FS: 1.8 ACU Hammocks are Back (limited run)

I recently posted a FS thread for some fabric and hammocks to help support a scout project. We ran about 35 orders! It was a great effort and it helped contribute to making nearly 35 hammocks for both a Boy Scout troop and Cub Scout Tiger den I serve with.

https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=67979

Well, we have enough fabric left for 5 final full setup SL hammocks! This is the last of our material and will help cover the last costs for the project.

FS: $60: 1.8* SL hammock. 10' or 11'. Includes ridgeline, 6' whoopies, 6' tree straps and toggles - includes PP fees and CONUS shipping. I'll remove the suspension and drop $10 from the price or add an adjustable ridgeline and dutch titanium ridgeline biner for $10.

Sorry, no international shipping or double layer orders please. Also, the original cost was $55 but we found that shipping/packaging costs were $5 more on average than we planned during the last project.

First 5 "I'll take it." goes home with a great hammock.

As a note, the first run was very popular. Some quotes from those that purchased thus far:
"I tried mine out in the yard last night and oh my was it nice and comfy."
"I'm currently swinging gently in my new rig in the backyard. This is a suh-weet hammock. The fabric feels nice and soft with just a touch of give. Craftsmanship is top notch. Can't wait to test it in the woods!"
"I was excited to get it hung and man it is comfy. I was not sure what to expect. I just figured I'd support what you were doing with the scouts. Man ya'll exceeded my expectations."

*Originally listed as 1.6 but some folks weighed it and it showed to be a bit heavier than advertised. This fabric has a great feel to it!

Edit: The weights for this setup are:
18.4 oz. : 1.8 SL 11' complete hammock w/ suspension.
14.2 oz. : 1.8 SL 11' hammock w/ ridgeline and no other suspension.

Use this link to PapaSmurf's web site and click on "fabric's" and there you will find a graph which shows weigh limits for a given fabric.

You all are going to get some really nice hammocks. I love mine and took a nice nap this weekend in mine. (DL 1.1, 11 footer) :thumbup: Breyman did an outstanding job, or should I say his wife did. :lol:

Sure thing. Quick note - cartova actually came in a few days ago via PM. I held one aside for him in addition to the five I offered here. Selling to him, but outside the official "dibs" of this thread. The first five here are still getting as asked/promised. Working with the last few to receive payment.

Thanks all!

Thanks!

The hard part (sewing) was all my wife - and they did turn out great! All the order taking/fulfilling, amsteel/suspension work and assembly was me. :laugh:

Can you do this again...?
Or maybe offer the fabric?
I looked, and the only roll they have is 200 yards.

Great Idea for a fundraiser. I think you should make sure this gets around to other troops.

You should have the older scouts do the whoopies and ridgelines (supervised, of course). Could be another fundraiser...

Scouting Rocks!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to run the fabric deal again. While it was a great way to raise funds to pay for everyone's hammocks, it was extremely time consuming for my wife and I (hundreds of hours for all the procurement, shipping, order taking, hammock making, etc.). A great experience for sure, but not something I can replicate any time soon.
