I’ve been absent from the forum for a while, about 2.5 years, actually. I’m back and because of an upcoming car camping trip to a location that doesn’t allow anything to be attached to trees, I’ve...

I want one too! Is there another thread or reference to this beast. As noted, I also see a stove jack in that far corner and some serious winter luxury.

Kenosha isn't too far, and I might have to look closer at that area. I've done segment 5 "backwards" from Kenosha, but not 6. The aspen forests on 5 are spectacular. Lots of good hanging spots along...

So I have a couple days off this week and I decided to take a quick overnight with my wife at White Ranch. She picked up a site reservation yesterday while I was at work. Spot 20, one of my...

You'll never be happier than when hanging in your DIY hammock, under your DIY tarp, with your DIY UQ!

This tarp is beautiful. Love the bright popping color! I don't want to high jack this thread, but I have the same question...what are the pros/cons of different ridge line seam types? I have all...

I watch several YouTube videos and then just practiced. It's a matter of getting "roll" started and then feeding evenly. https://youtu.be/GdDysubNrdM

I think the OP is comparing a very narrow rolled hem like that made with a rolled hem foot to a wider folded, rolled hem. Basically the same thing just different width. I think strength and finished...

I like "Addiction" as well, but I think we've discussed this before and "A Shug of Hammocks" seemed to be a clear favorite. Am I remembering this correctly?

PS, I found the previous post,...

Lived and hiked here in Colorado for almost 20 years. Me nor the dogs have ever had a tick, that I know of. Mossie's can be bad during day depending on your proximity to water, but I generally don't...

The GoalZero def looks higher quality and more durable, but alas I now live in Colorado and keeping cool at night is something that is a memory or me and the wife camping when we lived back in...

To me, zippers are still daunting. Some day I will face this fear head on and get over it. There just seems to be so much that can go wrong! There must some official phobia that is fear of working...

I just received a rolled hem foot and have been playing with it. Planning my first DIY tarp soon. I appreciate all the comments on this thread.

I find with the thinner fabrics we often work with I have really help the feed along by hand when I reverse and then go forward again to get the lock stitch without everything bunching up. I have a...

+1 for R&D

I agree with most that it won't work, but without data we know nothing!

Looks REALLY nice. Excellent work.

I added 6 in side panels to three HyperD hammocks I made as gifts. They were all Crimson with woodland camo sides. I used flat felled seams. They were beautiful and very comfortable, but sewing those...

You are already better off than I was. You found Hammock Forums before you made a hammock purchase. I bought an ENO DN and Altas straps initially, THEN I found HF. Don't get me wrong, the ENO and...

OMGosh that was funny!

Must order more Dutch bling and a Shug t-shirt...and maybe another sticker from each.

Good scissors, one small for cutting thread and one large for fabric are a must. A self healing mat plus rotary cutter are very nice and I think worth the $.

I'm a definite maybe. I put it on my calendar but prob won't know till last minute. No firm conflicts, but I can't totally commit. Maybe some of the previous White Ranch crew can join us as well....

I'm in for one! Post details when they go on sale.

Ask around with friends or even friend's families. There is very likely an old machine in a closet collecting dust. "Belonged to so-and-so's grandmother and I got it 5 yrs ago." Second best option is...

Can't remember where I read it, maybe backpackinglight, but sounds like a good idea. Single loop of guy line around stick or rock that you bury in snow. Bring working end out of snow and tie a...

+1 What Dutch said.

I love the Fleaz on a small continuous loop that are now larksheaded to my tarp. Pieces of zingit now attached to stakes stay there. Stakes don't get lost and knotless...

Anybody made plans for an Oct date?

Loved episode 0 and 1! Nice job guys and thanks for taking the time to do this.

Subscribed. Listened. Loved it. Thanks.

Looking good for me! Prob grab a parking pass if there are any left. Planning for 4-5 pm.

Be careful to check those carabiners. I think the metal on the anchors is much harder than that of the light weight biner and might gouge the inner surface. Over a lot of hang time it may show some...

If we had something like 2 in mule tape seems it would be ideal. Super wide, super strong, and super light! Anyone ever try to sew two pieces side by side?

Pencil me in as tentative.

I agree. I'm new to hanging but have tent camped at White Ranch many times. Seems like a great choice. Close by for many people, short walk, precut firewood, great views of the city lights while...

I'm in Golden and have just recently started hanging in an ENO dn. Very interested in attending a group hang to see other people's kit. Anyone know of an local events planned. Seems like a lot of...
