in-tent hammock?

I suppose any existing tents out there would prove difficult to hang from. I would suggest you try a hammock since they are relatively cheap these days. You might not go back to...

Procrastination = Reading this thread instead of working! Yep, I am a procrastinator!

I might fill this out if we could see the results.

Looks awesome!! Have fun making the tarp! Sure you know there's a TON of info here and elsewhere should you need it.

Hey Fronkey, another fan of your videos, and this one's no exception. I personally intend to pack light every time but in reality I don't think I'll ever get to sub 10lbs except maybe on a...

Thanks for the comments everyone! What I meant by nothing special was that I didn't invent some new "whoopie" or a
special knot, or even a "Dutch clip" but instead used the ideas from all of you....

I have been busy with that "work" thing so not much time to spend in the forum but I really want to say thank you to everyone who shares their DIY ideas so I could cheat on my test! :D I have to...

I like green but I picked brown in this case. Why, you ask? Chromotherapy ;)

Ummm, when will the droid version be out? :(

I think I agree that this is a practical approach to consider. The plus is obvious although a tarp doesn't exert anywhere near the pressure a hammock will, it could still cause some damage. The...

Maybe the trees moved in on you over night! :)

Heh, know the feeling!

Not sure though what you don't see regarding SilvrSurfr's description. Basically because of the way whoopies work, getting enough tension on the ridge line is difficult....

Looks interesting, could use some pullouts IMO but not too bad. Just want to make sure... it's this one yes? http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/c....aspx?a=954704 By any chance did you get to weigh...

Not sure but I'm thinking Shug won't win any good hammockkeeping awards! :lol:

Welcome! Looking forward to your hammock gear decisions! Not such a big dude but have a friend who is that I want to get hanging!

Welcome from California!

Welcome and congrats on the WBBB!

Well, all I know is it's better in the dark than black line! Ouch!

Well, good question? I have mine going through the channel. Only hung about 4 times and so far it looks fine. I guess time will tell?

Well, It seems I've done the impossible once again! :) I have a DD Travel Hammock. I replaced the stock suspension with some new straps and whoopies, but other than that it's stock. I was sleeping...

Fell asleep for the third time "testing" my hammock at a local park. Rolled over and BLAM on the ground! Glad I came on here and people said to keep low to the ground while hanging! I was able to put...

Welcome from California

Welcome to HF from California!

Welcome to HF Old Dog!

Welcome! Looks like you got some folks to "hang" with already!

Well, been hanging around (heh!) and even posting some and thought it was about time to introduce myself.

I am a long time backpacker although it's been a few years since I've been out. I have...

Well, this thread is longer than I expected... I mean after all this is a HAMMOCK forum. Truthfully, there are only a couple of reasons I saw here that could be an issue.

No trees - Well, I often...

Looks good. But look up Marlin spike hitch or better yet watch this video. If not, I'm afraid you might have a sore butt!

Yesterday I was at a local park testing out my hammock modded with homemade whoopie slings and just before I fell asleep for 2 hours I was wondering why one wouldn't use it for backpacking? I mean...

Hey, I think D.I.Y. Gear Supply has it! :lol: Thanks everyone!

My Google search didn't turn up anything? Started going through the retailers on their site but after a few product not found results I thought I'd try here. Is it still on the market? If not, any...

Thanks everyone. Now I (and anyone else who has or will wonder) know why the knot and NOT the toggle! :)

Just have to throw in that I ordered from DD and it was in my hands before I could even check the tracking number! How do they do that? Very nice!

I grew up in Manchester, NH. I think the "special air" in the White Mountains should help prolong the life of any hammock! :)

Really, I was wondering the same thing, but I guess it depends on the...

I have looked but can't seem to find out the answer to this obviously very important point everyone seems to make when discussing the use of whoopie slings on a toggle. I'm guessing that it might...

Thanks! I saw them there. Figured I would go to Dutch's site. Now, after going there, guess I'll have to order from both sites! :)

Cracked me up!

Awesome thread! Since it was started so long ago, I wonder if there are any new recommendations?

The Ultimate Budget Setup: Under $50 (Is this even possible now?)

Hammock Setups Under $100

Hmmm, not sure I subscribe to this concept but it is definitely an interesting topic! :)

So I go on over to http://dutchware.outdoortrailgear.com looking for some of the famous Dutch Clips. The clips that are used for hanging tree straps. I see a lot of very cool stuff while there, but...

Yep, welcome! I am very new here but I did like your site. As the others said it would be nice to see longer and wider hammocks available. Bookmarked your site!

A little late to the party but, thanks for the great review! Especially since I'm looking at getting one of these.

In fact that is how I found this place! Great information even though the mans elevator might not go all the way to the top if you know what I mean! :laugh: Really though, he did make learning...

Nice! Not 400lbs, but I do like that it's longer and lighter! Thanks! I did notice, no reviews... and are those steel beiners? No biggie, planning on modding the suspension anyway but just saying......

Thanks Boomer! I already have a Thermarest NeoAir and a Prolite. was thinking the prolite (moslty deflated) for the R factor even though it is heavier? But I was going to try both out before I go.

Hi, another noob wantin to try some backpack hanging. Normally I use a Bivy, a good mat and ground tarp to sleep, so I guess I do like to go as light as possible. Except when my woman comes then all...
