Where can I get everything I need in one place on one website for a DIY hammock. I know diygearsupply has the fabric but what about amsteal for whipping the ends and maybe a stuff sack? I really want to keep it cheap. I already have a SRL and WhoOpies.
You don't need amsteel to whip your ends. I just use some paracord to whip the ends. You could also sew a channel and larkshead the whoopie through it. If your buying fabric for the hammock, just make your own stuff sack. Not that hard. I believe there some tutorials on here on how to make them.

Trust me; if www.diygearsupply.com doesn't have it- you don't need it to make a hammock.

As mentioned, DIYgearsupply is probably your best source for all materials. If you use Knotty's guide for gathered end hammocks (http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=15205) the line used for whipping can be almost anything...mason line is referenced in the instructions. I used a shoe lace in one of mine.
Dutch: Hammock is probably more weight but who wants to lay on the ground? I pee on the ground.
100% recommend diygearsupply - painless ordering, had exactly what i wanted, quick turnaround!
