My wife and I have done this a couple times now using our trekking poles. I just used a couple small pieces of para cord to tie them to the end of the hammocks. It's worked real good for us so far...

I'm in! :cool::cool::cool:

Count me in!

I tried it once and it kept me warm but my ol' lady found out I had her/our comforter and hung it so close to the dirt she was "upset" with me but I'm still here today but barely.............so keep...

Think I caught the bug myself. I got some Amsteel on order right now that I don't have to have right now but........I need it. :laugh:

I've always wanted to visit Florida. Thanks for sharing the pic's.

Awesome photos Holger! That is one fun looking trip. I would love to try a kayak someday.....less challenging though of course.

:laugh: :lol:

I'm learning on a "singer simple" thread injector but it's no where as cool as the oldies on this thread. It's amazing to me that some of the oldies are still in service. If I get they hang of this I...

Geez heres another forum project i gotta try now.

Thats sweet i would definately try it. I think need to borrow my sisters kayak for sure now! :cool:

Thanks for tip i didnt know there were different kinds! :D

I was just thinking, as i dont have a pad or an UQ yet and i'm still learning, would the reflector for my windsheild work as pad if i doubled it with an uq? Its super light and mine cost 3 bucks at...

Looks like a lot of fun over there on the east coast. Nice vid!

Hey I love my crazy avatar,don't be :scared:......

Glad your off the ground and welcome to HF.:D

Welcome from sw washington justinr! Love the indoor hangin' frame!

Did you go to horse shoe falls? That area is definately on my "to hike" list sooner than later.

So here is my first diy project ever in my life with a thread injector. Luckily my wife was here for me to bug with the "why the heck did that just happen" questions and there were a few for sure....

It's a Hurd super caster I got from my uncle because it belonged to my grand father that I never met. It was made in the 1940's and I think it was a prototype out of Detroit Michigan and my gramps...

Well here's my small collection of stuff in my "gear room". Now i need to get to watching ramblinrev's videos so i can start making my first project. :)

Thanks for all the great feedback. I definately want to pack as light as I can.

What kind of scale does best for weighing my gear? What are you using? Where'd ya get it?

Well i'm hoping to try my first attempt on a thread injector this weekend so i'm probably going to be right behind ya with the frustration considering i have barely even looked at a sewing machine my...

Wow that's a sweet lookin' quilt! Really like the olive color too. :drool:

Welcome from SW washington!

Kinda funny that I finally decided to turn an unused room at my house into my camping/backpacking gear room and then days later I come across this thread. How strange that I have both of the exact...

Cool videos Mr.Shug sir. It is fun to see what more experienced folks are carryin' with them. :D

Sweet UQ man! I hope my first project looks half as good. :)

This is going to be my first DIY project that I was going to start making next week so it was nice to have this place to read so many great ideas! Thanks to all you with the creative ideas for me to...

Mine not only stretched out real bad the one of the loops ripped off sending two nieces to the ground. Not far down though but scared the you know what out of them. After that i upgraded my straps...

Good for you man. I'm still lovin' my superfly! :thumbup:

Wow that's pretty crazy man.

Have fun man! I can't wait for my first solo.

I move around in my sleep alot and always have since a kid so sleeping bag is definatly the way for me. TQ's seems like it would end up balled up and kicked to my feet during the night. Being able to...

I do what tbone said and tie 3dead sticks together for a tripod and it has worked great for me. I look for sticks tall enough for me easily reach my pack from my hammock if I need to.

What an awesome looking trip.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

Sounds like fun. Hopefully i can make it as i've never camped in the snow. i like the idea of maybe a cheap "white elephant" thing....or in our case maybe a "white hammock" gift thing.

Hey Shug I saw that video where you came across that wolf....how awesome/scary was that? My wife is a huge wolf fan so she thought it was pretty wild too.
