So I have been in the same situation. I am a scoutmaster in NC and I spend most of my time in the hammock, but once in a while I have to go to ground. I currently have an Old Man winter from WL for...
You can also use the climbing webbing from REI. You get 30 feet for about $12.00. Cut is in half and sew loops on one end and you have very strong, non stretch straps for the hammock. A simple...
Count me in:boggle:
I replaced the rope and biners with continuous loops and rings. I use tubular webbing for my tree huggers. I bought 30 feet at REI and cut in half and added loops on the end. I can take the strap...
Count me in. Thanks and Happy Holidays!!
Just got back from a 3 day camp where the average nights were in the mid 20's. Finally got to test the limits of the XXL top quilt from WL. I could have gone into the teens witout a problem. The XXL...
I used the same setup for the last year (Figure-Nine and Reflector cord). It worked great in all climates. I did notice a bit of stretch with wet weather and had to make a few tension adjustments. I...
I'm In!!!!!!
Just completed my order for a full conversion (Stingerz, Flyz, Hooks,etc). Can't wait to get everything swinging!!!!!:thumbup:
I stopped by Marty's place this weekend to pick up a bug net. I had called him earlier in the week and asked if he could do a few mods to one for me. He had it done in less than a week. There is...
I bought 30 feet of climbing strap and cut in half. I put a loop in one end and you are done. I use a ring with a Marlin spike hitch to attach everything.
Here is my own version of the modification. I have seen Marty's and they are nicer than this but function the same.
I am just down the road from Marty and was up there just last week to get a bag. I ended up walking out with a Night Owl to go with the bag. I have had the OLM for over a year and the two pieces...
How about "Kodachrome LTE" or "Poly Pocket"
It is a simple modification. I cut some footprint tieouts off a used up REI tent foorprint I had. They have the small grommet rings for smaller poles. I stitched up the nylon ribbing to complete the...
I attached a small groisgrain tieout to the D-ring and then looped it through the tarp tieout on my OMW tarp. It extended the tarp tieout by about 2 inches and also gives me the option to go diretly...
I have two sets of Whoppie slings attached to my 12' long tree straps. My longer whoopie set (6') I use for my hammock and the shorter one (4') I use with a 10x10 Silnylon tarp where I gather each...
Can't wait for my pillow and underquilt!! Been cold for too long.
I am new to the forum but thought I might share what I found when making my slings. If you look on the Sampson website http://www.samsonrope.com/splicing-instructions.cfm
