I used a big agnes encampment 15 with a military ccf pad at altitudes of 10500-12200 and temps in the 30s with some pretty hairy wind gusts. It was my first time in a hammock that high and cold, I...

Thanks for the help. I am still making hammmocks like crazy. I have given 3 away so far to family and friends. I have always made my own hunting and camping gear but this is by far the funest...

Can you folks give up your source for ridgeline material, size, working load and supplier? Thanks, Bill

I haven't put the socks on it yet. I thought I would hang in it for a few days to see what gives. Bill

Somewhere on this bbs are the instructions as to how I have made my hammocks. Start with the bed side up and fold in half and overlap by an inch or so. I sew it for about 9 inches or so on each end....

Standard hh fold but I did it a little tighter with 5 folds per side and the last reverse fold. I did sew the first 10 inches of each end with a 1.5 " overlap and then zip tie for temp hold. I used...

I did well with a ccf military pad full length with a second short pad for wings and a 20 cheapy bag down to mid 30s. I had fleece pullover, watchcap and longjohns. I am a warm sleeper though.

Just thought I would post a couple of pics of the ends, lashing and grommet method. Don't know if any of these are better but it makes me feel good. Thanks again for all the info on this board. ...

If I am in the wrong forum sorry. I would like to know what size nylon thread to use for webbing and or hammock seams.
Also any info on techniques for sewing tree saver straps such as size of...

Thanks, So far I like using the webbing for the ends, I just wanted something with a higher breaking point for safety sake. Bill

I used an unknown weight of nylon non ripstop, 1 inch poly webbing, tarp grommets, zip ties, 300# polyprop for ridgeline. The material looks like cordura but there was no info on the end of the bolt...

I have 3 HH and with the info found here made my first HH style hammock and I just want to say thanks for the site and the sharing of info. I new there had to be a place where folks experimented...
