Ordering a GT Ultralight - Need to spend more..

[Craigthor]

I've got a deal on a tarp - my deal is I'll send you a 9x9 but when you can pass a favor on to someone else do so. PM me you address will probably be saturday before I can ship it out.

You should re-read your other thread. I offered to send you most of that stuff for free and sell you a tarp cheap. Since you have a stove I can send you some dynaglide to make hammock suspension with instead

Which thread! I will find it, I been busy the last 2 days on here.

Thanks guys, I saw that Noob first hang post.

I have gone from "not wanting to go cheap" to "ok, I can go cheaper here, and there" to "ok, cheap it is" lol. Always one of those "spend the money for the quality types".

I don't have sewing machine and since I don't know how the suspension works (even after watching videos) I'm not sure I could DIY it, without knowing what piece of gear it is.

Are WhoOpieSlings the same as UCR?

I am starting through the suspension threads now, trying to understand it.

[sdveirs]

No, not bungees. Yes, Utility Constrictor Rope.

There are several types of suspension but many of us are favoring UCRs lately.

Here's an excellent thread about them: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=76105

.

I went through the suspension threads - this one made a ton of sense to me.

Thanks MDSH

If you can squeak out 22.50 plus a few for shipping you can get a full whoopie suspension from arrowhead equipment. For 35 you can get the cinch buckle which is super easy to use.

In case you missed it.

I'll send you everything you need to make a whoopie sling suspension. Webbing, Dynaglide and some wire to splice the whoopie slings with. I'll also send you some tulle to make a bugnet, but you'll either have to hand sew it or use tape since you don't have a thread injector (which is an investment that will pay for itself tenfold). If you don't wanna be that cheap with the bugnet then put a WTB thread in the for sale forum and see what you can find.

My brain is melting...lol so much to think about and so little knowledge about everything being sent my way. ha!

Ordered last night - I picked up a fire starter along with it. Should start working on the kits.

[Craigthor]
