SOLD!!
Up for sale is my well cared for and lightly used Smith and Son's Brave fixed blade knife with a 3.5" blade made of D2 Steel with OD Green Micarta Handles. The knife has a birthdate of...
I've made a few crinkle taffeta hammocks, one of which was kept outdoors. It was outside for maybe a month and a half and didn't fair too well apparently because one day I was laying in it and it...
That's a phenomenal deal. You definitely want to re-wire the motor, light and replace the original foot controller/power cable. I had a Singer 201 with disintegrated insulation that would shock you...
Check out country brooks designs. They have some 1" nylon that's literally 1/3 the price of every other nylon option. Polyester is a little tougher to come by and you're going to pay for it. ...
Your friend did a great job on the table top. Very, very professional. For my industrial I made a walnut top and welded steel legs together with brass. I'm about to make a few more actually so that...
Awesome treadle setup! That Necchi looks mint and the treadle base looks phenomenal. A lot of people dismiss the treadle setups as being too 'antiquated' but they're extremely capable and are a lot...
Hey guys, I've been MIA for awhile but in the last couple years I have gotten REALLY into restoring vintage industrial and domestics machines. The interest was sparked of course by this site and...
Kit is Sold! Thanks guys!
Hey guys, thanks for the interest. I'll give the ad a few more days to see if anyone is interested in the complete package, if not I'll consider breaking it up.
Sgeary, I'm not really sure of a...
SOLD!!
Absolutely kills me to do this but up for sale is my complete hammock sleep system. The reality of the matter is that I simply won't be using the setup anytime in the near future and see...
Currently looking for a sub 4lb 3-person tent. I have my eye on the Tarptent Rainshadow 2 as well as the new Golite Imogene UL3 (<3.5lbs)
I need something a little larger for bike touring my...
I feel like people have a tendency to go overkill on thread some times. Mara 70 is fine, and may even be overkill for this application. Just make sure you use the proper size needle and make sure...
I use my HH SnakeSkin for my tarp only. Once the SS is over the tarp I remove it from the trees, fold it in half and roll it up and throw it in it's sack. It's actually more compact this way than if...
i'll take it, PM Sent
Thanks :) I'll send you a PM
I'd say they're more on the medium side. I'm 5'8", 150lbs with a 22.5" hat side and the Dolomite fit pretty perfectly. Excellent wrap coverage, no vision obstruction, very light (26g) and excellent...
Thats a Bummer!
I have a pair of $300 Maui Jims that I never wear because they're polarized, lol. The polarization blacks out the screen on my Garmin 705 on the bike and does the same for my...
Brand New in Box Tifosi Dolomite 2.0 Sunglasses w/ Tortoise frame and 2 extra interchangeable lenses. Never worn.

I've been wearing the 1.0 version for 3 years + and they're easily my...
Yep knives and jetboil still available
Hey Guys,
Cleaning out the gear closet and found a few items that I haven't been using and would like to see them go to a home where they'll see some use. Prices include shipping via USPS...
^^ Thanks for the input!
I didn't even realize JRB had those "multi-function quilts". That's definitely encouraging and it looks like their execution is basically how I would set mine up.
...
I'm curious to know if anyone here has a converted a topquilt to be used as an underquilt with the option of going back to topquilt.
I have a GoLite 1 Season Down Quilt with a sewn footbox that...
No tutorial/template. Just layed in the hammock and marked approximately where my feet/head were in relation to the hammock edges. Then put binder clips at those points and pulled the edges out...
I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd throw this out there as a last ditch effort before I give up on the idea of using a hammock system as my primary shelter.
I've already thrown hundreds of...
Thanks for the compliments everybody!
Klaus - Eyebolt to Eyebolt is 158"
I just finished a few projects and thought I'd share.
First is a hammock stand built from eight 2x4. I found a similar stand somewhere on the forum here and replicated it. So far it's working...
I know, I know -- this is HF, BUT I thought maybe someone has seen the light, moved to a hammock system for solo trips and has a BA Copper Spur UL1 gathering dust.
Shot in the dark, i know, but...
FOUND! Thanks HF!!
Hey guys, I just got married last week and my wife and I are headed to Thailand for our honeymoon in 2 weeks. We're bringing our GoLite Jam 50/70L and are definitely going...
Hammock & Bugnet Sold. Thanks guys!
I just got my crinkle taffeta table cloth yesterday. Seems pretty rough/scratchy to me. Maybe I've just grown accustomed to the silky smooth feeling of calendared 1.1 ripstop nylon but even my...
I don't know the specs on that hammock but if it's 10 feet in length it probably has a ridgeline of 100 inches (closer to 8'4") (83% of the total 120" length) so bugsock should fit as the hammock...
I don't have the exact numbers but thehammock, ridgeline, whoopie slings and stuff sack weigh pretty much ~8 oz. (maybe less) The straps, I think are another 2-4 oz, not sure though.
The...

Shoes & Goal Zero Shipped. Thanks guys!
Hey guys,
I'm moving in a few weeks so my fiance and I are cleaning house--literally. I'm not using the following stuff and I'd rather not have to pack and move stuff I'm not using. Shipping...
Thanks. putting the zipper on it's bad actually. Give it a shot! :)
I'd say the #3 is extremely close in weight to velcro, #5 probably a little heavier. I didn't want to use velcro because the...
Just a little FYI. They have really limited stock of these so order quick. Apparently they were returns from a dealer in Spain and they won't be getting more from the manufacturer for a few months.
For some reason my coupon hasn't arrived yet?:confused: Does anyone have one I can use? I'll forward you mine as soon as it comes in!
EDIT: Nevermind! It was in the spam folder! Glad I...
^^that's wild!
"Does anyone wash the Tyvek envelope to soften it before making a stuff sack out of it?"
I don't wash it, just hand crinkle it to soften it up. Depending on how much you're...
I made a zippered storage bag for my tarp/hammock/suspension out of tyvek (same materials as USPS envelopes). I ended up replacing it with a Ripstop version but there really wasn't a need to. Tyvek...
I did a cycling tour late October/early November last year from Eugene, Or to San Francisco. I met a guy 2 days into my trip that I ended up doing the whole tour with. Even though we both had tents...
I have a few machines. My main machine for normal to medium sized projects is a Brother SE-400 with embroidery feature. It's a pretty phenomenally smooth and fast machine. Touch screen, huge...
Thought about the whoopie hook but I don't necessarily like the idea of have one giant line (whoopie+straps) that I may or may not have to loop several times around smaller or more closely spaced...
Just googled them. Those are pretty cool and pretty similar to what I was thinking. I'd prefer something that I could slip onto a loop rather than run webbing through but the Elephant trunks are...
Hey Guys, I just thought I'd through this out there because I haven't really seen anything like it and would be curious to know if there is any interest. I don't have any intentions on making...
Hey guys, looking for an 20 degree 3/4 length down underquilt. Experienced DIYer or cottage shop is fine.
Thanks!
PM Regarding Snake Skin :)
EDIT: Also interested in the tarp, but I responded in haste to the snake skins and forgot to mention tarp. So I guess 2nd in line (?)
SOLD...thnks guys
Hey guys. I have too many DIY hammocks, each suited for different purposes and my nano-7 doesn't see much use. Never had an overnight sleep in it, just lounging at the park or...
