Intro and staying warm saga...

[SGT Rock]

hey rock... you're no longer a junior!!!

I'm slow at that too.

Help a newbie out guys...an SS pad would be a Henessy Super Shelter open cell pad, installed UNDER the hammock? The GG pad is the Gosamer Gear I gather. I'm pretty sure the Oware pad comes from Oware, I figured that one out.

Yes you are on it. I never much liked the SS pads. Seems like a good idea in theory but in practice it just never did anything for me well.

Yep you got it right.

Nice stand...

I'm just glad I have good trees in the yard... I have several places I can set up with tree spacings from 15' to 25'. All with nice soft grass underneath....Great for testing things.

Howdy all. I just built a Warbonnet hammock stand for testing in the yard since I don't have a good set of trees here. It took about 1 hour to make and about $70 in hardware and lumber. I did make a couple of changes on it to make it easy to fold up and take to places like Trail Days or Hammock events. I can start making them for you at about $100 each LOL

Rock, nice lookin hammock stand. Job well done (As if we'd expect anything else from you).

What's that sucker weigh Rock? Looks great and really folds up nice and tight!

Thanks.

I have no clue what it weighs - but it a two man lift.

I started thinking I could make about 10 of these and rent them out at Trail Days to vendors at $10 a day. Save them carting all those stands from all over the US and give them a nice display.

Ed, Jacks, Anyone?

If it's a two-man lift, why not put some kind of wheel on one end? That way it wouldn't have to be lifted completely, it could just be rolled along.

Still have to get it in and out of the truck!

Picky.

I know. I'm trying to talk myself OUT of building one; I must find flaws.
