    First DIY hammock success!

    On a whim (payday) I picked up some Jo Anns rip stop, and spent about 2 hours on this set up. Hammock and skins out of the left over material. Hammock, skins and suspension comes in at 16 ounces. About 10 ounces lighter than my Wally World special.

    Also you get respect for the DP deck in your profile pic.

    Nice work. DIY is fun isn't it?
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    And so it begins----

    Pretty soon you'll have a room filled with fabric scraps and unfinished projects.

    Looks good. I like to color coordinated skins.

    Nice work! How did you attach your ridgeline? Just completed my first from scratch and I'm hooked!
