DIY Hammock and Bug Net
Just got back from a two night hike on the AT in CT/MA - a test run for my new rig. 10 oz. hammock, 7 oz net.
Good looking rig. DIY gear always brings ya more satisfaction.

Good looking hammock. Is that a mosquito netting bugnet or no seeum? How was the airflow thru it?
nice job. Hoping to hit those same weights on my next diy setup.
A good caver never loses her pack.
Great job! Based on your hang, would you thruhike the AT with a hammock? Also, I read your info under your avatar, what is Ultralamina 32? Guess I'll go Google it!

It's a diamond shaped piece of noseeum. Air flow is not that good. Both nights were very warm. I found rocking in the hammock makes a nice little breeze if you don't mind the motion. Also I used silnylon for the solid parts. If I did it again I think I'd use regular ripstop or make the whole thing out of netting. I might try making another out of mosquito or tulle to save weight and improve airflow. I also discovered another use for earplugs.... They block the annoying sound of the little biters as they try it infiltrate!
Hits self in forehead. I thought it was a newfangled insulation fabric, and it's a sleeping bag!Originally Posted by avalonmorn

VERY nice!! Man... so much time spent on the AT, seeing pics takes me instantly back. Thanks for the post!
I think a hammock would be great for a thruhike of the AT. I bet there are others on the forum who have actually done this...Great job! Based on your hang, would you thruhike the AT with a hammock? Also, I read your info under your avatar, what is Ultralamina 32? Guess I'll go Google it!
