What are experiences with assym hex tarps? The idea of better covering diagonal lay with smallest area (thus weight and bulk) seems ok to me, but how it works in reality? What are cons with that...

Since am novice when it comes to sewing I will seriously take that advice, particularly when it comes from you. Thanks

@psyculman

interesting to see that in practice. Thank you for sharing. But going ultralight, I think am better to sew directly to hammock and make classic insulated hammock. Will save some ounces...

Thanks everybody! I had my suspicions, but wanted to hear other thoughts and experiences. Problem solved, no velcro on my hammock.

A friend and I were discussing what seems to us as an interesting idea, an underquilt that would attach to hammock by velcro. Velcro would go all around the edges of the quilt leaving no gap between...

Which I am:). Glad you agree. Hope Kyle or someone involved will read and decide to do something about it. Would be great. I dont know for others, but we who are inclined to numbers would appreciate...

That standard is for solid materials like metals etc. For fabrics one standard is rectangular strip 300x50mm (50 wide), but other widths will do as well.

I searched forum but couldnt find exact info on fabric mechanical properties, mainly Tensile strength and elongation of different fabrics. This is not something hard to obtain, and I guess Tensile...

How do you like the feel of Membrane 10? Is it too stretchy? I thought about 1.0 HyperD but since am 130lbs and like going ultralight, am thinking about Membrane...

They have my email address and credit card number, as everyone other does where I buy online. No photos, statements, and so on. Dont worry, FBI have much more of your data without your permission :)

Since Google, FB and many other companies know when we eat, sleep, drink, breathe and breed, giving some info to china company is not a big deal, I guess. Many of my friend including me buying from...

I want to make DIY Wookie for BB XLC. I read several threads about wookie, watched YT reviews in order to figure out exact dimensions. So far I think Im close with length and width of the insulated...

Im using dynaglide UCR suspension with prusik knot to secure tension and I like the setup very much. It is minimalist approach, probably the lightest suspension possible, and since I am lightweight...

When you say "two separate zipper" you mean continuous zipper with two sliders or actually two separate pieces of zipper? And that on one side or at each sides of hammock?

That was the answer I hoped for, thanks:)

Anyone with negative experience using #3 zipper on bug-net?

approx 30 grams for one side zip or 60 for WBBB type bug-net. If zipper #3 holds why not to save some weight. Bulk as well.

Im planning to make ultralight DIY hammock and considering zipper #3 instead of #5 to save some weight. What are experiences with smaller zip, is it too fragile? Anybody uses such zipper on his...

Speaking weight-wise I think it should work, that is 1.6 oz/y2 fabric, pretty standard aerial weight for hammocks. Of course it depends on your size and weight. If you are "standard" then I would say...

Thanks! You actually answered my question. Putting aside personal preferences it seems it is as I thought, I can go with slightly narrower hammock quilt. I have several quilts but am planning to make...

Hello Everybody!
