    My First Hang

    Greetings!

    I spent my first night out in a hammock! It was a great experience. Temp was around 38 at night with 10-15 mph winds. Now I need to dial in my diy system.

    If you were able to pull off your first hang using your own DYI equipment, I would say you are off to a great start as a hanger!

    So I was in a hurried rush to toss some thing together and try it out. I bought some ripstop from the local fabric store and with a lot of sewing help form my mother I was able to put this system together in a few hours. I pillaged the old climbing tub for the webbing and rope for the suspension.

    Total $ invested in hammock:
    $13.49

    Welcome Corbano!

    Nice to have you aboard. It's a wonderful hobby or way of life and you will meet some really wonderful people along the way.

    Very impressed with your DIY kit. Where there is a will, there is a way.

    Hope you're able to get out often.

    All the best !
