    a big thanks Too "Shug"

    I took intrests in hammocks and watch Shug videos felt it worth while to give it a try. I researched many styles and brands. Being a diy guy at heart wanted to try my hand at a hammock tarp setup. Here's what I profuced. A 1.9 oz diamond ripstop nylon hammock and a 10x10 silnylon tarp with reinforced tieouts. 7/64 amstell blue whoopie slings I made myself. Corners of tarp were cut from a military bdu jacket and sewn in. Hammock has a sewn channel in ends with 7\64 amsteel running through it.20140804_171020.jpg 20140804_172634.jpg 20140731_154529.jpg

    sorry about the odd turned pictures. Can't figure it out.

    I like how you customized the look of your tarp. Looks like you got the DIY bug ... I think the only way to cure it is more DIY. Keep it up!

    Well done Eliska. Looks like a DIY Bug net will be on your short list. What about insulation?
