An easy way would be to just get some threaded rod at a hardware store and bend it around a form (perhaps a tree?) :eek: of the right size. Some rubber tubing over the middle threads would ease the...
Amazon sells this if you want it in narrower widths, like 24".

Hey oneonone:) What kind of wood is that log? Or will any wood log do?
Thanks,
Peter
Thank you for the tip :) I just did that I think. Mostly I have been on here to learn stuff (great place to do that) and I got hooked on the TD stand idea, but thought that aluminum could be left...
A while ago I acquired 16 of those used military 4 foot aluminum poles that slide together, with a bag. I had planned to use them for a hammock stand, but my arms are getting weaker and weaker....

I got it as my wallpaper :) Great Picture! Hope nobody minds :)
Another thought I had was.... why is that tent there in a hangin' camp??
Inquiring minds need to know:confused:
Peter
swamp coolers! Yup... too humid in FL for them :) Work great in the southwest though!
Dry heat??:lol:
Glad to see you are on the mend and posting here again Skypainter. I am still wishing I made the trip, even for one night. However, all the parts i am accumulating to make things for hangin are still...
"Ug now im really irritated. Mandatory overtime and vacation freeze. I will not beable to attend. Was really looking forward to this one. Ive been building a super shelter to lug over. Made this to...
Sorry guys, I am not going to make this hang :(
Came down with a life altering illness and will be doing treatments for the foreseeable future. Was really looking forward to meeting you all too....
I just found this thread and need to comment.
Has anyone tried coating the grip with contact cement or rubber cement? I suspect either one would work well if allowed to dry completely.
Rubber...
I like lashing :) I will do that! Until I come up with something easier (that may be a while) Thank you all for the input. :)
Hmmm.... another thought... when you are finished using them ............ the going price of scrap aluminum is usually a bit higher than than the price of scrap 2 by's :) But I'll probably pass...
Great idea, those snap buttons :)
How are some ways to lash these aluminum poles together at the top of the tripod?? :confused:
The TD stand uses a hinge when using wood for structure, but I...
My aluminum poles just arrived!
Could not be happier :)
Just the same as all the pics of military poles.
Will make a wonderful portable hammock stand, but I think the total weight is more than 25...
Congrats on the purchase! Where'd you get that deal? I'm really tempted for car camping to have the 4' lengths...
I found this about a month ago in this thread I think, cut and pasted it and...
My aluminum military poles will be delivered tomorrow :) 16 of them, to duplicate what someone else on this forum has done (maybe several of you).
I like the idea of eight foot poles for the stand,...
Ok, i am only 6'4" and 230 or so, but I was wondering... how high do you folks have your tarp over these hammocks? Seems like for me, I would like to be able to walk up to my hammock, get in and get...
The Baffin's have a size that fit me :) and the Sierra's do not! :(
Better price also:cool:
Thank you fishbait :)
I looked on the arrowhead site and found my size with extra down for $65.00, but they still wanted almost $16.00 to ship. EEK!
Not sure 80 bucks will give that much more satisfaction than the...

So I replaced the straps in my DN with amstell and a ring, now I get to take that out and use a Carabiner. Yup, this hammocking is a bit costly, but sure is fun though :)
Pretty soon I will be...
The picture looks good to me, and great find!
Have you tried it yet?
Have you also tried spreader bars as a comparison?
This carabiner seems like the easiest most convenient method for sure....
Great site and thanks for taking the video. Can't wait!
Just found this thread! :)
Sounds great!
I am a total newbie also. Have been collecting bits and pieces for the "ultimate" hang. So far I have en ENO DN, and material to make a tarp. Amsteel for...
Hello 2.ooohhh
I am very impressed with your write up on hanging with your Kelty poles.
These poles are on sale now: http://www.sunnysports.com/Prod/KLTAP.html

Love it with round poles :)
Very very NICE set up :)
Thank you for the pictures.
Follow up: Just wanted you to know this about that tubing. The clearance is only a few thousandths of an inch, and if you get any deformity or dirt on them at all they may just lock together and not...
:) I found this magnetic calculator online, and it is great for figuring out strengths of magnets. :D

And, just for a guess -...
Thank you for the generous reply.
It IS starting to make sense now :)
Can't seem to get my head around this. You made the second layer the same size as the hammock? Same width?
Okay, so when you sleep on the diagonal, how does this affect the under quilt? or is the...
Just sign up for TF's newsletter and they come out with free shipping often.
Also they let you know on the sales they have. Save some buck that way for sure.
Peter
Some questions.
How thick are the magnets you got from HFT? I got some a while ago that claimed to be 1/8 thick and they were :)
Then they changed the magnets to 1/16 thick and did not change the...
Great idea on Mag-Lev.
My daughter works in an MRI lab and she got home early because the machine broke! Soooo... maybe I can get the broke machine's magnet for cheap and rig something up :)
I...
I like the mini spreader bar through the hammock end channel the best :)
What if you rounded the corners on some square wood stock (or some half round), use it inside the channel and use another...
I am really luvin this design.:D
I am definitely going to upgrade my ENO Doublenest with magnets and a tablecloth. :):)
Thank you for a great idea :)
Thank you for the quick reply Ohiohiker :)
This info helps a lot.
