    Ultralight 10.5 hammock

    I am selling my 1.1oz 10'5 foot custom hammock. I made this hammock to keep in my daypack and just use to hang out when the opportunity arises. It doesn't hardly see any use and I would like to pass it on to someone who can use it. I made it out of 1.1 from DIY gear supply and some cordage from Dutch. I hemmed the 10' x 5' hammock and whipped it Warbonnet style. I also spliced an adjustable Lash-It ridgeline and made Dynaglide whoopies. I made cargo strap huggers and cut some arrow shaft toggles. Lastly I made a really terrible looking ridgeline organizer just to keep track of the bulky pocket items while i'm lounging around. The whole thing including suspension in the stuff sack weighs 10.75oz. Price is $50 shipped CONUS

    Organizer doesn't look so bad. So, this is a 10' hammock, or 10.5?

    Is it whipped with a continuous loop? or with the whoopies?
    I'd rather be hanging.

    The ends have a channel sewn in that is cinched with a small piece of cord. Then the whoopie are larks headed around the cinch. This way there isn't any stress on the channel

    What would you estimate the weight rating of the hammock is? I looked but didn't see one for that fabric.

    It has a weight rating of 200lbs (but remember even the strongest fabric can fail due to damage, misuse or improper hang angle.)
