This is what led to my hammock ripping in half before even getting to sleep in it.
California for the win. . There are plenty of giant sequoias to hang your hammock from around here.
I want it.
Thanks but half the point is to learn to sew it up myself I'm sure I'll eventually get a stitch in there as straight as yours though. :cool:
Two pieces of good news though. One the part is still in production. Two I'm pretty sure I found the right shop to have it repaired at.
Well I somehow managed to break the thing already and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to find the replacement part. I was really hoping it didn't have any plastic gears but it turns out it had exactly...
This thing is so shiny I can see myself in it and I'll be finding out how well it works once I get a small enough screwdriver to tighten the screw holding the thread tensioner in place. Still...

Any idea where I can get the manual???
Not entirely sure I trust myself picking out a thread injector from a yard sale or thrift store...
Thanks I was looking for a link to that thread.
How do I remedy my situation. My GTUL decided it wanted to rip in half before I even got it out for my first overnight hang. What to do what to do? Anybody have the link to that old thread on...
Have you figured out which synthetic is best yet??? Same problem here.
You know it could be useful if we posted climate types in this thread. You know for those of us that want a winter hang location that isn't too terribly cold. Just saying inquiring minds *might*...
That too. But as a geek I have an obligation to post XKCD comics whenever they are relevant.
Obligatory XKCD
Silly me and I was thinking about camping within about 20min of said pass... In winter no less (once I get my winter gear together.)
Round here most camping is to avoid the 110+ degree heat though we don't have quite the humidity.
On October 30th it was at the 15.99 level and no free shipping (it didn't arrive until last week...)
Wouldn't a single sticky do the job? Just keep a single post listing the current hangs for each region with links to the thread about it? After each hang is over either remove it or add a "past...
Darn I forgot to call dibs.
I really would like to get out of the cut and paste world of enterprise software development though.
Back off I said it first:lol: I bet the code for that is at least more interesting than what I work on every day. Nothing like coding business software to put you to sleep.
Sounds to me like they need an assistant web developer... Sadly I live across the country.
That's when you get into meta-analysis. Questions like "how much analysis is enough", "what are the consequences of only analyzing this far", and my favorite "how much analysis do I actually have...
I'd say I suffer from it as well but that's not true... Everyone around me suffers from it I enjoy it quite thoroughly...
Is a swingset anything like those hard bottomed hammock chair sets you see in playgrounds the ones with the funny chain suspensions?
Well mine was actually created as a joke back in the early days of college. A friend of mine fancied himself a hacker and his nick everywhere was "darkkoder" as we were both CS majors (at the time I...
I might have to test this when I get set up, of course no downy goodness for me as I'm allergic to feathers, but a simple weight test should tell me the effects. I have an odd feeling that if done...
Insulation is primarily there to stop conductive and convective heat transfer. The material will actually re-radiate the heat out and you still end up losing the heat. The reflectix actually...
I guess I'm unsure as to why that is a bad idea?
Job hunting can be a real pain and I've felt it more than once. For some reason this thread makes me want to procure donating member status.
It's not *just* a vapor barrier it's a radiant heat barrier. In physics there are three majorly studied methods of heat transfer Convection, Conduction, and Radiation. Dead air space and insulation...
I'm familiar with the towns up in that area but haven't gotten out on the trails. I was actually just starting to look into those areas around the time you were posting this.
Well That email directly contradicts itself and would convince me by itself not to ever order from that company (if real).
Thanks for the info I was finally able to find those on the Tahoe National Forest site Status: Unreachable (due to snow). Looks like I'll have to work on scouting out the earlier season sites for...
Looks like there is still some sort of deal going on I ordered one yesterday for $20 with shipping.
I've been looking into the Tahoe National Forest areas I'll have to start checking out some of the trails but it's starting to be a little to late in the year for that.:(
Hello newbie here, at least to backpacking and hammocking, looking for info on good beginner hammock setups and locations for hiking/backpacking. I've spent too many nights with a rock that I can't...
Any way I can get an approximate location on that lake? I am currently gearing back up after a many year hiatus from any form of camping and I'm looking for some good places in this area. I am also...
One of those mushrooms looks a lot like Lion's Mane... Out here in the Pacific Northwest there are no toxic lookalikes but if you were even remotely looking at trying mushrooms you need books for...
