My DIY camo hammock

**bigred72** · 04-07-2010, 21:51

I am just waiting for the utility line to come in the mail for my tie outs. I patterned this after the WBBB. It is a double layer 1.1 (from sclittlefield's group buy).

It is 11" unfinished, gathered end (thanks Knotty for the vid) with Amsteel for the closed loops and a whoopie sling for the adjustable ridgeline (99" to 109").

Both layers are stitched together with the exception of around 36 inches on the foot/zipper end for my pad to slip in and the bottom layer under the shelf.

This was my second hammock I have made and a significant improvement from my first.

The footbox is smaller and the shelf bigger than the WBBB. I made a double ended stuff sack and am using a Mad Rock and Black Diamond caribiner for ease of connection with my webbing on either end.

My tarp is a 11' by 68" (minimalist tarp, not pictured), but it extends below the zipper on one side and the shelf on the other (I already have a tarp shelter complete with doors). The ends fold in against each other to stop drafts from coming through the top.

I would not change a thing about it.

Enjoy!!!

Looks very comfy!

The bugnet was playing tricks on my eyes in the first picture, it took me a good 15 seconds to figure it out.

Great hammock! Wish I had gotten in on the group buy. How did you pattern it after the WBBB? Is there a link?

If that's the second hammock you've made, I can't wait to see number three!

sclittlefield probably has more material... last I checked he was selling for $2.75/yd.

Yeah, I like that! Very nice! Camo w/ Green netting looks cool.

Where did you get your zipper? Are you using shockcord for the tie-outs?

Gulp, Is that a blood (or pee) stain under the hammock?

Just curious, what is the reason for such a huge shelf? There is only so much you can put in without putting too much weight on one side, I would think? Otherwise, it looks real nice!
