Hello everyone, I recently dusted off much of my camping supplies after not having used them for a few years and came across an old hammock. The idea was sound, the hammock was not.
So I just made a DIY hammock and I'm looking forward to round two!

welcome to HF from Mass.
Thanks for the warm words of welcome!
Yeah, I remember buying it at a camping distributor during a year end sale but it was definitely not made for camping. It was a woven hammock, neither very wide nor long, and the ropes at the end were rather short, so it took forever to find two suitable trees. Aside from the hammock body being continually tangled or snagged on something, the nylon ropes at either end were definitely not something I'd use again, even if they hadn't caused me to suddenly become reacquainted with the Earth in the middle of the night. On the up side, the whole thing stretched a lot, so I didn't have far to go.Originally Posted by Shotgunred

DIY section was great, but prices of raw materials these days seem high enough that I could have bought a hammock for about the same price. I just finished it up the other day, and while the feeling of making it myself is definitely a great feeling, we'll have to see if that feeling lasts after I've put this baby up between some trees.
