    Great hammock there. Tons of thought and ingenuity obviously at work here. Like that pattern too. Love it when a plan comes together.
    I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.

    After getting a chance to watch the video, I'm even more impressed.

    The windshield design is superb. From the cat cuts and visibility and ventilation it provides, to the flexibility it has. I'd love to work on a similar concept, though adapting it to work with an asym design to fit my asym hammocks.

    As always, appreciate you sharing with us.

    This is a beautiful hammock. The fabric is stunning. I like how you integrated a honeycomb hexagon into the design. It has many of my favorite shapes. Also, all the loops that you attached look so nifty. Everything about this is well thought out. Thanks for taking us on a tour.

    Now that bug season is soon upon us, I am thinking about integrated burnets. My worry is about how best to do the net so that my dog isn't freaked out about it. My pup sleeps in the hammock with me.

    I like how you attached your net so that the entire half can be flipped out of the way. That would he a good starting point for training and getting the dog accustomed to it.

    The thought if asking my pup to jump through some bug net hole has me thinking it won't end well.
    I sew things on youtube.
    I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.

    Well done! Integrating a bugnet like that isn't easy!

    Thanks for bumping this one Jellyfish, I almost missed an awesome hammock!

    Great job Tacblades on a well thought out hammock. I really like the view of the top cover wind screen design you came up with to be able to vent and see which ever way you are laying in the hammock. The matching underquilt is just icing on the cake with the custom designed fabric.
