Seems like the SF & Blackbird xlc are the same size. How's it for keeping the rain out?
What is the multicam?

One thing leads to another - I know what you mean on the $ :shades: I buy a little each month. Still need a top quilt & tarp. Thanks ;)
Zippers came from DIY Supplies - 40'. The covers attach at one end with 20' of zipper on each side from coil @ .35 a foot, each with their own stuff sack. You can use either the cover, the bug net,...
Makes sense putting the down where it belongs, really nice and well thought out. :boggle:
For some reason the hammock tie-outs are not working so well with the UQ on. They seem to keep the UQ from wrapping up and around the hammock body. The tie-outs just seem to be in the way. Works fine...
Tonight will be the first night in it as I just finished the UQ.
Recently purchased a full length UQ Blank from UnderQuilts.com for my Hammock Tent project.
The gas meter guy came in my...
Pretty Cool ;)
Love it... :lol:

Wondering how many threads this should occupy... :mellow:
The dog's face says it all.... ;)
+1 on the soldering gun, it seals the edges nicely too. I have a cheap one, 30 watt stick and just block sanded the tip to small knife.
Great looking UQ. You can get cord locks at WallyWorld for .58 / 4.
Where did you get shock cord for that price? Good deal....
Don't sweat it, your current site is fine. Just changing the name servers to your new host should allow it to propagate in a few hours. I've built sites for 20 years. The current site being black &...

Ok, after going back and ripping out the thread was able to make it look like it should have from back to front with clean baffles! That's me always need to do it twice.

Setup the hammock with the ridgeline attached, toss the material over project, pin it to the body, mark and cut away about 2" and hem on the zipper. Make sure the teeth are right side up. Mark a spot...
Yea, really a nice time saver having this UQ blank. I'm setting here trying to figure out the suspension of the thing. While the site is a great place to get the thing, the instructions haven't been...
Titi Creek Trail... My kinda trail :lol:
Myself and 5 friends drove a pickup truck onto a private ranch where they had a small pond with some big cat fish, somewhere in Mississippi. We hopped out of the truck and walked over to pond. On one...
Full Length: 72"
I have a down comforter, don't know the fill type, but it appears to be all down and that's what the tag says. It floats... The comforter has enough to make about 6 / 8 of these I...
Cool.. I like that ideaer
Someone gave me a serger, I just tossed in the garage. What a nightmare this was trying to figure out. Not a gear machine. :scared:
the_lorax > Lots of loven in that project, nicely done. Very nice...
I must be seeing things, thanks for the kind words.
Hello Mike, I know what you mean it surely does come with its moments of anxiety but still pretty cool to make. I'll make a few up and let you know. The materials alone run close to $100 or more with...
I dig it! Love the stove too
Not water proof, it needs a tarp, guess I was thinking of my tents that all have some sorta net & door and for some reason use them both :mellow:
Aww shucks, thanks for the kind words everyone.
Honestly, there were so many steps, I couldn't find them in any one place but here's the way it went.
Papasmurf suggested some how-to here: Very...
Firstly, thanks for the help guys, it's finally done. Although I've never slept in a hammock, I'm looking forward to it. I have a whole new level of respect for anyone making these things. It took a...
If you mailed me a free hammock, it would probably make you feel better :D
Oh, I saw where these are coming from. ContactCasePullOuts.com :lol:
Saw this on Kat's Oregon hang video, thought it was quite clever...
Somewhere along the line, the laborious and expensive evolution will push these type of hammocks over $300 or close to it. Never mind the Clark...:mellow:
Everything's Better Wif Warbonnet On It....
OK.... I'll check a few more stores and send them to you guys to fix for me ;)
Checked my JCP today... gone :( - Online $30. I think for this cost I could make one from various places.
Wonder where all these geese came from? Sure not on my table ;)
Hung it up today and really liking it :boggle:. No undue stress on the edges of the tablecloth fabric. Probably didn't need the shock cord on the triangles but might when I put on the cover & netting...
If the fence post are down in the hammock stand post about 4" with one hole for the bolt. They are working great and can hang my hammock in a treeless yard.
...
I know what you mean. I changed my project from a gathered end to a sewn channel end with 3 rows of stitching on each side and made the channel to narrow. I spent half the day yesterday becoming a...
You made the beast? :boggle: That looked to be a whole lot of sweat n tears. It looks like you tied in the netting hood section with entire side panels.
Thanks 4 the share....
I think you have one up on Shug's Frankin Quilt.... ;) - Looks nice
No lack of energy and money into these projects. It's rather hard to understand how you can pick one for the price they are. Thanks Papa...
This is what I was sorting of thinking about unit I...
Thanks 4 taking time from your busy schedule Cinnamon and taking the photo's, that's exactly what I was trying to see how that area was run together with zippers.
Although I haven't sewn it up...
Hello JohnS,
Thanks for the opportunity to browse your gallery, lots of good stuff going on there. I was looking through what seems to be countless threads and still can't seem to find a photo of...
I'm aware this post is a few months old but I would sure appreciate a photo on how those zippers came together at the top of the ridgeline and where you can acquire them.
Thanks...
Mostly my hammock is going to be for some fun in the woods but in Vegas we have none. This spring I plan on some hiking in Zion and the Grand Canyon where hopefully I can give it a whirl. We have...
Couple months old but thought to add a couple things:
This is a photo of a tablecloth hammock I just made and picked up a typical bridge style commercial hammock on Craigslist for $30. This really...
Set up an adjustable Dyneema ridgeline on this DIY hammock and found a very fine margin of getting the proper sag and touching the ground on this commercial stand. I have to really stretch the...
