You guys in Westchester should look at Ward Pound Ridge. It is a great place. I recently spent my first hammock night there. They have no problem with hammocks either.

THanks guys. I'm definitely not going to eat any mushrooms! But the crazy one does indeed look like lion's maine.

On the IX UQ, I did test it on the balcony with much tighter suspension and it...

Wow, thanks everyone for the nice support. I will play with the underquilt. I'm just scared if it is against the hammock without me in there, when I lay down, the quilt will be crushing the...

Here is my first trip report which is also a gear report of my hammock, tarp, top quilt and under quilt, all made by me. First a quick scorecard for the gear:

Hi guys. First, thanks to Scott for the plans and materials!

I wanted to ask those of you who have had trouble staying warm with the IX tarp. I was out this weekend and the temperatures were in...

So here it is. I managed to finish it on time for my night out on Saturday.
77"x46" of 1.1oz ripstop nylon

Baffles marked 5" apart with scotch...

That was a major pita :). I do one side without the ring (the easy side), then I put the ring flat and drop the foot so that its back side is just on top of the d-ring. Then when I start the stitch,...

Thanks everyone! I have a planned trip in a couple of weeks so I'll make sure to take photos.



Yeah. So easy to make it, I just feed a 1/4" fold to the foot and on the other side comes out this...

So I finally finished my tarp! 126" ridgeline with cat? cuts.

I have proof:

Cut and folded 4 times to make...

Now that is a great deal indeed!

I'm pretty new to down, but from the description in your auction it says you won 44oz of down _feathers_. I think we're talking about down (no feathers) clusters.

this one also looks interesting. 2lb of 750 fill down for $90 (king...

If I do good materials and down it is ~$50 for shell + ~$80 for down. If I get 2nds dwr nylon and a pillow with 500 fp down, it is as low as ~$20 shell + $40 down. Both should get me about 2.5" of...

I've been looking on ebay, target... going to goodwill tonight see if I can find some cheap down and the more I think about it, the more these $150 40F quilts from golite seem like a good idea....

Thanks, the scissors are probably the best piece of my sewing equipment! Just phenomenal. The singer seems to work very well too, though I've only used the straight stich...

So I did some number...

So it looks like I'll need something like 3 yards of climashield (5oz?) + 6 yards of ripstop nylon and some cord for the foot box. I need to find a good source of clamshield now.

Thanks again....

Hi all,

I've been reading here for a while but not much posts as you can see :). I made a gathered end hammock with whoopie slings, which I've been using on my 12 floor balcony pretty much every...

I'll take the hammock if Dweller7 doesn't.
