Finally looked into the Dutchwaregear Chameleon. I'm convinced. I'll save up for that :) I need a new suspension system anyway. So I might as well bear with what I have for a little while longer than...

Unfortunately budget dictated otherwise. I won't be able to hike the Appalachian Trail this summer. So I'm planning for next year. But in the meantime, I have friends that I will be camping, rafting,...

I've been messing around with my hammock setup and finding that I'm not really a fan of a separate bugnet. I'm now in the market for a hammock with an integrated bugnet (removable would be a plus!)....

Just checked out the Beckett Hitch. That seems perfect. Thanks! I'll be using that for now.



The UCR is connected directly to my Amsteel continuous loop on both side of the hammock. So it's the...

Hey, sorry for not responding more comprehensively lately. Been quite busy recently and finally had a chance to go on my laptop to properly look at the messages and respond appropriately.

Okay, I'll look at some of the Kevlar straps from dutch hardware.

I should clarify. I will still be using the 1 in webbing strap from the grand trunk treesling, only changing out the internal cord for something lighter like the Amsteel. The majority of the pressure...

EDIT - I'm going with 1 in webbing now. Not using the treesling with Amsteel Blue anymore, so no worries about me choking the trees with cords - EDIT

Hello, everybody. It have been quite a while...

Planning a hike next week for sure. Will be walking all the way to harper ferry. The only campsite I wouldn't use is the Marsden campsite since its not free (nearly broke here anyway). I'll try to...

Tried the suggestion from post #4 and other knots. Seem to hold a lot better than I expected from what I could see. Couldn't actually hang in the hammock though. The strap seems a lot stretchier than...

is the ray mears method really that secure? I guess I am still getting used to the idea that webbings and ropes can tolerate that much forces even on knots like that. Guess I will have to experiment....

I have had used these kind of rings on my other hammock with absolutely no issues. Honestly, we do not exactly have any more financial room to spend on hardware beyond the minimum. Especially...

If I DO buy more hardware, it would be this, http://www.homedepot.com/p/qv/100121681

I've already used something a bit bigger than that for my other hammock and it works perfectly for me. I just...

Hi, everyone. I am currently struggling to figure out a system of connecting a 1in webbing to a hammock with a continuous loop. I only have carabiners (that came with the hammocks and presumably...

I've been wondering about this as I wanted a 'low cost' method of getting to the Appalachian trail around Harper Ferry. Thank you for the posting. I'm more confident about taking my hammock along...

Sorry about the mess. We just moved in a couple week ago and it have been a struggle getting everything put away.

Hope that these pics are clear enough. I'll add more details tomorrow but this is...

Quick question, where do I post for questions regarding getting the hammock and the stand to work better together? I had to tie the end of the hammock a few times to get it tight enough on the stand...

Whoo hoo! I finally lucked out!

This made me rush over there for the steel pipes. Unfortunately, the steel pipes (except for one 6.5...

seem like I will be meeting a few other hanger from the forum through him as he have been working with them to arrange a carpool to the MAHHA. So I've been chatting with him and it seem likely that I...

Any chance I can get in touch with you about this as I am in the same boat with DCAD? Hoping that I can get the opportunity to meet everyone here (particularly those from around DC) and actually get...

Just added myself. Thank to Floridahanger for pointing me here :D

Subscribing here. From DC myself and is trying to start camping/biking/hike a lot more. If I find anything, I'll post it here.

I have always thought that it is illegal to 'harvest' from trees along the public road. Can't remember where I heard this but that was what I had always believed.



I'm checking that one person...

Tree don't exactly grow inside our apartment well.

Thank you, I'll try that soon. Just gotta write up a list of stuff that I have available to get rid of anyway.

Okay, is it possible to ask for a local transaction rather than shipping and handling there? I had assumed that this would not be possible. As mentioned, my finances is too tight to allow for even...

Basically I simply do not have any money that would allow me to purchase any materials that I can be sure would hold up my weight and allow me to sleep in the hammock daily. I honestly want to...

I'm hoping that this location works. It's so close to us that I can easily convince my wife to come along. Thanks for the update!

This is the two concept of adding support so I could lengthen how long this bunk bed could hold. It will be attached diagonally. The bottom bunk will be removed...

Hi, everyone. I am currently struggling to find materials for free to make a turtledog stand for my hammock so I am trying to look for alternative stands so I can have more options of what to pick up...

Okay, I just was not sure which section would DC belong in. Thanks. Posting there once I get to my computer later today.

Hopefully I'm posting in the right section here. I'm currently trying to find a hiking trail near where I am in DC so I can go on a 3 days trip using my hammock (first time camping with a hammock)....

To sum it up, I know extremely little about fabrics in general. Sorry for being such a newbie.

I have just received a 90x156 chocolate crinkle taffeta from the tableclothsfactory site thank to the...

Already getting more and more addicted. Heh.

I also just ordered a new hammock with bug net via woot this morning so hopefully I'll be able to convert my wife before the MAHHA event :-)

Oh, man. Thank you! I'm already working this in my schedule and trying to find out more about this event :D



How in the world did I not see this before?!?
:thumbup: Thank you so much!...

Hi, everyone. I have not ever had a hammock of my own before and only have a vague memory of trying a hammock once in my childhood. Despite that, I am diving into the hammock craze already.

I am...

Just ordered the 90 x 156 chocolate crinkle taffeta for my birthday :-) Been working on my first hammock and have hanged in it twice using a queen bed sheet. I'm looking forward for the larger...

I am deaf and am also trying to develop my Lost Ear Studio Photography business. :-) Hoping to use the hammock as a way for me to lounge at photography shoots in the mountain and other wild locations.
