Great review...
Cold nights are ones you'll remember forever. I've got a hiking trip I did with my brother that we'll never forget. Lesson learned a long time ago: Check the weather report the...
I've got several.
Had bears on two different trips to New Mexico in Cimarron Canyon. One trip, the group next to us left food out in plastic containers:rolleyes:. Its tough to sleep at 4:00 am...
You guys have a good time. I'll be thinking about you while I'm doing yard work / honeydo's tomorrow.
I had a net hammock as a kid and loved it but trees in West Texas were scarce. Mostly hung in the backayard from an old swing set. Moved to the Houston area in '89 and got into hiking/camping.
I...
I know what you mean and it's one of the reasons I haven't taken her out yet. Getting my wife to go along is like pulling chicken's teeth. I've tried to get friends to go but it seems they just...
I'm wanting to get my little one out for an overnighter as well. Mom isn't too enthusiastic about the two of us going alone. My daughter is 2 1/2.
If I uploaded it correctly, she's the little...
They probably had no choice. I've been out at Pedernales Falls (central Texas) in clearish skies when the flood sirens go off from rain up north. Scurry up the ridge line to camp and within minutes...
Update: Just added the 67" width fabric.
54" Wide Fabric Cat Tarp Template - 11' ridgeline
62" Wide Fabric Cat Tarp Template - 12' ridgeline
65" Wide Fabric Cat Tarp Template - 12' ridgeline...
Hmmm, I'll have to check that out.
Did you guys decide on an alternate location?
Kelly's pond hasn't been free for a couple of years now. I think it's like $3-$5 bucks per vehicle. I've heard they have spigots now for water. It's quite a bit different than what Kelly's Pond...
Click on link below (or see page 6 of this thread) for a compiled set I put together of drawings for cat cuts. I had problems with the spreadsheet as well and decided to draw them up. Angrysparrow...
Looks like your feet were pretty beat up after that. That's big miles for one day.
Out of curiosity, what footwear were you using (shoes, socks, liners)? Would you change your foot gear if you...
I believe that the top thread on the stitch is actually fed from the bobbin. I would say you need to adjust the bobbin tension.
Disclaimer. I'm far from an expert but from what I understand, you...
The OD netting from Hanckocks is what I picked up for my HH clone. It is a little heavy.
This thread needs more bump.:)
+1 on the t-shirt.
Jaxhiker, a pink machine? I'm cool with the guys using the power thread injector and all, but a pink machine is pushing it.
Thats funny that you were sewing circles around...
So.......back to the original thread. If HH are made in China (which I'm pretty sure they are), why the heck are they so expensive?
I noticed that yesterday too. It must have been in the last week or two BC a few weeks ago it was 5 and change I think.
I'm butt hurt now.......:( Just kidding.
Cavediver, I'd bet you and I would get along great. Seriously.....
I agree with your ideaology whole heartedly and I do make a strong effort to buy...
IM on the way.
I never understood how anyone could patent a rectangular piece of fabric with hemmed edges and bug netting sewed on or a ridgeline (a piece of rope).
I maybe can understand the bottom entry...
Just make sure your print scale is set to 100%. I would also recommend checking the overall length of the taped together cat curve against the drawing to make sure you printer hasn't scewed the...
IMO, jump right in with the black cat. You'll have someone there to help.
If you do, check out the newer Black Cat thread (the re-post) in the "Documentations & Directions" forum. I've added...
I scored some of the same thing at Wally World by my mother-in-law's house. It's pretty heavy and I agree with Mrprez, the rip-stop isn't true rip-stop. I'm pretty sure it's nylon.
I'm thinking...
That's awesome. Welcome everyone.
Ask and you shal receive.

What width fabric would you like to see?

Consider this thread a place holder for it.
I didn't get the zippers or netting on yesterday as my wife is sick so my daughter and I went running around to give her a break. I went looking for...
Just strung up the HH clone (not really a HH clone yet) for my first test hang as well as my first hang ever. Sweet.....:D
It's not done yet but I got it to a point that I could hang in it and...
I looged in this morning thinkink that I'd have the banner. :(
My payment still shows pending on my account. Maybe Monday...
Let me know how it works for you. If you can see anywhere improvements would benifit, I'm open to suggestions.
Welcome to the forum Stonecold!!
I just ponied up the 10 duckats. Said it will take 24 hours to confirm.:)
68" templates added above. I'm going to try to get 65" done in the near future for Speer's sil.
Thanks Angrysparrow!
You guys take a look at it and let me know what you think about it.
OK, here are the drawings for the 62" & 68" wide fabric printable on 8.5x11 paper. Make sure you have your printer set to 100% when printing the templates (not fit to page).
Experienced guys,...
I have the same problem with both spreadsheets. I get a compilation error when I hit "feed the cat". It doesn't work for me.
What width fabric are you trying to use? I'm working on something...
Seattlemarine.net has the Amsteel Blue for 24 cents/ft. I just ordered 60 ft for 22 bucks shipped.
Shipping was a little steep at $6 and change.
Welcome home Jeff and thanks for your service!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has thought about this. Maybe I'm not such a weirdo after all.
Will Excel Racing 3mm Double braid SK-75 Dyneema core line work for suspension lines with ring buckles?

Well said.
I've been lurking for about a year but I'm in the process of building my first two hammocks (one for me and one for the wife) based on HC4U's HH clone instructions.
No, but I've been experimenting with a hammock made from dark matter. I first had to prove the existance of dark matter but that was easy.
Now, let me tell you, packing the dark matter hammocks...
Can anyone give any input on 550 cord? I asked earlier in this thread but no one responded. Didn't want to waste a new topic since whipping material is covered here.
I've got some 550 laying...
Nice.....let us know how the sprinkler test comes out.
What's the final weight?
I couldn't have said it better myself.
I hit two other Walmarts on the way home yesterday with no luck. Not even any camo rip stop.
