I made an under quilt from a poncho liner, very simple process, I folded it to 3.5 x 5 and sewed a pocket on each of the 5 foot sides and added shock cord. Also made a top quilt from a poncho liner...
Head south, like south MS, south AL, North FL. You may have a few cold days, but it will most likely be 80 on Christmas Day.
How do you scratch?
I used one 4 x 4 post and put an eye bolt in the side of my shed. The post is 16' from the shed. I have a 12" tarp so it allows 2 feet extra on each end. The post is 10' long with 3.5 feet in the...
Yep, 7/64th amsteel has a 1400 pound break strength vs Zing-it at 400 pounds, I like the extra 1000 pounds of Widow Maker protection. Of course with the tarp line I am up to 2,800 pounds of...
Back when i was a mean little kid, we would tie a few short piece of uncoated bank line on a 1/2" or larger nut, fray the ends of the line and toss it up around a street light. The bats think it is...
I was going to change my WBBB ridge line to zing-it or something lighter weight, but I have reconsidered. In fact I am changing my tarp ridge line to amsteel. I think it is worth the extra weight...
I was scouting around the neighborhood for a good spot to hang. The best spot I found was down by the lake. there are two good sized oaks about 18 feet apart and only a little brush in the way. I...
Stay on this site and search for a few youtube vids, you will figure it out and learn a lot more as well.
You are a "stand-up guy", Thanks,
PS. feel free to jump in on any of WTB that I post, if you will buy it and send it to me for free. hahahaha
The Skeeter Beater Pro is also a starter hammock, but the resale value is in the 30 to 40 dollar range so most people, me included, keep them as a backup or loaner. Hennessy on the other hand is a...
Yep, ole Shug has caused me to spend a lot. WBBB, Hennessy Hex, UQ, TQ, Whoopies x 2, etc. But guess what, all of Shug's information was good and I only had to buy once. Thanks Shug.
I made the PLTQ 7' x 30" with the foot pocket seamed up about 24". The PLUQ is folded the other way to make a 5' x 3.5' doubled. I am still tinkering with the suspension but i think it will work. ...
wow, I am responsible for 8/10,000 of that, haha Congratulations Dutch.
If I were buying today, the Arrowhead Equipment Toxaway would bet a close look. It is about the size of a Hennessy Hex, weight is very low at 14 oz and it is on sale now for $80.00.
We know very little about it as our supplier told us it was a one off special.
If the supplier knows little about the material, how could any of the forum members know anything about it?
I got the Hennessy Hex Poly, it is about $60.00, the silnylon version is lighter but about twice the price.
I stitched mine together a few weeks ago but did not have time to do any setup before surgery. I am getting around pretty good for the 3rd week after total hip replacement. I will drag it out...
It is very simple, at age 61 with a titanium/crosslinked poly hip joint, bad back, and a touch of arthritis, I can't carry enough "stuff" to be comfortable on the ground. The WBBB only weighs a few...
Yep, me too.
Down here in the "rain belt" it is a good idea to keep your tarp on top so it can be put up first. I am making snake skin type sleeves out of mosquito netting for my tarp. The snake skins work well...
Thanks, great article
I had about the same issues to workout before purchase. I had/have a Skeeter Beater Pro and 10'x12' Etowah tarp. The new upgrade is a WBBB D 1.7 and the Hennessy Hex Tarp. The Hex tarp seemed to...
I use 6' on the back side and 12' on the front (zipper side) because I use poles to prop the front up during the day. On the Hennessy Hex I put 2) 12' tie outs on each tab.
Is that a thong or a hammock!!!!! Hahahaha. Just kidding
I am going by a commercial carpet store and checkout the thinner padding or the poly underlayment for laminate flooring.
Might go by UPS and buy some bubble wrap
I'll take it,
I put the snake skins on after removing the buckles and loop, installing a bare 8" loop, install the snake skins then larks head a single descender ring on to the 8" loop. The loop and buckles are...
My 1.7 Double arrived on Wednesday. Compared to my Skeeter Beater Pro it is much stronger and has a much flatter lie. At 245# I max out the Skeeter Beater.
The Double 1.1 would have been OK but...
Hey Petal. I am from Petal, live in Purvis now.
A guy on evilbay has 1.3 oz silnylon 65"wide for $2.00 per foot/ $6.00 per yard. Several colors.
Thanks, I'll use the 2.2 Zingit, the piece of amsteel is 25' and I really wanted to make a pair of whoopie slings.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but maybe expand on ridge line information, Hope this is ok, if not someone tell me.
What rope is acceptable to use as structural ridgeline. I have 7/64th...
Southern Noob here, just wanted to say hello and thank you for all the good information.
The Skeeter Beater Pro, 10' x 12' Etowah tarp and I made it through one peaceful night. There are still...
My 1.7 DL is on the way. It was ordered only 1 week ago.
Thanks,
I bought 4 descender rings and a few pegs from REI, tree straps, 7/64 amsteel and suspension straps from Arrowhead, and a tarp from Ben's Backwoods. This should make the Skeeter Beeter Pro...
