broke down today..went to cabelas grand opening where I live and walked right past a grand trunk ultralight..$20 out the door. At least now I can see how it feels and start to learn a bit more about how everything works so when I make my own I kinda know whats going on..Thanks everyone for your advise.
For $20 you're off to a great start. Get 50' of amsteel blue 7/64" from Redden Marine (and search on here for a promo code, I forget it right now) and you can make some whoopie slings for it. They're easy to make after the first one, and coupled with some tie-down straps you're ready to hang!

every thing ordered for my suspension!! I am pretty much like a little kid right now.
I think the tablecloth hammock is a great idea and easy to do. I made my first one out of 1.9 ripstop and it was fairly easy (I had never sewn before). With that being said, learning the machine was a pain but after that was done it went well and its a skill that is really helpful. I would try to save the money for a set of whoopies if I were you buy or make, your choice. The tarp can be what you make of it. Cheap poly tarps work just fine, I suggest something close to a 10x10. If you haven't checked out Shugs videos I would strongly encourage and look into the marlin spike hitch. One last piece of advice... when I started I had a really hard time finding good material for tree straps. I finally used ratchet straps and cut off the metal. Just pick a soft and silky feeling ratchet straps. They are usually the expensive ones.
thanks jrs. Shugs videos are awesome. Not only is he one crazy funny guy to watch but he really does teach you quite a bit.
