Very helpful! Thanks for the link.
That drove me nuts with my ENO too. I'm 5'7'' so I'm going to give 60" a try first. Thanks for info! Gives me somewhere to start.
This is a great idea! Thanks for all the manufacturer info... Should have thought of that one.
I've made hammocks in the past but this nylon I purchased is much wider than any I've ever used. In...
I scored a great piece of nylon but it's extremely wide. I used zip ties to test out some lengths and found a sweet spot, but there is a lot of fabric "unused" in it's width. Is there a standard out...
This is great news!! We've tented with him and he was a squirming machine. I'm hoping hammocks have the same effect on him. Thanks for the reply!
I have experience with 2 child carriers. Most of my milage is walking the park closest to our house, which happends to be an old volcano. I walk to the top at least 3x per week with him on my back so...
That's a good call on the outfit. If he some how squirms away from the top quilt he'll be warm. Thanks!
The wife and I are going to give it a shot with the little guy. We've planned a very short, close to the car backpacking "trip" (jaunt is maybe a better word) to try backpacking hammock style with...
Genius! Thanks to you both!:)

Time for DIY hammock version 2.0. I'm convinced I made my hammock too short and I was limited by Joanne Fabrics 3' wide bolts of nylon. But I recieved some new material in the mail yesterday that is...
I got cash to buy the 1.7 off you! I'll wait a couple days before ordering from Brandon so I can help you out if the opportunity arises. I'm not in a rush for the BB so I'm happy to wait.
I'll buy the 1.7!
Not sure if that helps but I was gonig to pull the trigger and order one and then I saw this. Let me know if that interests you otherwise I'm just going to order from Brandon.
Yeah. I bought 3 yards from Joanne's and then put a channel on each end, gathered and whipped it. I'm 5'7". I think it's smaller than most but after a lot of experimenting I love it.
I live in my Five Fingers! Thanks so much for posting this. I had no idea they made wool covered ones. I was just thinking about how to DIY some hobbit feet covers for my Five Fingers, but I'll just...
Looking for a full length under quilt. Perfer 3 season but interested in winter also. Got the funds ready!!
I've slept in my DIY hammock everynight for the last 3 months. I took a week of fiddling with my ridge line to find the right tension so I could sleep in the fetal position. It's the most comfortable...
Big thanks to everyone!
I just order the Kelty Noah 9. I realized my nephew is coming to visit this spring and wants to join me for backpacking so I will need a tarp for him. I figured get the...
For what it's worth... I sleep in my hammock full time (don't even own a bed) and I prefer the small hammocks. I started with ENO singlenest but decided to DIY a gathered end hammock and found it...
Thanks for the very fast help! This is sooooooooo helpful you wouldn't believe. I've been agonizing over this for too long.
Considering the Superfly is out of stock that takes it out of the...
rae-rae, did you add the pull-outs yourself?
Wags, Good call on the beak!! I like that idea a lot!
**Sorry if this has been posted twice. I'm a noob** :rolleyes:
I'm need of advice from folks who have actually hung in the woods. Although I'm new to hammocks as of October, I have been sleeping...
I'm need of advice from folks who have actually hung in the woods. Although I'm new to hammocks as of October, I have been sleeping in my DIY hammock with a Stormcrow underquilt for 3 months straight...
I'm sans winter gear :( But I'm working on it! Have a baby on the way and it's making it difficult to justify under quilt purchases. I'll stay in the loop though!
Very helpful. Thanks!:)
Thanks Brian,
I wanted to experiment before spending the money on a "real" ridgeline. Good to know about the stretch. Thanks again!

Noob question here… I have a DIY hammock and now want to start experimenting with a ridgeline. I've read that the ridgeline does not support your weight. So can I use something not very strong like...
Another post of gratitude! I'm new to the forums and I just finished my first DIY hammock thanks to your video! I'm also going to experiment with the long side dimensions to find a side tension I...
'm brand knew here but I have a lot of experience with Reflectix having installed it in a few yurts.
So we loose heat in a few big ways when we're out there sleeping away in our slings of pure...
