Hey yall,
I put a ridgeline on my hammock. made a pop can stove. made a pocket for my ridgeline. and now im wondering what else i can make. looking for some suggestions.
i have most of a tarp leftover from where i made the pocket. its nylon and about 8' by 9' left. what should i make out of it?
Or any random LOW COST DIY things i should do while i have some time off work?
How about some tarp skins or a ridgeline organizer or a peak bag for the hammock?

the peak bag is a good idea. think ill do that next. but that wont take long or a lot of my material. any other ideas? i was also wondering if i have enough fabric to make like a smaller hammock for my gear? and should it be over or under my sleeping hammock?

well heres what i decided to do today... i made a small hammock for gear and i also made one to go under my hammock. maybe lay a sleeping bag inside of it? ill post some pics on this thread as soon as i figure it out! i need some feedback too see if i can improve it some more! thanks
ok guys i think i can do it this way. i know the rope isnt up to standard to say the least, but i wanted to make it before i used real rope to make sure it was how i wanted it. i think it turned out fine. really good actually! im going to add some kind of rope and try it all out as soon as i can! and like i said any ideas would be very grateful! thanks!

ok now comes where i need some help! i made all this today. i put a sleeping bag in between the two hammocks and im still chilly on my back? is it cause is not totally tight between them?
get someone you trust (a lot!) to feel around for air gaps while you lie in the hammock. The bag should be snug up to the hammock body in all places.

i did, theres gaps. but i cant seam to figure out how to make it any tighter. i tried even pulling the sides up over the top of the hammock? should i start over or am i missing something?
