I finished my new hammock today and I'm so happy.. Been slow going, working on it here and there whenever I had time. It's 1.6 HyperD from RSBTR with an integrated bug net and an inside storage pocket. It's 11ft long by about 58in wide.

I went with crimson stitching and some red accents to make it pop

I also got some of the new poly/dynema webbing from Make Your Gear for Tree straps

First impressions:
I love the HyperD material. Super soft and easy to work with. Just enough stretch so it doesn't feel stiff. Haven't had time for more than just a few minute test hangs but great stuff. Also I'm digging the webbing from Dutch. Lightwieght and tough. Not flimsy at all. A bit thicker and stiffer than regular polyester straps. Haven't tried them with cinch buckles yet, that's next.
So on to the next project. A climashield underquilt from the RSBTR 3/4 length kit. Oh joy.
