Just thought I'd show off a few of my DIY projects that I've been able to tackle in between studying for school and work.
11 ft hex tarp and matching double layer hammock using camo 1.1 and camo sil from ripstopbytheroll. I made this for my good friend who thru'd the Long Trail about a month ago. If my break from school was 3 weeks earlier, I would've accompanied him on that trip.

This setup I made for another friend who wanted a hammock setup for backpacking. It is a double layer 1.1 Robin egg Blue from Ripstopbytheroll, also with a matching tarp. The tarp reinforcement material is 300D diamond ripstop. My wife was jealous, so I had to make her a blue hammock as well. I made hers out of the 1.6 HyperD. That stuff is pretty sweet fabric, very silky feeling. I'm now jealous of her hammock.

I just finished this hammock tonight. It is a double layer made from 1.6 Argon, the inside is black and the outside camo. This fabric is awesome to sew, it is very soft, like cotton.

Thanks to all who have shared their knowledge, mistakes and experiences on this forum. Couldn't have become the amateur thread injector I am today without you all. Thanks for looking.
