Nice to know Robic is working for you... gonna do one of my own soon.

Also nice to know that you can simply sew a channel rather than doing a gathered end. How many rows of stitching did you put in for that?

3 rows of stitching.

Finished the bugnet late last night. I had to test the hammock again with the net and my pad. UPS, did not wake up until this morning and i did not move 1" To me it says something about comfort.

It was not my original plan to add tieout loops to the hammock but after some testing i found they would be nice to have sometimes. Having the shock cord hanging when not in use is a PITA so i made some small pockets or saddlebags if you will. Because this is a DL hammock i think its better when they are hanging because the stitching could interfere with a pad when sewn across the two layers but if it had been a SL hammock i would have sewn them directly to the hammock side.

Great idea. I like that a lot. Have them when you need them and stashed away when you dont!

Final data
11.5feet long and approx 61 ½ “ wide.
Integrated bugnet.
One zipper #3 all the way around.
Weight including ridge line organizer - whoopie slings and stuff sack 611grams (just under 22oz).
Volume just under 2liters but can be compressed.

I think these data are ok for a DL hammock this seize.

First overnight test. Not bad at all.

Snowball that is one of the best looking hammocks I've seen you churn out. Superior work, and I hope it gives you many many nights of peaceful sleep.
