I'm glad I posted my question here for the experts before I ended up on the ground.
I'll have to play around with that. Thanks for the ideas.
Okay. Thanks for the replies. What about if the ridgeline is non-structural and has a touch of slack in it? Does this still create too much stress on the whoopies?
I have a DIY hammock that is really tiny. I just bought a Warbonnet Traveler Net for this summer, and when I set it up, I found my ridgeline to be short. Would there be any reason why I couldn't...
I always drive through the Chippewa National Forest on my way to backpacking in Itasca and up the North Shore. Are there hiking trails in the National Forest? Where can you find more information...
1. Lack of condensation!
2. Availability of location (more convenient trees than flat tent pads)
3. Lightweight (best means of getting deep into the forest)
4. Escape from snoring friends
5....
Perfect. I have a few good looking options here to think through.
Thanks for the replies!
Hey, I have been using the HH system for years, and I am finally moving away from it. I made my own hammock a while back and recently bought a Warbonnet Edge tarp. I have tried stringing up the...
I am pretty new to the hammocking content, but I am a paid professional in the line of content + structure, so if you have any questions in that field, send them my way.
I was anxious to jump into sewing, and I worked backwards. First, I made a topquilt, then a hammock, and then a couple of stuff sacks. Needless to say, the stuffsacks are nearly perfect, while...
Thanks for the additional info. Based on my measurements, mine will need to go into the adjustable section, so thanks for the heads up. I guess I would have planned on putting them there, but now I...
Perfect. Thank you!
Hey, I am fixing up my HH to have whoopie slings. I am planning on using a separate ridgeline for the tarp, but I am wondering about ways to use the stock tarp setup with the whoopie slings. Has...
My aunt sleeps in a Hennessy with her 60 lb lab. The lab loves it! I have seen this first hand. I think it is a matter of training. The dog sleeps in her bag with her, which allows her to...
Welcome! I love the BWCA and I have been hanging there to avoid my snoring friends more than I hang anywhere else...
The one piece of advice that I have as an avid ultralight hiker/BWCA...
I'm pretty new to the DIY game, but I have used exclusively diygearsupply and I have no reason to change. Great prices, fast shipping, excellent service.
Gotta try!
Yeah, that looks good...we'll see how this works out.
Thanks!
Hey, I am still quite a newbie (I have a few years of casual hanging, one semi-successful TQ and an in-progress hammock to my DIY name) and I am interested in an underquilt for my Ultralight A-sym...
Thanks! That gives me plenty of confidence.
I do most of my hanging in 40-60 degrees (which is pretty consistent in MN from June-September). Would it be possible to make a two-layer IX with a nylon outside that is connected to the hammock? I...
Hey, I've gone through forums and looked up a bunch of information on fabric vs. body weight for making a hammock. I am interested in making a 1.1 ounce ripstop single layer hammock to always hike...
Thanks for the quick feedback!
I grew up in MN and I love it. I just grew up in the northeast where all the lakes are...now I am out where the food is made. It's a tough adjustment!
I have...
I've been backpacking for many years, casually hanging for a few years (I started with an HH to escape my viciously snoring tentmates), and I am interested in adapting my hammocking habits to a...
