Great to see so many of us EE users and lovers.
Mine is over 3 yrs old. Its a 30 F Revelation, back then they used 750 fill. Recently I went on a hunting trip where there were no supporting trees so...

Nice! Got any pics of it up hanging?

Ha yeah NM the cord is still attached, the machine usually resides on this bench / desk and is plugged in to a wall outlet behind the desk, so I just slip the case over it to protect it from dust,...

Sorry to the op for the thread hijack.
This was my mums machine, and I inherited it. I knew that this might get a few people wondering what it is / was. I know for sure it has been suplemented ( for...

I'm pretty sure the motor is not original

The case does close completely and you can carry it away, but the cord presently goes around the back of the desk etc, so thats stopping it from...

From looking around at all the 201's posted here and on the "show us your thread injector " thread, mines a little different. It is a portable unit that sits in a case, you lift the top off and a...

Thats a great idea with the domes, sargevining . Looks good too!

So I made up a single layer 2.5 oz climashield quilt. After thinking about all the suspension and how's and why's I could see that my original idea of threading along the side seams and having enough...

Rather than making up dowells etc with the larger industrial type thread spools you can just leave them standing on the floor, thread them on up to the machine and away you go!
My wife is an ex...

Ah thats a better tool gmcttr It goes a long way to showing the forces in play, guess my simplistic idea was wrong.:(

Thanks for that goobie, I had a look but it only accounts for a single line, cant quite understand the app as it shows 200lb force on a single guy line but we already know that this is halved by...

With fifteen pages on this topic I am a bit lazy and havent read every post.
I get it that Dutch doesnt want to land anyone and the ensuing lawyers at dawn, but dwell on these figures awhile.

The way I work my tarp is that one whole side is using shock cord tensioners ( 6 inch loops ) with the looped on guy line so when adding the tensioner knot I "borrow" tension from that side of the...

So I was playing around with titanium.... like you do, and I came up with this idea, and it seems to work.


I'm not much of a video expert so I have done a short series of photo's to describe...

Ha, rant over now! managed to track some down online, just have to see if its actually in stock at the store.
Quilt has come in at under 400grms

So by the time I add some cordage it should sit...

Oh the joys of living in a small island nation !
Just got from Dutch all the bits to make my quilt, hadnt bothered about shock cord or such .......you can get that anywhere right?
After 2 days of...

Yep thats pretty much what I want to do. But I take on board about the give factor when getting in Flying guy

I'm just about to embark on a UQ project, I see where most people use shock cord in the channeling around the quilt. I just wonder is this better than light cordage, and why ?

I was going to go...

I have an EE 30F Rev. The way the channels / tubes are sewn greatly helps how the down stays in the right places. My thoughts on water repellent down....... just leads you in to false hope, you need...

Havent read all 21 pages so forgive me if I repeat what someone else has done.

I simply use two seperate loops one is bunjee cord and the other is a safety line should the bungy overstretch or let...

Wouldnt the tag injector leave annoying little plastic scratchees all over the place?

Re the venting and button hole idea, you could sew No see Um on the inside

So I have been hanging in my Ticket to the moon hammock, for a summer or two now. As I have grown more serious about leaving the ground behind on hiking trips I have migrated to this forum, to learn...

Ha ha Silvr Surfr Thats very "enlightening" :laugh:
No, the reason I have omitted the top quilt from my requirements was that I already have a TQ and was trying to focus more on my other needs to...

Thats getting down pretty light fella's. I'll see where I get to once I finish reinventing the wheel ( so to speak )

OK thats a LOT of really good info peoples, I'll get busy with researching all that and digesting the information.
Here in New Zealand I hunt / hike mostly through the warmer months and if I step...

Thanks for that Craige

The exped is a popular choice because it ticks a lot of boxes when compared to the likes of thermarest
Very similar ( if not better ) R values and weights and designs. And they cost a lot less As an...

Thanks for the quick replies people! How do I find Sgt rocks posts ? I have looked up the users names on the side bar of the home page but cant see any Sgt's there.
I have been messing around with a...

Hi everyone, I'm John and I'm a hammoholic ( oops wrong forum ).
This is my first post so go gentle with me. Pretty much all I've researched so far tells me that hammocking is not going to get me...
