My first hammock

[gunn parker]

Hi All
I have just finished making my first hammock, I am very happy with how it turned out, but I cannot find any of the descending rings here in Perth.
I will have to keep looking for them but in the mean time I have used a couple of shackles I had so as I could test it out.
Thanks to Just Jeff for his directions although I used a folding method for the ends rather than bunching.
Any way here are a few pics of it.
Thank

Congratulations for your first hammock! Nice pics too! I guess your second project would be a bugnet bivy to go with your hammock. Hmmm, maybe you should follow it up with a tarp/rainfly....a snakeskin...a stuffsack.......

Hmmmm....I think I smell... *Sniff, Sniff, Sniff,* an addiction beginning! Peace Y'all, Ritz.

Hammocking is like a disease which has no cure!

Can you tell me approx. how much you have spent and where you purchased the fabric? Thanks

[Preacha Man]

I bought all the fabric for mine in the Wal-Mart dollar bin, I used 3 yards for my first, but now I use 3.5 yards. So with the fabric, thread, and webbing I have around $10, depending how much webbing I buy. I buy it in a local climbing store for $.30/ft. and I use around 12ft per side.
