Thanks everyone.
CrackerJack - Worked like a charm! You're a legend. Thanks so much.

I haven't been able to access Dutch's website for a while. I thought it was just his website playing up on me every time i've had the itch.

I've tried using with and without the "www" - No luck....

Have you seen GravityOutdoors post?.

I'm considering building this now.... Thinking I might do it "Karo style" though.

Hey Paul. I finally managed to purchase some of these poles from REI. You don't need to add anything to use the tip of the hiking pole? Could you share a photo?

Welcome EasyGoer. There are a few of us Kiwi's here. I'm from Tokoroa myself. There are a few in Auckland and a few near Wanganui area.

Welcome to the madness.

Great!....... another thing I don't need, but need.

The double hook looks moustachey. The bridge moustache.... For the inner-gentlemen-hanger within.

Or Sideshow Bob...

Haha. Just what I was waiting on. Thanks Dutch and all the hammock elves.

Dat 4th photo....... You're a mad detail-guy.
Good stuff!

Hey Kestrel, I know this is an old post but do you have an update on your "Thermo" quilt or did you bin the idea altogether? I'm broke and looking into the idea.

Says "SS" (stainless steel I think) in Original post.

After building the 9ft and 8ft (and failing the 10ft) I'm happy with the smaller 8ft hammock.

I heard Brandon mention the closer footbox on his xlc intro video. Sounds interesting. After seeing...

15' hammock stand? Plenty of room to hang a WBBB.

Thanks for responding, Alogonquin_bound.
I went ahead and built the 9ft but it's too big for my 5'11" frame I think. I have to choose between shelf access or foot box comfort. I can't comfortably...

Brilliant!
You must have some super patience there. Total professional job. What type of sewing foot did you use?

I'm sure you've already figured it out but it'd be a piece of cake to recycle your Eno Double Nest.... Pull out the ends unstitch it and it's just fabric.
You won't need all of the fabric though.

According to the JRB link in the original post. "It fit's individuals up to 6'3"" or 190cm's you'd be snug but not overly so.

Woohoo, thanks for sharing Fancy Ramen. Gotta love a good deal.

I don't use shockcord on my cuban to keep it taut, I use shock cord to give it a little give in the wind. Piece of mind for such an expensive piece of equipment.

Seen this post from Jacob Conroy? havent seen a picture yet but sounds like he's up to the same thing.

Consensus seems that it's not hard to ship internationally at all, but it's just so easy to ship within why bother with the extra minute of paperwork. Annoying that your so close though.

The trees I hang on are generally the size of my thigh. Those trees are beautiful.

I still would love to see a video of someone putting 25' - 50' treestraps on to review hammock or hardware.
