Yes, that was my plan. I was planning on using 30 foot for the ridgeline and the rest for continuous loops for prussicks and other odds and ends. I just didnt know if 30 foot would be long enough

I got 50 foot of lash it, 4 dutch hooks, and one wasp

So i just ordered some bling from dutch and some 1.75mm lash it. How long is everyone making their ridgeline for their tarps

Wow that reflective cord is bright

Threw these together tonight for the kids. We lofted my sons bed tonight, giving a perfect opportunity to hang some small hammocks. Here they are watching the santa claus 2

i bought my wife a singer about 5 years ago. i just took it out of the box a month ago to make my first hammock. your wifes will work fine.

If I've read some of the grafts right. A hammock with a thirty degree slack only puts the persons weight at the anker points

No they are not attached to the walls. The angle that the hammock was at there really wasn't a chance of it coming down

Thanks for all the compliments. I finaly got some carabiners that I trust holding me up. I just got home from REI. Wow that store is sweet. It's a good thing I didn't have more money. Lol

i wish. lol. although i dont think they would know if i did.

no, no audience, thank god. just me in my stupidity

i have amsteel now. i was just testing the hammock out at work. it held me sitting, but the minute i went to lay back the head side of the rope broke. i think it was cut by the shelf i was hanging...

no, i was in my office at work. hit the concrete floor. only about a foot high.

i hit the ground yesterday with my first built hammock. wont be using paracord for suspension anymore. lol..

thanks bud, i live right next to a bass pro. looks like ill be taking a trip

yeh, i broke one of those childrens needles making one of mine. i wouldnt mind having some wire like opie uses either.

that does make it look very simple to use.

where does one attach theirs to on a gathered end hammock. the only rope i have at the moment is 1/8 amsteel and 550 paracord. which one would you recommend for the line.

what is the most pressure that is put on a ridgeline and what is everyone using to make theres. what is the common length.

thanks in advance
matt
