I think there are several things I would like to just say since plans are being changed at the last second. First thing, this is the second year in a row that a fall hang is being foiled by it's...

Ole Sammy JD is in for a fall hang. Just finished making some new gear this week gonna need to test it out show it off and have it critiqued by the senior members. I just got on this post and still...
This is definitely a start. I was thinking about writing up cuben material profiles. A list of cuben materials that tell the properties, and characteristics. I will definitely make sure that I tape...
I have visited to the cubic tech facility and have seen what I would have never expected. What most know of cubic tech are their 4 or 5 most notorious materials ranging from .5 oz to 1.4 oz. These...
I live in Arizona where cuben fiber is manufactured. Recently I accuired 20 yards of cuben not cheap. Planning on making two new tarps. Most likely they will have a eleven foot ridge no cat cut not...
I have thought about using cuben fiber as the liner in the construction of 3 UQ's I am making. I got this idea from Grizz's DIY underquilt ( http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6466...
Absolutely I live where Cuben is made. Its like being at the center of the DIY ultralight enthusiast dream. I have to say that the video will help me out a lot thank you. As far as your underquilt...
Found Cuben Fiber .5oz for $20, .7oz for $21. Picking up Cuben Fiber this week looks like the tarps will be finished before I finish the quilts going to use cuben double sided tape, reinforce the...

Has anyone visited the www.sailrite.com site and seen their materials. They have nylon .5oz $11.95, 3/4oz for $11.35, etc resin impregnated with zero porosity. Meaning there are no voids in the...
You make several good pints and actually very glad to hear you say threres not not a signify diference between the m_90 and 1.1 nylon. Mad do you have links for quilt designs? Looking for a design...
First does 900 fill have such a significant difference than 800 that its worth shelling out the extra cash. Going to buy 6lbs of down to make three winter under quilts and three winter top quilts...
Hey JBO I have two son's I have been making gear for so I have some perspective for you. Ideally if your son is carrying all his own gear it is important you do not sacrifice warmth, comfort, and...
Thank you all for your expertise. The pictures give me a great visual. I will be spending the next couple days sewing and cutting and pinning all the while checking in with some photos and probably a...

I am going to make 3 UQ's during the next few days and right when I thought I was sure about all the design issues I still have a big question in my mind on how my UQ will be set up. I am making two...
The ultralight GT is the first hammock I have had so I can not really give a good overall comparison. I kinda do not see the point in sacrificing a couple oz's for comfort in my opinion. Truly if I...
6.50 a yard is great and I plan to make two UQ's for my sons only the shipping on 8 yards is $50 dollars thats a killer from NC to AZ!
Just finished unpacking 9pm Sunday. We defiantly missed everyone who didn't make it and I think another hang would be great. The whole weekend was totally awesome as my first hang. I met really cool...

I have to say Clark Jungle Hammocks almost certainly are my favorite although I have seen some tarps that fold in front and back and close in on the hammock not sure which or where to look for these...
Thanks I hope to sleep in clear skies I will have to take into consideration the possibility for rain maybe though I'd rather not buy a Hennessy from REI. The reason I say this is from my...
I am leaning to buying a Hammock Bliss from Sportsmans. I have looked at them on the internet they are your basic hammock like an Eno and a good back up or spare for a friend or for the youngsters. I...
