FLScouthanger, I had already folded over the edges and sewn them so that I could pull shock cord or para cord through. Hind sight, the 1/8" shock cord would have stretched way too far. The down...
Ok. I'm back to report that the trip was great. I didn't get to set up till 9pm (give or take) and didn't realize that I was RIGHT beside a graveyard, but the only time i woke up was to adjust the...
I had a king size down comforter that was getting old. It WAS white, but over many, many years it has stained. I took it, shook all the feathers to one half and sewed it. Now I essentially have a...
Welcome from Spring Hill (south of Nashville. I had to be different). I hunt and fish a lot as well. Hammock camping makes all the difference. My knees, feet, and back don't hurt after I wake up...
I think I just got more confused. I just made a hammock over the weekend out of poly taffeta. I already had a Byer Moskito and I really liked it because of the stretch. The poly didn't have any. ...
I just made one this weekend out of 100% polyester. I went to JoAnn fabrics and got 144" x 58" teffeta (not crinkle). I was surprised at how stiff it felt when I laid in it. It's not...
Welcome from Spring Hill! I take my pack with me almost anywhere I go. Even today I went to a friend's house to target practice with my bow and while he was shooting I set up my hammock to relax.

I'm almost willing to come over from TN and ride just fill the last check mark. On the contrary, I don't think my wife has ever said be careful.... maybe she knows me too well to waste her breath.
My 4 year has been begging me to take him huntingand camping. I think I can knock out 2 birds with one stone and take him hunting and hammocking next weekend. Now, the 2 year old is the one that's...
I have only recently started hanging. When I was on the ground I would try and find level grounds while hunting that I could return to to camp later. Now that I can float anywhere, I prefer to stay...
Name's Paul. I went out last weekend into W. TN for a hunting trip and camped the whole time. I live in Spring Hill, work in Nashville, lived in Franklin and Brentwood for over 30 years. Depending...
I got into hammocking because a buddy at work told me about it. I came into work one day and he had this forum pulled up. After about a week of hearing how awesome it was I bit the bullet and...
Yeah, but it's a "bug net". Hopefully it'll keep them out. HA HA HA!!!
Hey! If you have to pack out a carcass anyway, why would you want all the extra weight? I try to go light and just eat what I kill in the woods, and hopefully bring home a little extra (works...
Olddog, I'm sure that would be the WISET thing, but I'm not known for my decision making skills! Ha ha! I will bring my fall back gear in case. The good news is that I'll be on about 600 acres, so...
My buddy at work told me about this forum. He'd started using hammocks and the more I listened the more I wanted one! I bought a Byer Moskito the other day from REI. I'm going on a hunting/camping...
