Looking for Pink Camo ripstop

**EastTexasHanger** · 07-18-2010, 22:43

My daughter and I went camping this weekend,actually just got home, but over the weekend she told me she wanted a hammock. The tent was to hot and I do agree the temp here is over 100 during the day low 80s @ night, anyway I'll post some pics and report later, right now I need to find some Pink camo ripstop, doesn't have to be silnylon. I would appreciate any input on who my carry something like this. I'll start looking around here tomorrow..
Thanks for the help in advance. ETH

This is a little bit heavy if their weights are true. Polyester pink camo.

Grand trunk sells a PINK hammock (& other Pink stuff), no bug netting & it's not camo, but: "Grand Trunk will donate 5% of the gross sales of this line of products to Save the Ta-Tas to support breast cancer research."

So, She gets a neat hammock & You donate a few $$$ to cancer research.

I have 3 Grand trunk Hammocks, they are a good product.

Is that strong enough for a hammock?

I've been looking for pink camo ripstop nylon for years now for my girls. I haven't been able to find any.

If it is truly 3.4oz/yd as cited on the Rockywoods site, it should be more than strong enough. I use 1.9oz/yd (single layer) nylon ripstop from Speers for my diy. I weigh 200# (though sadly I should be 180#

). Many here use single or double layers of 1.1oz/yd or 1.7oz/yd.

Given that that pink camo fabric is polyester, it shouldn't stretch as much as nylon either.

BUT....understand I have not ordered, held or used this particular fabric. Just going by weight and expectation. You can order a sample for $0.50.

I have seen "butterfly camo" before at wal-mart. it looks like camo from afar, but it's butterflies when you get up close. If I remember correctly, it was ripstop something. I know, I'm a lot a help

Are you absolutely set on ripstop? I have found I like the polyester/nylon taffeta much better for a hammock body, less stretch and more comfortable on the skin to me. On top of that you can find these with a myriad of patterns on them, even stores like Joann's seems stock a lot more of those than ripstop. I made one for my daughter with hearts all over it and I can tell you the fabric holds me with no problem.

Hey Doctari, that is a great looking hammock and Ive heard all good things about GrandTrunk but she's watched my DIY projects and she got bit too, so we'll try this way first hopefully cheaper, cause she wants a down bag too! $$$$ lol..
