DIY Hammock Fail..

[nryche]

A few weeks ago I was out with my sons boy scout troop. They were doing their first cold camp out of the year and for many, including my son, was their first ever in the cold. I brought along my DIY hammock setup to show the boys other ways of camping. This was the hammock I built to try out hammock camping.. Its been my experiment.. tied, untied, re-tied, cut, banged, dropped, stuffed, spread, stretched and what ever else I could think of to come up with new Ideas. I have had it on several outing, but Alas this was its final..

I was too lazy to watch the whole video, but I keep a small spool of ductape in all my packs incase I ever need it, say If I get a nick in the hammock from my knife clip, I can repair it before catastrophic failure occures.
