My New Multicam Hammock

I made 2 of these last night, it started out as a double layer then i decided to make 2 single layer hammocks instead. they sure are comfy i tested one last night and its way better than my ENO Dn, they are 60"X132" with a 110" SRL and it weighs only 14Oz with all the suspension and little stuff sack i made for it.

That is cool. I've never been much of a camo guy, but I love that multi-cam, I'd make all kinds of stuff from it if were more readily avail, especially if they had it in sil.
Thats some sweet gear you have there.

I like the multi-cam pattern.......where did you get the fabric? What is the weight? Is that a pad pocket underneath the hammock?

I got the Fabric from Duro Industries, for the Hammock i used there 1.9oz ripstop with DWR, I have a TQ and Uq in the same pattern but i used there 1.54oz ripstop, i didnt make the quilts i sent the fabric to hammock gear and they made them for me, my last attempt with a diy down stuffing Project i didnt realize that i was sitting between an air vent and return for my HVAC it came on and I ended up with Down all over my house.

Very nice looking hammock.

Just last week I treated myself to a new "thread injector." Now I'm trying to decide on what type of hammock I will "attempt" to make. :eek:

Very nice hammock. I was laughing because i am planning to use some down from a blanket that has been freely donating it everytime i move it. Wondering how i should transfer it without making a mess. Any ideas?

Wetting it "DOWN" first might make it easier but I have no experience. Might just make it a clean mess!

Nice job on the DIY.

Wonderful-looking hammock! Do you have a link for the multicam? I hadn't realized that Duro was making it in such light weights.

No. It's not as thorough of a coating as PU or sil; the fabric still breathes. Not as much as it did before the coating, perhaps, but some. And DWR will "wet out" or become saturated with enough water on it, whereas PU and good sil won't. It's great for splashback and fog resistance, but not good for full rain protection.

DWR is often used in quilts/bags and softshell wind shirts for those reasons.
