so my girlfriend is thinking she wants her own hammock. I mentioned I saw pictures of some setups that woman are using on her that were..colorful (pinks and such).
I am looking for pictures and general setup info that women are using. she will be starting 3 season hammocking this spring with us(Whiskeyjack's clan and myself).
info wanted;
material of hammock and vendor
insulation info
backpack info
and the rest I will make her create a profile on here and ask for herself

I made one for my daughter from a turquoise tablecloth. She thinks it's beautiful...now just to get her to go camping with me.

DIY tablecloth for my daughter:

With DIY crypticcricket/fronkey bugnet:

If DIY isn't your thing I'm sure one of the cottage vendors here would custom make a hammock. The insulation, not so pink but UGC has done some nice custom work for others. Backpacks should be pretty easy to find in 'girly' colors. I know ULA offers their packs in purple and many people really like their packs.

Here's a picture of my latest DIY bridge. (The bugnet has shockcord that attaches to the CRL of the tarp.)

I have a $10 emerald green gathered end that I got off of Amazon(Hammocks4All), it works really well and is very pretty. I also have some gray material that I plan to make into a double, if I ever get the motivation. For a pack I use an old external frame pack given to me by a much loved Marine.

Radden Marine Supply, Inc has red dyneema that was actually hot pink when I got it. They said that is just the way it is.

I guess it's okay if she wants a 'pretty' hammock...

Me, I've always been one that takes function over pretty.

But then I also shop for vehicles based on mileage and condition and not the colour or the bells and whistles.

Brandon at Warbonnet did some pink Blackbirds for Breast Cancer Awareness. I just wrote him this week, and he had a few left. I bought one for my wife, and it should arrive any day now. He probably still has one or two. I'll post a pic once it shows up.
