like I said just hang a little higher so you don't touch the ground when it stretches...

personally I use some strap that stretch when there's weight on it and get back after (those used for securing a load on a trailer...) it's not ideal but it work I just need to plan how much they'll...

there's worst as brainwashing... but the coffe crisp bar won't make it worst?? :D

never been in that area either but live in rural place and I always have been told that if you think you're fine, fish guts and other stuff that could attract them... in other words, follow the...

if you have a cooler filled with beer permanently on the porch you are the redneck god !!!!!

by the way, the zeppelin use 47.9% less ropes than the figure height which is 7.7% less than the alpine butterfly so they are pretty much the same in terme of rope usage...

this is why I wrote this:



never had any problem with amsteel for making any knot the only thing is that you have to adapt the knot to the rope...

I don't think a knot is you know it then...

some pic... on the last one you can see two cranking device on the straps... I thought I could use it to adjust the hammock while I was in the hammock but did worked out well so i'll have to work on...

I might be wrong or just close minded but I think that the zeppelin loop is kinda hard to remember... and if you had a slip with the butterfly knot, it might be because you didn't check it before or...

I just did the test again being more carful, I ended up that keeping the same loop size the alpine butterfly use 43.5% less rope than the figure height (in line or on a bight will use the same...

the alpine would be better than the figure because if you don't use a loop in the middle the pressure will be put il line I mean that it's not gonna force the knot to open like a figure height would...

my take would be to ask a sewing shop to do it if you never sewn at all... the thing is that you can't really sew the outside and the inside if you don't want any cold spot... if your wife is like my...

just forgot to mansion that I use 23" of rope and that it doesn't really weaken the stakes it would if one of the wings was completely cut but since it's not and should not there's no problem I never...

Hi,

Since I had to make a new set of stakes for the hammock I just built I could show you guys how I make them from standard summer stakes (tree sided aluminum like the ones sold at rei but here...

personally, I like the idea of filling a complaint even now before trying to hang it again, just fill it explaining that they were abusive because you can show that everything used as a safe rating...

since you seem to be in science, you could as an annex to you complaint show them that the "cord" they were pointing at could easily stand the golf cart they came on...

chris

personally I don't even make a loop in the webbing (ok it's my first hammock) so I use knots only (sometimes 'binners) on webbing why I choosed that way... habit maybe (I'm a rock climber and...

hi,

hi,

as a climber, I thing that doing a portaledge like hammock even for a dog out of 1" pvc pipe isn't the best idea. I explain the fabric used as "floor" is so tight that it'll bend the pipes...

boundfree the sewing machine you put in your link is a piece of crap seriously, I borrowed the same (not exactly but they are made for 3 or 4 brand by the manufacturer the only difference is the...

hi,

personally, I'd use only a a double fisherman's bend but treating the two rope end on the left as one... it's strong and simple
...

actually it'll be even colder than that last year (I did it in a quincee) and we got 0F at night, and yes I taught about the under side of my hammock but I'm not going to use a UQ but a foam pad very...

I'm a total noob but I think it's a question of personal preference the exact same way some people prefer soft mattress over hard mattress and so on... I might be wrong but personally I don't give...

I'm a total noob, never slept in a hammock of my entire life (not exactly true, I did it one day in those hammock that come on a tubing frame in any hardware store because it was too warm inside) but...

Hi,

I'm not gonna say if it worth it but I'll just raise some more questions...

1- Do you really need a sewing machine that can write the alphabet
2- Do you really need a LCD screen to show...

just finnished and tested but it's kinda dark outside so the pictures will have to wait a week or so but it was absolutely amazing!!!

hi,

I did asked some question (here: http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28029) and I got a lot of answer and they were useful ad because of that I'm currently making my first...

hi,

I looked around to find the best deal possible, and I bought a some nylon to make it myself. I found 1.9 ripstop with a pu coating that breath but at the same time breath... 7,99$/m and it was...

hi,

it'll make a difference for sure but I think it should be closer to your body because you want it to reflect the infrared light that your body is emitting (heat loss) some winter jacket now...

yeah I know that they are completely different style but what I meant exactly is that if I really don't like to hang at all (it should not be a problem I did slept on a portaledge I don't remember...
