer presser feet. Doing it by hand, it just made sense to do 1/2" hems and lose 1" of fabric. Just didn't...

Hello all. Found this site and decided to give this a go, because a hammock sounds so much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground during a bike trip up the west coast of Lake Michigan this...
