Can't say if I'd prefer a double layer since I've only tried a single layer 1.9 but as far as attached bug net I definetly prefer to have it attached when camping. I have a full length zipper which...

Welcome to the addiction. The itch never goes away here

I'm trying to plan a trip down the southern most part wisconsin river from boscobel to bridge port, but it says you need to camp on the sand bars. Wondering if by chance if anyone has done this trip...

Tarp reinforcements are cut out, time to do a lot of sewing! Can't wait to hang this thing up. 102740

Little more process today, got the cat cuts done today. Working on cutting out all the reinforcements now. Hopefully get them sewn on tomorrow, maybe even start doing the 40' of rolled hem around the...

Designer, 2 years ago we were getting packed to go canoe/kayak camping. Getting all our stuff together in shirts and shorts and 70 degrees. That night we got 10" of snow. Buddy had a Prius and barely...

Well, this project went to the way side for awhile! Finally got the 2 pieces sewn together, and starting to make the reinforcements for the tie out. It really wasn't that bad sewing that together,...

I will try that style of ridge line seam on my scraps. I see 3 steps so I would stitch it 3 times right? I will post some pictures tomorrow night when I get some time.

Anyone have some close ups of their ridge line with the tarp hung up and staked out? Id appreciate it!

Will do! Probably do for a needle anyways. 4 hammocks, a dozen draw string bags and a underquilt all on one needle. :)

Horrible picture example but on the left side of the left row of stitches is where it opens up. Won't be able to get better pictures till I get back home in a couple days.

Ok, I have been practicing on the pieces ripstopbytheroll has generously provided for me. It's been going pretty well... But have a couple questions before i try and tackle 2 winter tarps this...

Made both hammocks, and have material coming to make 2 winter tarps and another hammock for a friend! Love hammock camping

Curious if anyone has a silnylon or argon winter tarp for sale. Only interested with a tarp with doors. No hex's etc... Thanks!!

Great looking tarp! Do you know how the argon compares to Silnylon as far as durability? Torn between the 2 fabrics on which to use!!

Hanging at road america over the weekend! Doubt this place see's to many of these :)

The pad just slides all over the place in a single layer. I will try and find the how to on this.

What method do people use if they use grosgrain on their ridge line?

I have also been waiting for argonsil!

I've got about 300' from work and looking to use it in my diy projects. Guess I'll just save it for when I try a bridge hammock

I'm tossing around the idea of making a tarp Was wondering what your guys thoughts are on having mule tape sandwiched between the fabric of the ridge line. I feel you would be able to get it very...

I found this forum over the winter and got into hammock camping this summer. Started with a dn eno and now I have a sewing machine and have made my own hammock, underquilt, integrated big net and...

Did you ever find a bridge hammock?

I'm remodeling my basement, anyone have any suggestions for a way to beef up the wall to withstand a hammock?
I was thinking either 2 studs side by side and screw them together. Then 2 studs would...

I will check into a thinner needle. I read that some webbing straps have tighter weaves than others. This stuff i have i don't know hownyou could even tie a marlen hitch with. It is some very tough...

So, went camping last weekend and it was his(my brother) first time ever in one, at least camping . it took all of a second for the strap to break when his weight was in the hammock. They held me...

What was this UQ rated to then? I know you ended up adding some more down to it, but don't remember if you said what the rating was. Thanks.

Hikingdad, Xtrekker, fronkey, and Shug are all good ones to watch for some very interesting camping and diy videos

It be cool to see a video if this thing in action! Also I agree, didn't quite get how the process of making a underquilt went before. You make it look real easy

Finished my 3rd diy hammock about a week ago. Got it down to 45 min to sew a hammock with adult beverage breaks. 82952
The bags and whoopies take additional hour or so.

Great video! I need to do order some more material and make one of these!!

I would think you could dye it. Might rub off though. Lmk what ends up working. I have unlimited supply from work I might have to snag some up and try coloringbit

Here are some more pics for you guys. I don't have a real good way to weigh it but it is just above a pound.

Don't know why it looks so grey in...

It cost me about $50 from diygearsupply.com. I will weigh it when I get home but without the suspension it was at about 16oz

Tonite in gonna finish up the suspension by making some triangle...

I can't believe people say they can take this to 30-40 degrees. It's so thin!! But it has the air gaps like its suppose to so time will tell if it works!! Yeah, he is my little buddy, tried jumping...

Finally finished it! Came out a lot nicer than I would of ever thought. 3 more weeks and I should be camping with it. Can't wait!! 82129

I finally finished it, can feel the heat build up instantly!!! Can't wait to test it!! 82120

Almost done with my under quilt! Have about 4 hrs into it and should be done in about 2 more hrs of work! It's camo on the inside and black on the outside. Can't wait to try this thing out!!!

After looking at the cost, makes more sense to just make integrated doors. But further looking tells me the superflu is the way to go. To diy a tarp would cost me almost 100$ or I just spend the $130...

Been thinking about doing a diy tarp with the option of attaching doors. Watched a few videos on how different places do it but I was thinking id use velcro to attach. Is there any diy's that cover...

Jealous, just can't bring my self to do it. Wish I could get a 5 minute preview of the other forums!!!!

Was making alcohol stoves the night before haha. Not sure the age of that sewing machine, got it from the parents. Works like a charm tho!

Wanna talk about excited, just ordered $140 worth of materials from diygearsupply.com!!! 2 hammocks and a ix underquilt for this guy!!! So pumped

Pink camo would be sweet! If you find some let me know!! Haha

Xtrekker, what kind of changes did you make to the depth of your bridge?? Hikingdad is this design the same as the one as you use in your videos when camping ?

Didn't think of that victoriaguy. Might just have to make a different bag then for the straps.

I got the fabric from diygearsupply.com. It's 1.8 breathable ripstop nylon acu camo. Cost $3.85 a yard and I made mine about 10.5 feet so I got 4 yards of material so I could make bags and such for...

Think I thought of a good name for it. The "Crappy Camo Hammock" haha

Thanks. I'm a pretty big fan of acu camo . Looking at making a bridge hammock next and it will also be this type of camo!!
