News flash - If your head falls the distance of your height and strikes something in the right location and with sufficient force you will be dead.
For me that would be one inch over 6 feet....

Poorguy and I would be about equidistance from the Lake. Is anyone thinking of a community hang there in Q1 or early Q2? Summertime is no good for either of us.

First, if you are going to stick around you are required to start a thread in the trip forums with lots of pics of your hammock and KTM!!!
Second, if you went the "do it yourself" route you could...
CSX is still on a per diem as I understand it. The accountants put us on the good ole American Express years ago so you couldn't take extra money home.

I love that. Is that a typical design/layout for your area? Is there a skylight above the rafters?
All by my lonesome so I didn't worry about the key. The lights stayed on all night in half the building so I would not have to worry with a flashlight. It's safer that way since the restroom is on...
Just now saw this but am within the blast radius or biological fall out radius of Anniston according to that map. :scared::rolleyes:
I will have to try and make the next one. Have a great time...
A hang in Guntersville would mean paddle time on the lake! :scared:
Impressive. Thanks for the pics.
I would like to hang there but won't be in that part of my territory again until after the first of the year. Sounds like we have enough interest in a hang in Q1 though.
What do you think?
...is where you hang it. :cool:
Instead of getting a hotel room I hung out back of the office in the warehouse. Slept like a baby with a Wally world foam pad and light weight wood blend blanket...
I am hesitant about specifying pics concerning the kilt. :lol:
So how did it go and where are the pics? :)
Is this what you are talking about?

In the second pic of this thread on the single line suspension the material of the hammock has been doubled over and sewn. It looks like...
This looks like unbraided tygon tubing you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe's.
I doubt I can make this one but may make another if there is a second...if you don't mind having people sneaking through from TN. :D
Do you actually hang or just get together? Any miniseminars on...
Nashville on Nolensville Pike - converted.
Pulaski will keep their full material section until 2012 and will continue to receive more material. Hopefully some more ripstop will come in. They also...
Any decisions made on this?
Would a hang on the USS Alabama be possible?
If this is a metal failure is it possible both clips came from the same manufacturing batch and therefore from the same pot of metal. If so wouldn't it be best to discontinue use of the other clip...
How about a passaround? :D
Can you also fold the feet so you have a very compact package relatively speaking?
Denham Springs, LA and Tuscaloosa, AL - both converted already.:thumbdown:
I nearly stepped on this one. That is why he was mad. :scared:
Had to go with Plan B but still had a great time. Here are some teasers. Will have to get back to this later.

Parents have no manners and therefore their children have no manners. That is one thing bonding everyone here that I have noticed in a short amount of time, manners.
Below are what is found at Tractor Supply Company. These are less than $1.00 each but are significantly heavier. They are also rated for less than 600 pounds....
I love it. :D
Down here in TN we regard all that area as "New York," meaning the City of New York. Someone said on the radio the other day that NY would not allow any Wal-marts. Perhaps you're not technically part...

While 'coon hunting we did this with limestone rocks. The down sides are the weight and need for being careful while playing with porous rocks and fires. :rolleyes::lol:
Please look over my latest suspension set located at the below link in the DIY forum. Your observations would be appreciated. Thanks.
Page 2 has the latest pics.

Here's my latest set up that I will be hanging for the next few weeks in order to determine my next next step. I used the SMC descender rings and webbing to get this latest set up....
I love it!
Here's a camera tip - Wait on the lense to defrost/acclimate from the AC environment to the humidity and heat before taking any pics. That's a BTDT. ;)
Is this the bug net material...
What are you calling "no see um?" Is that a mesh that could be used for a bug net? I was wondering if it would be too tight? Can you post a pic?
Thanks.
Thanks for the info, Acer.
Pulaski, TN - They have a mesh that you can see through that could be used for bug netting but I wonder if it is too tight. This is also on the Clarence rack and a...
I appreciate it. BTW, SGT Rock and The Haunted Tank were my reading material while I was growing up. Those writers did a fine job of raising me! :lol:
Thanks for the info, T. I believe the rings will allow me to NOT use the ratchets but I will be able to determine that this afternoon.
I am bringing this older thread up for us newbies. It had some good info on the first few pages concerning definitions of work load and rated capacity terms.
Here is what I found at Wally World for webbing with a working load of 600 lbs and a rated capacity of 1,800 lbs. I wonder if that's enough for me and my pocket knives? :lol:

My only one thus far. Hopefully I will get some better pics in the swamps next weekend.
Picked up the next mod this afternoon at REI. i will be working on setting this up in the morning. I can't wait. :D

Thus far my biggest contribution to the forums. I am working on changing that but you gotta give me time! :)
Below are what I am finding at the various Wally World's I go in.

I love the idea. Can we get more pics of the goats?
How in the world do you keep them from wandering off? A goat that stays put up is a lazy goat that has nowhere to go. :lol:
I will have to keep my eye out. I may go ahead and get some of the different shades of green just in case. I may have everyone here over for a hammock party one night.
I am not a hoarder, I am not...
FYI on Amsteel in Nashville, TN. There are two dealers listed and neither carry anything less than 1/4 inch. One store will order it but you will have to get a 300 foot roll since they don't need it....
Thanks for the links. I will keep that in mind. :)
Hi bundy71. :lol:
First, I thoroughly appreciate your taking the time out of your trip to share this with everyone here. It has inspired me to document my river trip coming up in a few weeks. I won't be able to report...
