    Temporary Hammock :D

    After I sold my Ridge Runner, Cloudburst, Spindrift and returned my Lynx I was bummed. I had just bought a Spinn MJ and hung under it once (love it!) I bought a custom HG UQ made of M55 and D7 20deg off the classifieds here, ordered a Darian as well as a new HG Burrow (40 deg). The UQ came today and I HAD to try it out. So I drove over to Jo Ann and picked up 3.5 yards of elephant gray rip stop. I started working at 1600 and by 1930 I was asleep in my new hammock. I made the hammock, ridge line, whoopie slings and tree straps in that time. I also learned how to properly use and set up my new UQ. I got a 45 minute nap in during that time as well. The hammock isn't as wide as I would have liked, but the 55" width is all they had. Final dimentions were 120"x54" with a 100" fixed ridgeline. It held my wife and I with ease, so I know it's good for up to 300 pounds. I think it'll do for naps etc until my new Darian gets here!
