BUT as I suggested...
I am taken back to a rather underrated (or maybe not)...

Wow...you are such a helpful one aren't you. You must think your 9911 posts entitles you to some sort of respect regardless of it being earned or not.
I get some stuff in bags and some in boxes...never any logic to which is which sometimes. Got a little aquarium LED bulb in a box about the right size for a large egg once. Got one boxed product...
Care to share something constructive?
I have one of these from Woot as well. Its okay...definitely better than the 8x10 blue walmart special for sure but whats not? The sack sucks as noted. I wouldnt trust it in heavy rain or medium...
I am a fan of the China sites. I buy all kinds of stuff from them. The majority of it is pretty darn good, some is absolutely the same quality as the "name branded" product it resembles. Very...
I am looking at building a bridge myself. If you or the professor want to tell me numbers I will take that and run with it cause I am shooting in the dark. I want to build one with a pad sleeve and...
Gonna bump this thread cause its pretty close to what I want to build. I am a fat effer at 285 so wood and lag bolts in wood dont thrill me and I also find steel can be cheaper more often than one...
I'd say its the same point as using dutch clips or biners...
I am inclined to just use the loops as you suggest as well...fewer moving parts.
Just thought it was kind of interesting garage find.
Yeah, I though about that but leaving them loose gives me more options with them and the straps.
Thats what I thought when I first saw it too.
Its part of a seatbelt system and its pretty thick...I'd say 12, maybe 10 gauge steel. I imagine its probably pretty stout. Its not really cut to...
So there are these little things that came with the kids car seats. They never seemed to have a purpose for us...surely some need them but I had no use for them. We kept them and the other day I...
ran in to the same thing myself. I had just put in the structural ridgeline and decided to pull the straps tight and once I got in one slipped, tore the strap and not quite gently dropped me on my...
Yeah, I dont like things pulled through my whoopee...not that there is anything wrong with that :)

So I get the 83% part...I think. 83% of the actual flat length of the hammock right? Now where do you attach that?
Made my ridgeline with a fixed eye on each end by mistake, meant to be...
Hanging without any weight in it and its a shade under 10ft...which is about what it measures on the floor...which doesnt make sense now that I think about it. I have a cheap-O 8x10 plastic tarp I...
After watching your videos so many times, to have you reply to feels like a celebrity visit :cool:
I want to make my own tarp because I like DIY, hell, its half the reason I do anything I do…also cause I am a cheap-*** :D
I have been looking at all the different shapes and designs and trying to...
well thats not far off what I am planning on doing anyway...just more webbing and sub two cinch buckles for two carabiners
no concerns on the Amsteel vs webbing being better or worse for the channel?
After watching many, many times the videos of Prof. Hammock and Shug I have decided on my suspension system…for the most part that is, I think.
I went back and forth between the various types and...
I have been lurking for several months now…gathering info. Watched all of Shug’s and Prof. Hammocks videos several times and will several more as well. Thanks you two, those are amazingly helpful! ...
Greetings from Pflugerville, Texas…Austin basically! I am not a “hanger” yet…been lurking and looking for a while. Woot.com put up a hammock for $19.99 a little while back and I bought two...
