Can you tell me where the mid-May hang that you referenced will take place?

Thanks,

Oak

If you can get to a building supply store, local or big box, the lumber usually comes on trucks wrapped in a very strong woven plastic. I would suspect that there are mounds of this stuff that they...

No matter which knot you use, always remember.........

A not neat knot need not be knotted!

I heard that somewhere many years ago, and I guess it means that if a knot is tied correctly there is...

I can do this!
Off the the laboratory:eek::scared:

So am I correct in understanding that these double ended stuff sacks are just fabric tubes with a drawstring at both ends? And these could be made whatever size needed for one's particular...

Would you please add me to the Google map when you get some time?

Thank you.

Well, actually, thank you to all who make this informative and entertaining. I've been meaning to donate for a while, but the thought of just getting a checkbook out and mailing something slowed me...

Thanks for the replies.
My next stop is Speer's for fabric, and I'll get a spool of thread while I'm shopping.
I'll also bookmark the links provided by sclittlefield for future reference.

Hey all,
I'm trying to buy a bit of ripstop to try to make a double-ended stuff sack to hold my complete hammock (including overquilt and underquilt). I've got the ring buckle suspension and I like...

Thanks for the replies. The idea of a stuff sack with drawcord on both ends seems simple enough for me. That method would seem to eliminate one end of the suspension floating around uncontained. I've...

Hello all,
I've been reading this forum a lot, and posting very little for a couple of years.
I know that I've seen at least a thread and maybe a DIY about the whys, and how to doits of a...

Great idea! Thanks.

Hi all,
I've been around the forums for a while, reading and learning and enjoying. I'm about to start getting into basic homemade gear and I'm wondering if anybody can direct me to a pattern or...

Thanks gentlemen,
I'll start digging.

Hello all,
I am trying to find a way to get into any old, archived threads. I looked everywhere I could think of for archives, but I can't find them. I do see references here and there to archives,...

I think I'm gonna go the same way.:eek:
Most of my work is Spring through Fall, so I don't get to hike/camp as much as I'd like and I live off the road quite a ways off grid, so I don't need...

Thanks,
That's good enough for me!!

Oak

Oh yeah,
I just had a thought:D, what size thread will be needed for stuff sacks and/or bar tacking a loop into a length of webbing? I guess, and I do mean guess, that the two tasks will need...

I hear you all. I'm off to buy thread and some material to start learning. I expect to read all of the threads here again that have anything to do with DIY. In my favor, I'm employed in a kind of...

Hi all,
After reading these forums and modifying my HH with rings and straps, I thought I would jump into the shark infested waters. I just bought a Domestic 808 and will soon start trying to learn...

My SMC rings just arrived from SummitHut. I took off the stock HH tarp, tied the rings to the HH suspension line with anchor bends and went out and strung it up. I used Black Diamond OZ 'biners on...

Thanks for the replies.
Eay, I just ordered 4 from Summithut also. They have them listed at 0.4oz
Thanks again for the help.
Now I just need to find some spectra to connect it all with, some...

I am looking for 4 SMC rings so that I can mod my HH Explorer Deluxe. REI seems to have SMC rings backordered.
All of the rings that I find have a listed weight of 4 oz.
After reading all 2...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm getting it together. Last night I was in my HH with the Winter Nest and temps got to about 35 with no problem, using the Omni-Tape mated with the hammock's velcro....

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try tonight, then it's off to the Moose River Monday.:D

Oak

Gadgeteer,
I too just purchased a winter nest. Last night was my first night of use, with temps about 45. I'm using this on a HH and I'm hoping you can answer a question about the entrance slit.
...

Thanks for the replies.
It definitely will be a stopgap until I can come up with the $$ for a JRB, but I'm thinking of canoe tripping instead of backpacking right now, so I won't have to carry it...

I've got a line on a King size down comforter that I hope to turn into an Underquilt for my HH Deluxe Explorer.
Am I missing anything that would make this a nightmare?

Thanks,
Oak

Most of my old samples go to the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, seems like they can always use gear ( especially if they don't have to pay for it ). I donate it for the cost of shipping.

No, too many knee surguries for skiing anymore. I rep canoe and kayak accessories.

Oak

No, I was pretty well tied up with a briefcase, but another guy who was there sacked out in it for a while. He looked like it was his first time in a hammock......and expected to get dumped on his...

I just got back from the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City. As a rep in the outdoor industry, this is the big Kahuna where most everything for 3 season outdoor recreation is showcased. Ski gear...

I've got a HH and I know next to nothing about the hanging lifestyle. That being said, I've set my hammock up in the woods near my house and spent only 1 night in it. Slept like a log. Anyway, I've...

I got mine today also. Hit delete and don't expect to hear anymore from her.
