    Do you find the towel comfortable?
    Is it 100% cotton or a blend?



    Seriously though,
    Love the innovation Red.
    Good to see ya tinkering.
    Now I gotta go build another hammock, if I can find my owl fabric.

    It seemed a little small, that's the problem with cotton hammocks they shrink a lot in the wash.

    Keep look'n I know you've got a bolt of owl around there somewhere.

    Thanks G.
    Good luck,

    Nifty. I like the adjustability. I'm going to try this. Nice to hear from Rat. His posts are always constructive. Nice to hear from Gargolye, too, but for different reasons.

    Hey Red - I think this is a seriously cool idea!

    Who's to say that we're already using the best design for a hammock? What if there's a better way... ? I love the innovation that's brought to this forum by open-minded thinkers such as yourself.

    I'll be watching eagerly as this idea develops.

    Please do and let me know your experience, and if you do anything different.
    Yes, it is good to hear from Rat, good to hear from you as well.

    Thanks Klauss, the idea certainly has merit, I'm hoping the fine folks here will improve the concept.

    Thank you for the progression pictures of the folding. There was a step that i was missing when trying to get the mental picture. I like this idea and i will have to try it.

    Thank you again.
