I'm in the don't think I've ever done it right in one shot. Just take your time, enjoy being outdoors, and don't worry about being speed racer.

If it makes you happy then go for it. I own and use half a dozen string levels but have never felt the need to use one on the hammock. The few seconds you spend meddling with getting it level prolly...

Well our game and fish finally admitted we have cougars after many years of us seeing them, catching them on game cameras, and even people shooting them. But according to G&F the cougars are not...

Do mine the same way as Shug.

I dont buy into the one size fits all and even with 2 of my "same" hammocks my ridgelines are different. I always start out with one that can be easily adjusted,...

Welcome, I'm down in the sticks about 30 minutes south of crime bluff.

I don't worry about bears but around here the mosquitoes swarm the dark colors.

That said I still avoid the neon colors and tend to go for olive or tan colors. They don't seem to draw the skeeters...

I'm looking for the stuff to convert the 66-18 to hand crank. When I'm done I'd like the option to have any of the 3 "power" sources. Funny I was an electrician for a long time you would think I...

Well I went from a single older (80s so not that old) kenmoore this last weekend to the owner of also owning 4 vintage singers, for the grand total of $0. My aunt was cleaning out and somebody had...

Time frame to bad for me, too much personal family stuff going on. Hope you guys have a great time up there.

Weight weenies will weigh helium filled balloons and complain.

Do you require a booster seat to drive the car?

Looks pretty cool. My son got stuck with one of my old ones. It swallows him whole but it was too small for me (why I started making my own).

welcome from south central arkansas

Indeed, I remember that phase. My first 2 years I made about a dozen hammocks. I found it best after that to quit looking at other peoples stuff and the new materials so often.

bias tape is cut on a bias, what you are asking about is straight or cross grain binding. Pretty self explanatory but just for the note straight grain is cut with the grain of the fabric and cross is...

Bias tape is cut on the diagonal of the fabric (or bias). If you have a ton of it to make I suggest getting one of the tools to do it with and a rotary cutter.

Once the DIY bug bites it won't matter what you make it out of this year. Next year the next newest and greatest fabric will come out, you will find stuff you don't like about the one you made,...

The hammocks I've made are all a combo of ideas I like from one brand or something I thought I could modify and make better from another.


The no go zone (as already stated) is trying to profit...

Voted and count me in

Needs a net for around here

Hello from another arky

Welcome from about a hour down the road

Get a weighted shower curtain and use binder clips to attach it to the underquilt. If it works go further. If it doesn't you have new shower curtains.

Tell us how it pans out.

Well great, whats the lightest wood boring device so I can drill holes in trees.




Also I'm vegan so it can't use down.

Unless they are in the hammock with ya I highly doubt it matters. If it did they would setup 20 yards from ya (maybe they do).

Just get a big eye bolt and screw in the tree, no strap around the tree to mess anything up.
