I sleep in a DIY hammock, indoors, every night with an electric blanket hung under it like an underquilt. It works great, but your greatest challenge will be a power supply.

Hi from Sitka Ak, I have been hanging indoors full time for over a year. Intended to sleep out this past summer but it was the worst summer in 40 years, wet, cloudy and cool. Never quite got around...

Full time for about 18 months, used to refer to the bed as the torture rack. No more sore back or restless leg syndrome.

Sorry you had a rough night, I had exactly the same experience at first. I was a side sleeper, restless all night, couldn't sleep on my back. I set up indoors, and started napping in it during the...

Great job! I wanted to see if a Super Shelter was a viable option for my Hennessy, so I did essentially the same thing with a parachute cloth. channel end hammock . Minus the magnets. It worked so...

Here is a link to an old thred about doing the same thing.

I did exactly what you propose, Used a channel end hammock with bungee cord through the channel for suspension clipped to mitten hooks on the main hammock suspension. I slept in my Hennessy all...

Speedy stitchers are a great tool, Wouldn't be without one. If you want one for smaller work make an egg shaped handle out of hard wood, drill a hole in the small end, that is a tight fit for a...

I also hang from 3/8 eye bolts in the wall studs. My room is 12 ft wide. It's working great for me, with no wall damage. I used the hammock hang calculator here: ...

Yah I'm looking for an adapter to currant bushes

I used it again last night and it worked great.

Was poking around in a second hand store yesterday and found a brand new twin size electric blanket for five bucks! I snapped it up, took it home and rigged up a crude under quilt by folding it in...

It is made of Dyneema but without the coating that Amstel has, Also smallest dia is 1/8 with 1800 lb breaking strength. If I had used the correct bury it would have held just fine. I spaced out and...

Too all you noobie splicers, I want to share an experience I had several days ago. I was experimenting with the truckers hitch suspension, and wanted to make a short line to larks head to each end of...

Thanks to the people who moderate this fourm, and thanks to all who share their knowledge and experience. This is the frendlyest fourm I have ever participated in,

Seems to work best if the quilt can slide on the suspension, if you fasten the suspension to the corners of the quilt you will spend lots of time adjusting it. If it slides on the bungees you can...

These people have lots of tins, price is good but shipping is high.

This works best if you run bungee through the loops or a channel sewn in the edge of the quilt to the suspension on either end of the hammock. the streachyness helps keep the quilt against your body,...

I haven't had much problem with the bag moving, It took a bit of tinkering at first to get the tension right. My outer hammock has a channel sewn in the ends and I used a piece of 1/8 bungee cord...

I'm using a second, parachute nylon, gathered end hammock, slung under my Hennessy with a folded sleeping bag sandwiched between. Works great down to about 50. Once the second hammock is adjusted it...

New hammock user here, discovered hanging watching Tinny at minibull design. That led me to Shug's videos and ultimately here. I have since infected two of my friends who have also bought hammocks....

I just use 4 clothes pins, the spring type. to clip the space blanket to the under quilt supports. really makes a difference!
