TrailSlug, I'm using the GoPro Hero 6 since it's waterproof without the case so it can get good audio while still being waterproof. They work well and I'm glad I invested in them (even though one got...

Ah the monkeys... I've heard/seen photos of that before. Might just have to do that! Thanks!

...

Just noticed you have YT channel! I think I have watched a couple of yours!

Paul,
I wasn't using a case. No GoPro's around my house. The main reason I don't use them is because of the case and how it kills audio.

With the type of videos I make (with decent sounds) I...

Thanks for all the great replies!

War Eagle!

raftgirl,
I used two different tripods. The main one on the kayak is a Gorilla pod type that I bought from Walmart for cheap that is working very...

Thanks guys for the kind words!

Oneal, I'll let you show me how to pull that thing around how about that? lol

I like the idea of rounding the drawer slides over. I've not been able to decide...

I bought one this week down in the Florida Keys and while I was...

Skinny? Could be. I'm pretty...

Welcome!

I'm a bit of a new hanger also. I to have spent quite a few nights on the ground and I don't think I ever slept REALLY good. I slept well enough I guess but part of that was probably...

Nice stuff! Im in!

Thanks Caveman and XTrekker for the tips.

-I did put the foot end a bit higher but maybe not 1' higher,...

I completed my hammock last week and finished my hex tarp yesterday. Went out in the front yard and set it all up and it went well.

Do I need more posts or do you have to be a donating member?

Nice job!

I'm in the middle of making my first DIY tarp. I am having trouble with the fabric reinforcements at the tie out locations. I'm basically sewing a second piece of fabric over each...

Welcome to a great place!

I'm fairly new to hammocking also. One tip I'd like to give that I'm still working on is getting comfortable in your hammock. Take your time and don't give up. There...

Yep, I like it. Looks like a really clean way to finish off a hammock.

Now a little studying on amsteel and splicing I guess.

I'm sure a lot of people will end up using this wonderful method,...

Welcome!

When you setup that ENO Doublenest pay close attention to try to get your hammock to hang at a 30* angle on the ends. This needs to be done in order to get comfortable easily. This...

How did those fish turn out?

Sounds like you want some DIY sewing projects?

If I were an expert I might give my expert opinion, but I'm not so I'll just give you my opinion.

I haven't seen any "kits" so to speak that you can buy with everything in the system. I think...

Wow, pretty neat bunker.

I just checked out those camo paterns. I have seen the a-tacs before but didn't know the name and I had never even see the other. I think I like the a-tacs better, not...

Glad you can get out and take your grandson camping.

I have read a little about treating your own ripstop with silicone but decided against it when some people had mixed results. Maybe you have found the/a reason some folk's tarps...
