Two years ago I traveled cross country and hung inside my Ford Explorer with a DIY hammock. I put one end out the back hatch and slammed it shut and did the same with the passenger door. I slept...

Went to Walmart and just happened across a bunch of digital camo. I don't know the weight. It said,"unknown" as a description. I think it's treated too!

I put some water in it and it held for 15'...

I would like to take my hammock with but will be limited to just 34 pounds so weight will be precious.

I finally had a chance to spend a full night hanging last weekend. I found a nice spot by a river here in NW Montana. I slept GREAT! The biggest problem I had was some bone head forgot the mosquito...

I never went to WB since I live on the other side of the country but I do know how disapointing it is when forums get out of hand and a small faction of people ruin it for the majority. Hummm. Sounds...

I got my mosquito set up last night and was sleeping pretty good (no tarp-nice night). My mistake was taken my yorkie with me. He growled at every little noise and kept waking me up- plus he is a big...

Though I'm already on there I may be leaving the US for a year for a job (Iraq). Can I put that on there?

Well, let's not get to excited. I found some dollar a yard polyester at wally world. I put a fly net on it with a zipper. Problem is the material width is too narrow and the hammock is too short and...

Yep, it snowed all day here in Kalispell, Montana and only got up to about 45. Not a bad day otherwise. I've heard rummers that a big bright thing that puts off heat in the sky exists in some parts...

I got one last year and was not impressed. The mosquito netting ripped near the zipper the first time I got in it and the strings tangle something fierce on the ends. It was not a good introduction...

Well, today it was maybe 45 degrees and it SNOWED all day! Welcome to NW Montana.

I told you it was early and my brain had not awoke yet. I got it now.

?
Maybe it's too early in the morning but I'm not catching on here.

I've already got a long list of things I want to make. I'm not sure about a hammock yet. I've really being eyeing a Hennesy.

Internet research. I'm using an 18. I got a lot of my information here. diytactical.com - Home

I took the machine in to a sewing center to have them look at it. It does need a tune up and the...

This is the site I've been using. I'm going to take it in to someone who knows more than I... which is to say I know enough to know that I don't know what I'm doing- if you know what I mean.

Wow! thanks for all the replies.

When was its last tune up?
I was told it was tuned up before I bought it via ebay. The person I bought from had a very high rating so I, “assume” she is ok.

Is...

I bought a Singer 185K. It was made in 1958 and is in great shape. My problem is that the thread keeps getting bundled up in the needle. I've tried adjusting my tension on it with no luck.

Any...

I've used these as a plumber but not with aluminum I beans.

LOL!!!
Post a pic of her and if we see her wondering around we'll drop you a note. Try looking in Florida. All the old folks seem to end up there. My dad's in Daytona Beach and will be 81 next month.

That sucks! I'm glad you are ok but seeing the bike on the ground 'bout bought tears to my eyes.

As a plumber, I can relate to what the guy was saying. Even though a lot of my work is hiding in the walls I want to do a good looking job. I know, it holds water and crap! How can you make that look...

Thanks for the help you two. That ripstop is probably the same stuff that I saw. I'm sure it's the lighter weight stuff.

True. I'm very leerily of strangers when camping. I have no problem talking with 'em and enjoying their company in their or our camp. Heck, that's one of the joys of camping. But I am always vigilant.

My mom was 39 and holding for sooooo many years that I'm not sure how old she was when she passed away.:rolleyes:

Show off!;)

Love it! I'm an OGT-old guy in training. That half century mark is just 1 1/2 short years away for me.

Amen brother! Or maybe a Kel Tec P3AT.

I saw some camo ripstop on sale at Walmart but it did not list its weight-ie. 1.1, 1.9 et. Is there any way to tell by looking at it.

Hey neighbor. Thanks for making me feeling a little less lonely.:)

OK, OK! Ya, maybe I'm just whining too much. It is beautiful here. We were just at Glacier Park this weekend though there is still too much snow to go too far.

I'll shut up now.:)

I just checked the Goggle map showing our locations again and I feel so lonely up here all alone in Northwestern Montana. I guess I'll just have to start a trend here.

My wife and daughter call me a dork all the time but luckily it has not stuck as a nick name, and Studmuffin is just not manly enough.

Thanks.

Are they hammockers? Not yet.:D My oldest daughter is on her own now so I dought if she'll take that up anytime soon.

Merry Christmas from me and my family.

Though I don't post much I read a LOT here. Thanks to all.

Buy it now only $3.00. Of course shipping is $28.30!!!:eek:

This must be laced with lead to cost so much for shipping!:mad:
...

Ditto's what he said.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Less than one year. I haven't spent the night in one yet. I bought a cheap one but it didn't hold up. Lesson learned.

And weight per oz for tarp should be?:)

Thanks very much!

I just found this one. Less expensive and camo!

What is the lightest per oz that I should go? I'm 5'7" and 180lbs.

Thanks

I found this on ebay. Would this be a good ripstop for a hammock?
Thanks...

I researched this here with no answer so I go. The underquilts or Peapods look great! Is there ever a problem of them getting exposed to rain being open like they are? I under stand that a tarp...

I guess I could go side by side in separate hammocks and give my daughter a bunk bed hammock. Kinda like Gilligan and the Skipper.

New guy here. I have a cheap hammock that never made it through the night before ripping.:( I'm reading intently about what to get here. thanks for all the good info.

Is there a good sleeping...

I just joined yesterday and I just thought you all were just so friendly sending me a PM already. Hi Jennette. Good riddens Jenette!

I spent about twelve years in Alaska and did a lot of backpacking and never had a problem with bears. If they know you're there they try to be elsewhere.
