Here's a pic of me in my first DIY hammock. It's a little shy of 10 feet long and its made from 1.9 oz ripstop that I got on ebay. I'm using two 8 inch continuous loops at the ends connected to my DIY whoopy slings (also a first for me) which connect to my 1 inch poly tree straps via some aluminum toggles i cut from an old arrow shaft. I'm 6 foot and 250, so far everything is working great! This weekend my matching hex tarp should be completed as well. Thanks!
Whooo, nice looking hammock!
I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!
I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.
It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
Thanks man! I cant wait to get more gear made.
Nice one Wolfman. Feels good laying in one you have made yourself doesn't it.
Yes it does especially after I hurt my back a couple years ago, its almost therapeutic.
well, now you're addicted to DIY and it won't be your last hammock!
My head is an animal
looks good. Hope it helps your back.
YMMV
HYOH
Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)
Get hooked up online with Hancocks Fabrics, every week you get an online coupon for 40-50% off fabric, makes that $7.99 a yard a good deal!
Congrats on the new sleeper, you will enjoy the benefits to the spine!
.... the Aardvark (earth pig)... a rather unremarkable creature whose sole claim to fame is that it is the first animal listed in the dictionary.
