Hate to be a downer, but I don't see webbing on that shopping list. We should be encouraging our young people to be respectful to the trees- that involves treehuggers, IMHO.

Right on, and thanks... I forgot that part. I've just got so many kicking around I didn't think of it on the list.

I agree with ramblinrev as well, don't bother with the end whipping method - it's good, but can be a nuisance. It's much simpler to sew in a channel (triple stitching, or better) AND even easier to just use your cord and tie a double sheet bend on your gathered end.

Was the digital camo material from Walmart? I can't ever seem to find any useful material at the stores I stop in on.

Yes it was from Wally world. Thing is they had a good bit of it, then when I went back it was gone. The camo stuff seems to get gone quick around here. Maybe some other hammock folk nearby.
