Update;
Hammock sold.
Bladders sold.

Hey guys, bit of stuff for sale (some to be added in coming day or two), selling as I haven't had time to use the gear at all due to my studies and need money for a extended upcoming USA (yay) trip...

Great idea, I really can't be bothered sewing reinforcement etc so Ill just chuck some tape on the reverse side, Cheers demostix.

I want to make some tie outs, I plan on using tyvek tape doubled over with a Dring in the end, does the dring have to move, or can it be taped in permanently? Cheers.

I guess your right but at the same time you could have multiple category's. Eg,
Hammock no netting.
Hammock with netting.
Suspension weights.
Food for thought.

Hey guys, recently when I saw Sgt Rocks new thread on his hammock made from Cuben Fibre I thought that's CRAZY light, I was wondering whether one of the mods/ admins could add a sub forum or stickied...

Cheers nacra, will use tape.
Will these work as Drings for tie outs?...

Yay more Aussies! If I have learn't one thing with hammocking it is that when you live in Australia be damned well sure what you want as you always have to get it from the states!

Hey guys, thanks for the responses!

Bump to the top =)

What is the weight?

I have a local supply of tyvek and am hoping to make a 4 season tarp for ground and hammock use.
Im hoping to make it with doors so I can close it in, I would like it to be lower and wider than a...

I'm trying to decode your message without success =)
I completely trust you if that's what your saying.
And I'm happy to take the risk of the postage system, I seem to be doing that allot lately =)...

Hey Demostix, was wondering how much (and if you would be willing to) it would cost to get 100ft sent to 6010 Australia? Cheers.

Does the Regular actually fit someone 6ft? (I know its sold).

Tempting.. Will it fit a Pinnacle 70?

Cheers guys! I expect the LOWEST nights where I hike to be approx 30 degrees and roughly 45 degree nights most hikes.
I'm really glad that they baffled the quilts instead of sewing them through,...

Hey guys, looking at getting a 1+ season quilt from golite, Im just wondering if anyone could chime in on how accurate the rating of 40 degrees Fahrenheit is? Cheers.
PS- Any un-obvious tips on...

And zippers break!

You could also shape the insulation on the bottom so none of it was wasted, I think I might give it a shot with a DIY hammock. Ill probably use insultex as baffles would cause lots of stitching in...

Lets say hypothetically if you had multiple hammocks, im sure some guys/glas here must have over 5, could you integrate the insulation that you expect for that season, so you would only use it that...

Has anyone, in an attempt to save weight, integrated down into the bottom of a hammock?

Its called a dry bag!

If I had a dollar for every time I had watched that video I would have lots of dollars., its great! As for the Ridgeline im assuming 83% refers to 83% of the hammocks total length? To make a URL do i...

Hey guys, so looking at my WBBB I now understand how the footbox works, I have managed to get some 1.5 ripstop locally and will do a 'practice' hammock. Its going to be roughly 126" in length, im...

Hey guys liberated mums old thread injector, its a Husqvarna optima 180, no idea that that means =P When I turn the machine on it automatically starts sewing at max speed regardless of wether im...

Hey mate, If I can replicate the lay of my WBBB ill be a happy camper, or my brother will be at least (its a present) =)
In what other way would you say i could get there?

Wow this is confusing!
Not trying to hijack the thread but a little help on standard setup would be great.
Im roughly 6' and have a WBBB with tree huggers and 6ft whoopies, how high should I put...

How much for 2X 3" sets posted to 6010 Australia, and yes I would love some holes in the toggles =)
EDIT: Will have to get back to you about purchase. Ill be quick!

I'm not going to do knottys mod, I completely agree with your less is more mentality SGT Rock, I don't need to worry about a quilt falling out :lol:

Hey guys, after sleeping in my hammock for the first time ever (a WBBB) and just generally searching the forum about, well hammocking, It has occurred to me that I need more education!

Can anyone...

Correct me if im wrong but wouldn't a well fitted quilt not 'fall out'?

EDIT: Is the triangle of material attached to the top side of the hem, eg the hem is gathered closely then sewed to the...

Hey guys i really want to buy a new or very good condition RAB AR top bag (Note it must fit someone 6' to 6'1" comfortably)
Im hoping to make a top quilt from it.
Ill need it shipped to Australia....

If I was to make a footbox how would I go about it? I'm just a little scared of them, I haven't sewed much before =)

Hey buddy..... =) I quite literally just got diagnosed with whooping cough this afternoon!

Haha, I mean how would i make a gathered 'footbox' similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6mjv0wU9fM

So ruling out Knottys mod how about a gathered side? How is it accomplished?

Hey SGT Rock, big fan of your ghost! Thats where I got the inspiration for this from. Just to clarify, my title was a little misleading, Im aiming to have a very light hammock but im willing to say...

Hey guys I had a bit of a crazy weight saving thought in regards to the hammock body and tarp setup.
Im thinking to save weight make the hammock from 1.1 Silnylon or similar, rig a 'tarp' of...

I want to do something similar but im looking to make a stretch side as everyone seems to call it, how is that done? Does it have the same effect as a foot box?

I want to do something similar but im looking to make a stretch side as everyone seems to call it, how is that done? Does it have the same effect as a foot box?

Hey guys im looking to make a lightweight hammock, im aiming for around 7 ounces (hammock body only), I would like a footbox or gathered side to give a flat lay. I should get away with single layer...

So how are the baffles attached? Do you mean they just sew them to one side?

Still don't understand how the baffles are attached to the top of the shell, obviously they're sewn on to the top, im just wondering wether you sew the end of the mesh to she shell?

How much for shipping to 6010 Australia WA (NOT WASHINGTON =)
Also how much do they weigh?
