Brian- thanks for chiming in. I was the dude that emailed you a few days looking for a tarp to be air FedEx'd (a tarp emergency...imagine that...)

I'll place an order soon and don't mind waiting...

Replace the stones with wooden beads and you'll save a few grams!

I should've mentioned body size: 5'11, 185.

What's a UCR? I've searched and see people saying they are using it, but haven't seen anyone mention what it actually is.

I just cut my fabric. It...

Zing it can also be found at www.wesspur.com and many other arborist supply stores.

(how do I embed a vid on this site?)

Hey everyone, I've been following along your site for a couple months now. I love it. Every time I read a post, it makes me look more and more disappointingly at my own setup that I've been using...

Well I'll be gall-darned!!!! Here I am hoping to glean what I can before I start making my new hammock, and I see a reference to my own website!!! :lol:

So cool. I love it. Glad the video is...

One day the fates will bestow upon me the greatness of this gift!!

Do you guys mind teaching a newbie? Cuben is polyester or nylon? I know that you get a lot less stretch/sag in polyester and that it doesn't absorb water like nylon...

What is Spinn? I'm...

It is recommended that you don't knot dyneema and other high-mod lines. What it boils down to is that they are just too slippery to hold a knot. Tina, we're gonna have to teach you how to splice an...

It is with great humbleness that I respond to this thread. I have been splicing rigging and climbing ropes for arborists and tree climbers around the world for about a decade now. I consider myself...

Me too, me too! Send it back to California!!!!

I know that on a molecular level, dyneema (aka spectra aka UHMWPE) is super smooth and slippery. I am sure that is what prevents the dye from sticking well. It has a specific gravity of about 0.98,...

An alternative would be to use a non-dyed rope with similar characteristics. Vectrus by Yale Cordage would be a good option. It won't change the colors of your hands, is crazy strong, and has that...

Practically none. At breaking strength there is 1-2% of stretch in the rope. Compare that to approx 30% for similarly braided nylon cords when pushed to their breaking strength.

Ironically, for...

What is the rope and what is the webbing. There is definitely ways to make this work that don't involve loops at the end.

My first guess would be a insert the rope into the webbing then apply two...

So I've been hammock camping for years now, but just recently found your site. (like....yesterday)

What is the point of the SRL? Could you point me to a youtube vid?

After perusing this site, I can see that I have a LOT to learn about hammocking.

I'll be starting a thread soon on some questions I have, but for now I'm happy to be reading all this fun stuff!...

Hey everyone! Okay- I have to admit. I am AMAZED that there is a whole forum dedicated to hammocking and that there is SO much info contained here. It's amazzzzzzing!!!

I am a rope splicer and...
