My First Hammock DIY Project - Complete

[creativeKayt]

Well. I've done it!! In two weekends, around various chores and work-work, I have made a hammock with a shelf and an UQ to go with it. I'm ready for my trip this weekend to the beach, for my first nights in a hammock! Hoooo-Dilly! The tarp is one I bought a long while back, but it'll serve well for this weekend's field test.

Thanks again to everyone here for all the wonderful advice and pointers! Couldn't have done it w/out y'all.

I'll report back next week and post the mass amounts of video I have. Edited, of course... Stay tuned!!!

Let the "fine-tuning" begin! BWAH HA HA!!!
