    Congrats on the new hammock. Hope all turns out well. What material did you make it from?

    Make sure you hang it low the first time, and don't do it over concrete! I found out the hard way (literally) on my first DIY hammock when my first attempt at whipping let loose.

    Congrats, and welcome!

    Alright. it has been tested. I like it.

    Here are the photos.











    All I have to do is re-whip it with rope instead of zip-ties, get some webbing, and get real attachments for the bugnetting.

    Good idea on the crash pad - and what's with those funky socks?
