I haven't tried this yet but am curious--How about using those spiral stainless twist-in stakes usually used for dogs' leashes? Maybe several could be used to guy up a hammock w/out trees. Hmmmm...

Europe in general is v. densely built-up, and you'll need to find some greenbelt where you won't be bothered. I've stealth camped with a hammock outside Amsterdam for up to 2 months at a time, and...

Actually i was thinking of coming over this year with my hammock + folding bike to camp out in Spaarnwoude (or maybe not quite that far from A'dam). I prefer the cold weather as there are less people...

Thanks, NC, if you say it's not breathable then there goes that brainstorm. What i originally meant was sewing an oblong tube of tyvek and copying the hennessey from there--adding the internal...

Hi. I'm kind of a klutz with forums and hope this post will end up in "fabrics".....There's no available Tyvek where i live (mailing it on ebay is expensive). Does anyone know if Tyvek is suitable...

Are the clew ropes just twisted, or tangled? I've untangled them by putting a wide obj. in the hammock to spread it out, then detach one hook. Pass the free hook back thru the widest hole (closest to...

No, Vitalmaltz, not a problem....the coat is sandwiched between you and the pads wh. are against the hammock. Or, putting it another way, the pads are sandwiched between the hammock below and the...

But that's the problem... i live in Thailand and can't find anything that exotic.

This January I went hanging in Europe as i couldn't afford hotels. The weather was barely freezing with mucho exits from the warm and cuddly to go out and pee. But the in and out got easy with the...

Does anyone know if it's possible to squeeze silicone sealant from a tube, thin it with, say, gasoline or diesel, then paint brush it onto nylon as a waterproofer?

I go a cheaper route--save up the plastic balls from rollon deodorant bottles or a ping pong ball. Bunch the fabric around the ball, tie around the base (2 round turns + 2 half hitches) with a short...

I'm a newbie with a problem unmentioned elsewhere--(maybe i don't know my way around the forum?)

Maybe it's the nylon rope, but at abt. 190 lbs., five minutes in a hammock renders the hugger and...

Pad slippage is unacceptable in freezing weather, esp. when you have to climb out several times per night to pee. So finally I broke down and bought a second hammock, hung it right below the main one...
