Good looking tarp. Not there yet on my sewing skill yet to tackle a tarp

I have been pondering ripping the baffles along the narrow end of the Costco quilt on two different quilts. Once done, shake as much down down to one end of each quilt. Cut and then sew the two...
I am thinking that the hockey pucks are to dense and would not dampen any vibration. Find a carpet place that either has remnant carpet and pad. Stack a few layers under the legs of your stand. The...
Very true. I actually am a full time hammock sleeper for just over a year now. I have modified one of them by just adding a foot box and the other I use as a pillow loosely under my head. I sleep by...
The Modesto, Ca Costco has a full pallet of them. I still have a couple from the last go around.

Hello all, scoured the thread and was looking for an weight capacity or limitations that I need to be aware of ?
With that said , I already have the fence top rails laying around as well as some...
Here is what I did. Works great and now my son wishes I would have spread them out a little and lengthened them to get a little more separation answer also add a third set up when his buddies come...
Thank you for the suggestion. Probably going to cut it up and share it with a couple of others as the ground cloth. They may even get a bag to store it in.

I had a buddy give me a 9 X 11 peice of Tyvek. Looking for what I could do with it?
I sleep in a 11 ft hammock and wonder if this would be enough coverage if it rains. On the diagonal it is 15 ft...
Hello there, I first set up my son's room then he was almost 15 years old and he's now 18. At one point he went back to a futon that eventually broke. Now he is back in the Hammock and loving it. I...
I remember seeing a simular type of material at the big box stores. It was the bubble wrap with reflective material on both sides. The scouts used it for snow camping....
For me right now I use a 90 X 156 table cloth hammock that I sleep in every night. I have a HG Incubator long at 20 degrees. I am 6.2 and have wide in the shoulders. I wish that I would have paid...
Nice set up
It is a wonderful experience to share the outdoors with kids that want to go. In the last two weekends I have spent with the scouts on outings. First one was in the snow and the second in the...
Sure could have used something like this last weekend. Nice design
In my house we have 3 in use ever night. I have been in mine for the last 7 months.
Count me in for 7 months and two snow camping trips with Scout Venturing Crew.
Count me in for 7 months
Could you paint the stand to better protect it
Well I am 6 2" 320 and never once did I think that it was going to break. Now I for some kind of reason, could not get comfortable in this with sleeping at an angle to get flat. I tried several times...
Hoping to head there next month with the wife. Then going back to that area with my scouts in March. Where we go and end up is on them. As their Advisor I am just along for the ride. We love this...
I was wondering through Joanns Fabric and came across this material that is used for Drapery Linings. It was a layer of light insulation on each side of the mylar or reflective material used for...
Made my first Hammock from a table cloth for $15. Turned out well and I found out that I can not inject thread in a straight line to save my life. Hopefully save me from falling. Nice work on yours
I moved out of the bed 6 months ago and the wife if fine with it also. She has the entire king size sleep number bed all to her self. Says that she sleeps much better now since I moved to the other...
Hello from Steve just North of you in Hughson. Not a light weight packer by any chance. Dealing with Scouts you always have to be prepared and bring more than you need, but I am working on that. ...
I am going to try this instead. I like my UQ a little wider because I am a little wider. Also at 6'2 and sleeping in the diagonal makes the UQ fit odd. Thanks
Yes please I would like to see your pictures as I am a very visual person and new to DIY
Listening to all this, the anticipation is killing me. Mine has shipped and they send you that silly little link to track your package just to torture you.
I made the decision almost two months ago. It has been a wonderful experience except it has made me late for work twice now. Guess I got way to comfortable and slept to hard. I also went camping this...
Well I guess you could temp me to try them. Been looking at them for a while, but my taught line hitch that I keep tied for adjustment could be replaced. Thank you for all you keep for the community
Love mine, I even shared it with a friend to help spread the tarps greatness
Just got my Superfly and set it up in the backyard. I guess I was excited a little at the size and the options it had to offer. The Leader that is now going to use it, is going Snow camping with the...

Great hang during my Boy Scouts...
While visiting Big Basin SP with my scout Venturing Crew. I had to extend my straps to go around one of the huge Redwoods. I alway have a piece of extra webbing along for this purpose. You can tie a...
Can I get in line for this information also. Hammocks are just starting to take off in my neck of the woods.
Count me all in "I'm in" these will be much better than the pvc pipe I am using.
Thank you for all you do for the Forum.
I have been looking at the same one at Orchard Supply. Have not got the gumption to try it yet. Looking forward to your report.
I use 1in tubular nylon webbing. This way I can thread it through my Dutch Buckles for a quick / adjustable set up.
Ordered 4 sets of Dutch Buckles. I have a couple of Scouts that are now converts to hammocks. The Marin Spike Hitch has worked well so far, but time to teach them to tweak on changing things all the...
Hello to all. A quick message from a Groupon from my area for bug netting material.
12ft X 8ft bug material for $9.99. Just thought I would share. Order 2 and shipping is free.

Silly thought here and bring a noob here. could you use part of this cargo net and fashion it to the same contour as your hammock to hold up your underquilt. My thought process was to eliminate gaps...
