I haven't investigated panel pull poles for my Superfly yet. Where did you find materials to make the poles?
I am interested in the answer to these questions as well.

This is sort-of what I was thinking, but using a series of locked brummels to create various attachment points. So you would create a "1 inch static hole" (shorter...
Ok this is what I understood after reading through all of the comments several times, watching the videos again and practicing both splices. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I was originally...
Thanks!
It might help if we knew what the intended use was. But here are a couple of options that are not plastic.
This one looks like an easy DIY with a rubber band or maybe shock cord....
I like this a lot. What are the dimensions?

I got a migraine Monday night. Yesterday I tried to understand your replies but it hurts my head to concentrate too hard. Migraines always last me at least 48 hours but I should be able to think...
I appreciate this since it was your use of mini UCRs that first got me thinking about incorporating UCRs of various sizes in my setup.
Thank you nanok for your reply.
I have created a new thread to specifically address my questions above. Hopefully I explained it better the third time. :D

Thank you very much to all who responded! Now to read through and try to understand them. :)
My question is regarding the proper way to make a locked brummel for a fixed eye or a continuous loop. I posted the question in an old sticky but didn't really receive an answer.
The question...
Does anyone on YouTube post trip reports for the Western US (a la Shug, Sintax77, etc.)? I have only been able to find people who use tents or a one-off video from hammockers who live in the Eastern...

What is the model # on the pliers?
Thank you BikerDad that was very interesting!
I would like to add that as someone who is new to both hammocks and DIY I found this thread to be very helpful. I found it about 2 weeks ago but I wish I'd found it a year ago. I agree that it would...

Since you say you know nothing about what to start with, does that mean you have no needles, thread or other sewing tools?
I just last week found Wawak.com and they have all sorts of sewing stuff...

I had no problem understanding you and really appreciate the effort you made to make a video for us newbies. It was very helpful since I have seen those mushroom looking things growing on trees but...
Thank you P-Dub for the links. The instructions for the Brummel Eye Splice on that page look very interesting. However they seem completely different from what I was talking about.
Maybe it would...
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Snowball and Hutzelbein for your replies. Sorry I didn't see them before. I ended up sending an email to RSBTR the next day and got a reply from them so I forgot to check back here. However...

Welcome from Northern California.
Hopefully it's ok to resurrect this old post. I came across this while looking for information for a DIY underquilt. I was planning to use Argon 90 inside and out but now I am wondering if this...
Hi everyone. I have not been able to find a tutorial for EVO loops. I have found info on how to use them but nothing on how to make them. Do any tutorials exist???
We were supposed to be sleeping in our hammocks in the piney woods tonight. :(
Earlier this week I saw the forecast for the Sierra for tonight was frozen mix. We aren't prepared for that kind of...
Thank you for your suggestion on the needle size. I am using my mom's sewing machine (Viking Husqvarna, almost identical to the one Jellyfish used in the video for sewing straps). The smallest...
Do you by chance have a diagram or pics?
I am also interested in this subject because I burn easily. In another thread someone suggested putting a mylar space blanket on top of the tarp. I think I would prefer above the tarp vs. below the...
Thank you for all the explanations you have provided to help me figure out my straps, ridgeline, etc. I feel better now about using Zing-It/Lash-It for my ridgeline and know what to do to avoid...

Thank you so much for explaining which thread to use and why! I greatly appreciate it!
