Here is my first shot at making a hammock. I just gotta crow a bit!
As you can see I cribbed ALOT from this forum. It is a double-layer 1.1 with polyester insulation between, removable bug-net, RL run thru inside per Headchange4u's sticky. DIY whoopie slings/treehuggers for suspension connected with 3" aluminum tube (no knots!) and self tensioning guy lines, extrapolated from the two examples I found here. Also, the ridge line and guy lines are easily adjustable thanks to Prusik knots. Lays so flat its like being in bed only better! 47 oz. with everything but the tarp. That's next on my To-Do list. For now its big, blue, and from Harbor Freight. The weight could come down but I think it's the insulation.
This weekend is the big test. A BIG one because I have never camped in a hammock before. Any last bits of advice would be greatly appreciated.
