They are standard bolt width if there is such a thing. Around 55 in I think.
Welcome from Greer SC too!
I've made four hammocks now. The first two were 9 footers- cause I did not know any better and I am cheap. :-)
Then I quickly realized they were too short for me since I...
HF Mods rock. They have been very helpful to me the few times I needed some assistance. I also appreciate their gentle but firm control of the forum. It is not an easy job- in fact it us usually...
I had issues in YouTube with directly viewing part 1- froze at the hammock scene before the creek. Tried watching it imbedded in IE and Chrome. Still froze the same spot. The resolution trick...
Welcome to the forums from South Carolina. Kingston is a nice place.
I used to spend my summers in Marmora, ONT. Great memories on the lake and exploring. It was a small town then. It has grown...
Tell the "missus" to be careful on those late night trips to the bathroom. Getting closelined by the hammock suspension would be a shock to both of you. LOL

I used Permatex flowable silicone windshield sealer that is available at autozone or oreileys. It worked great for my ridge seam and for a few small pin holes I made during construction.
I have not...
Yup! That is spit your beverage or snort it out your nose material right there!
Try to find someone close to you that is on hammock forums or go to a group hang. The best sources of information...

It occurrs to me that you could just "quilt" an exterior layer of lightweight nylon to the outside of it. This would make something like a PLUQ and it would firm up and reinforce the attachment...
Hi Rat-
My setup is similar to yours, especially the cpap on a small folding table next to my hammock. If I read your post right and you are looking to leave your stuff setup but partly secured...
The first few nights I spent outdoors in a hammock was in my backyard. I did not have a hammocking tarp and rain was not expected. The skeeters were out so I used a bug net. I was comfortable and...
By the way...I forgot to mention that the 1 cup of minute rice and other ingredients make a good amount of rice so I usually split the mixed dry ingredients in half and vacuum seal it in two...

There is a thread around here somewhere on that dish. They do a good job of...
Cool! No I mean it! A camping pad under you will help some. They are cheap but they don't breathe so you might have condensation issues. Some folks swear by fleece sleeping bag liners in warm...

I was fortunate to be asked by a local Boy Scout troop to help instruct at a weekend camporee at a...

They are not joking about bear burrito's (uses scary eyes!)
There is a great thread or two on this forum about scariest thing that has happened while hanging. They are a great read while in your...
When I first started hanging I did not use a pillow at all. Then I tried a regular bed-sized pillow. no good! Then I happened to see an "airline sized" pillow lying around and thought I would try...
I greatly reduced the amount of heel pressure I was experiencing by making a longer hammock and using a fleece blanked bunched up under my knees. I went from a 9 foot hammock to an 11 footer. the...
