    Personal DIY marathon!

    I've been lurking and reading HammockForums for weeks now, and have gotten so many great ideas and inspirations.

    In the past three weeks I've completed nearly a dozen DIY hammock projects.

    So far I've put together 2 DIY homemade UnderQuilts, 2 homemade hammocks, 2 sets of snakeskin's, created my own whoopie slings (which I replaced the stock suspension in my own hammock with), whipped up a ridge line organizer, and a nifty hammock seat/gear hammock.

    I'm going to post pictures in individual threads, but wanted to give a shout out to the knowledge and know-how from all of the posters here in the DIY section!

    I'm working on 2 additional Underquilts this week for my brother.

    New posts and photos to follow!

    +1, so many helpful people, and so addicting
    It doesn't help that things are so much cheaper when buying in bulk...

    Nice. I wish I had time for some diy marathons. Would much rather be doing that than studying!
