    My knife is so sharp it cut the sixth finger off my right hand! On the plus side, Inigo Montoya no longer hunts me.

    Welcome Restlesss with three S's.

    jeffjenn pointed you in the right direction for instructions.

    Silnylon is a great choice for your tarp but generally you want a hammock to made from uncoated fabric so it breathes.

    Good luck with the project.

    especially late at night after you finished off that bag of off-brand freeze dried "curried chicken and egg plant" that you dosed up with Tabasco and garlic salt

    Ya want your hammock to be VERY breathable!
