Hi Rick -
All shipped. Thanks for your patience. You and your friends are lucky you pre-ordered, before they were finished. Now we have to raise the price, you you all made out well.
Thanks again,

Rick, I am sewing on my DIY Claytor today. I think I found a way to make it lay so straight you won't believe it. I will post the results in a few hours. Mule

You've got my interest, Mule - waiting to see what your idea is...

I am going to copy this and paste it to a separate thread, but here it is here too:
I'll tell you about my experiment. Rather than cut and sew on my DIY Claytor, I hung it up to experiment. It has velcro on each side so that the Speer Snugfit will work well with it. Again, rather than cut and sew, which will be the next step, I took some long pieces of velcro and pulled pleats in he hammock where my left knee and right shoulder would lay. I applied the velcro and a couple of spring clamps to help it to hold. It did hold and I was surprised. I expected the hammock to flatten out in the opposite diagonal from the diagonal line the crips made, This caused the hammock to truly be asym, but it flattened out where the pleats were! In other words it flattened where my right shoulder was. What it did was: where the hammock was pulled short, it made a pocket hang under that area and my head layed right down, completely horizontal with my upper body after experimenting a little.
By making the pleat deeper, therefore shortening up the side the pleat is on I found an optimum pleat of about 3 inches per side, six inches were taken out of the side by my right shoulder.
The pleat at my left knee area didn't seem to help any. By removing the pleat on my left knee it didn't make any difference to the way the upper body flattened, but neither did it flatten out my legs the same way my upper body flattened.
I took remote fired pictures with all the configurations then in Photoshop I drew lines referencing the angles from the horizontal on my upper body and lower body. Only the one with 6 inches removed showed a dramatic flattening effect on my upper body. Nothing seemed to lower my legs. They just aren't heavy enough to force themselves into the Pocket the way my head and shoulders did.
The next step will be to put a slip at my RIGHT knee and LEFT shoulder and sew a triangle into that area LENGTHENING the sides by about 6 or eight inches to start with.
I am the kind or person that may let this lay for awhile before actually cutting up my hammock. When I do it will be an 11 foot x 5 foot one I made a few weeks ago, not my double bottom Claytor type. Mule

This sounds similar to the warbonnet hammock?

So has anyone received their no-net hammock?

**greggg3** · 02-07-2008, 21:28

not yet! still waiting

OK, they shipped on 2/3. From what I hear on here, it should take 2 weeks or less for shipping right? So we're look at 2/17 or sooner?

They might even arrive any day next week? Does anyone know if they come by UPS or USPS?

Trying to decide if I should schedule an outing for next weekend or the weekend after that...hmmmm....

They come USPS and you have to sign for them. At least I always have to.

No-net arrived today. Packs small, feels light. Does have the double bottom. The webbing looks like it'll need replacing (seems too stretchy). Will try to give it a test next weekend -- this weekend is predicted to be dangerously stormy.
