Dale Gribble: I'm thinking, "new hammock." For me, laying and swaying in a hammock is like a steady morphine drip without the risk of renal failure.

They're really easy. I was intimidated at first too. But, it's not bad at all.Originally Posted by NewtonGT

Here is my list of NEEDS:(Too bad I wont get them in order...
1) 1-2wt fly rod (Might build one when things calm down.)
2) Superfly Tarp (I need a winter tarp this year.)
3) 3/4 high cross trainers (I tried low top shoes this year and have not had good luck. If these don't work I will be back in boots.)
4) Full length down UQ (This will be a winter version to help keep my feet warm.)

1. Top quilt.
2. Those cool looking portable chop sticks that cost an arm and a leg but I can't justify buying cuz I really don't need them.
3. Some really nice freezer bag meals.
4. Some really nice rain pants (prolly Marmot Precip).
5. A CF pack cover from Dutch (with an awesome pic on it)
6. New down vest (I like vests more than jackets, lighter and better suited for my needs).
7. Wool beanie my sister has promised to knit me for about 6 months but hasn't cuz nephews and nieces keep poppin' out of peeps' bellies.

My list:
1. Fabric and straps for a G4-like pack. (I don't feel like sewing shoulder straps)
2. Time to make said pack
3. Fabric for a backpacking hammock (yes, I have a DL that I like, but it's Huge and heavy.. maybe I'll sell it..
4. A Down 3-season UQ. or supplies to make one.

It was your vid that got me to do it
Cranked one out for my dad for father's day (and one for myself (I'm a father too, after all)). A drill press and unibit take this from easy to crazy easy to make. Black high heat spray paint makes it purdy to look at.
Next up: tyvek tarp, super cat stove, and Heine pot (which is going to be tough, cause this mama's boy wants the can, but doesn't want to buy beer (curse these moral dilemmas)).
Oh yeah... segmented pad extender. Gotta go before I think of something else
You're gonna need a bigger hammock
Well let me see...
- Down DIY UQ
- Down DIY TQ
- DIY Removable Bug net for my DIY Hammock
- Food Dehydrator (my oven doesn't go below 190)
- Vacuum sealer for dehydrated food
- Headlamp (holding flashlight gets old)
- New Hiking Boots
- Gravity water filter (chemicals take too long)
- More time to go hammocking
- Temps out of the triple digits for hammocking
- Spool of Zingit
Of course this is in no particular order.
