Nice one, thanks for the heads-up!

I've used mine down to about -6C (~20F) but as others have said, it's bulky and real pain to get into in a hammock. It's doable but expect lots of wriggling to get everything lined up. While the...

Another happy Frontline user here, in fact it's my preferred hammock. I', 5'10 and it fits me perfectly. As for build quality, can't fault it and the bugnet does a great job too.

Every now an...

I'm not sure whether I should be ashamed or not: just spend 10 minutes browsing through various 4x4 and tracked wheelchair options :rolleyes:

Crazy work, fantastic. Does this mean I can stop trying to find the ultimate lightweight setup?

You know what? I've never had to think about it before now. I just lift both feet and swing out to one side or the other, as the feet swing I tend to end up sitting more or less upright and ready...

Hey Browny. I've bought a fair bit of the parachute fabric from English Sea Dog and been quite happy with the service. Emails where handled swiftly so I'm surprised you've not heard back yet. If...

Pretty much Rich. I'm using some breathable parachute fabric which firstly cuts out a lot of the wind issues and also gives the dew/condensation something to bind to instead of your quilt. You...

I use Marlow Excel D12 which is readily available throughout the EU. It's still quite expensive but less so if you can find it on mini-reels - about £0.80/metre

The only thing you might need is some climbing tape to replace the stock DD tapes - they may have changed them since but I found mine to be quite stretchy. A pair of lightweight carabiners may also...

Bad news on the Pertex front, it's getting quite hard to find over here too - certainly at a decent price. Some of you probably know the original mill has hit hard times and the Pertex brand is now...

Sourcing materials isn't an issue, there are plenty of us makers over here. The issue is that some of the things Shewie ordered were items developed by other users of this forum. While running a...

Rich, mind dropping me a line when you find out? I've been looking for a pair myself and am happy to split postage costs.

I've used Thinsulate in a quilt before now but be advised, it does not compress well. For the bulk and weight you can get much better performance from other materials.

I got mine from:

Delivery may take a short time but they're reliable.

I use Marlow Excel D12 for mine, usually from http://www.jimmygreen.co.uk/dinghy-ropes-rigging/dinghy-control-lines. They're easy enough to make but may be able to help you out if you have trouble

Hi Ursule. The Decathlon Tarp was the first I ever bought. I've since moved on to a DIY hex tarp but the Decathlon still makes an excellent backup. With regards to hanging diagonally, you...

That's probably why so many of us make our own. You can pick up a sewing machine for next to nothing and with a bit of patience and fore-thought even someone like me can come up with a decent...
