Hello All:
Time to do some gear mods!
I got myself an ENO Ember last year (apologies to all the DIY-ers). Time to mod the daylights out of it. It's "OK" as issued...but...I think it can be...
I've found that my SB is a pretty snug hang, but a mattress helps to spread it a bit (either a CCF or a self inflated) Diagonal lay is a bit strange in it too. I've been thinking about getting an ENO...
I'm relatively new to the hammock camping side of things (just two hangs so far) I'm hooked (no pun intended) although I do use a hammock as a regular bed at home.
All things being equal, I can't...
I sleep in a hammock at home as well as when I'm out camping. I set up a Byer of Maine Viking stand with a double (couple) sized 100% cotton Brazilian Hammock. To get it to hang right I had to...
I have a skeeter beeter (the ultra light version not the PRO version) and the ~only~ issue I have with it is that it is rated for 250 lbs. I'm 220 +/_ and being that close to the limit bugs me a bit...
I'd like to make some whoopee slings. Everyone out there seems to be using only AmSteel...Is this a simple case of using a superior product for a load critical application? I just got a Grand Trunk...
Has anyone tried using a "Waldo" grade intermediate grade bag as an under quilt? I would think that with minimal mods, this would work. Personally the whole waking up with some wet gear in the type...
Hey stringbean...Solobear here, I'm new to hangin' too...(I did freeze my butt off the first night :D ) Also a fellow Virginian...out on the west side (Blacksburg) near the Jefferson Forest....great...
Hello All:
I'm new to hanging and I'd like to get in with a crowd to do my first official hang. Is there anything happening in the western half of Virginia? Barring that, is there anyone that...
Hello All:
I'm relatively new to hanging. I started out with an old jungle hammock for a "2 nighter" in the trees, and saw this as the way to go (over a tent or a tarp) :boggle:
SO, I've just...
Awesome: As a noob working up a "method" for my first "made by me" this is a wonderfully simple way to do it...thank you.

Thanks to all that replied. I guess I'll start with one (a simple gathered end) and work out from there...still at square one, but I've gotta start somewhere....so somewhere is the local fabric place...
Like the title says, I'm trying to decide between a bridge hammock and a "regular" gathered end type...or even one that does both. I've found tons of great "how to" material, but what are the...
I'd really like one,
thanks...

Thanks.
I also like to do as much foraging as I can out in the woods too...I'd love to speak with you at length about identifying 'shrooms that can supplement the food that I can ID...I've...
Yeah...as a former grunt and being Airborne qualified, paracord was (and still is) all that and a bag of chips...but definitely right...a non starter as a suspension system...live and learn I guess ...
True, I was sleeping on the center line...won't do that again. It was only after the fact that I "discovered" several issues leading to the discomforts of my fist try...one of which was the whole...
Loving all the advice so far guys...as was said, the voyage is mine...but I'm ~REALLY~ enjoying the trip~~:) I've had so much fun with this, I'm finding myself grinning at the oddest of moments..(it...
Welcome to the forum. As a noob here, and to hammocks, it's good to "see" you
:cool:
Thanks for the pointers. I'll (quite happily) start "digging around" is the different areas as i discover them...this is a great forum.
New to the forum, new to hammocks too...I tried a "Vietnam era" jungle hammock that I got from cheaper than dirt about 15 yrs ago. (never used it);)
The canvas was a little dubious for all that...
