Hello all,
Here is an idea. . . I am thinking about how to hang two hammocks from one set of support legs (with the TDS stand, for two hammocks I would need two sets of support legs)
I found...
It seems to me that a shelf connected to a tree is going to have problems with being level. I think that if I was going to spend my time leveling a cooking tray, I would use tent stakes in the...
Thanks for the help!
It looks like I will be using 2nd's.
I converted to using a full length ridge line for my tarps (I find that this gives me a better, more reliable pitch with less sag and less fiddle factor). I made my tarp with a tie out exactly in the...
I took a pic :D

Hello,
I will be making a new 12 x 12 tarp for double hanging. I have settled on a design that will have 3 seams running the length of the tarp. Given where I want the seems to be, I need 16 yards...

Nice tarp!!
I use one that is very similar. I noticed that you are using what looks like 5 stakes per...
I don't know where to buy one - my wife and I just make our own gear.
The tarp doesn't have to be a trapezoid. I just think that this shape is well suited for the double hang.
I have used a...
You hit the nail on the head :)
This is a potential problem if the hammocks are too far apart and the tarp is not big enough. A trapezoid shaped tarp is a good fit for this type of hang. This allows the head-end to be pitched...
Good catch! ;)
I run a line between the two trees and then tie the tarp to that line. This line doubles as clothes line, etc.
I did not know what a vertex was so Google showed me that Clark has some sort of double hammock. I don't know how that hammock works but I do know that I like using three trees :D
Another thing...
Hello,
I tried all of the double-hang methods such as the spreader bars and the over-under method. I did not care for any of these methods. The spreader bars work but they cause the hammocks to go...
Yes, tying the ends will work but, the spreader bar must be quite strong and the tie-off point must be quite strong too. I snapped my spreader bars when I tried this.
I called Samson and apparently the coating on Amsteel Blue and Zing-it is the same. So, after testing some knots with the Amsteel Blue I decided that Zing-it would not work for me. I assumed that...
Cavediver,
You seam to be confusing posting with PM'ing. If you look at the first post you will see that I asked people to PM me. I did not even consider the order of the posts. I only considered...
Cavediver, I'm sorry about the miscommunication. I specifically remember responding to your first PM about the tarp but for some reason there is no record of it :confused:
Anyway, you were second...
Currently, there are multiple requests for all of the items. So, they are most likely sold at this point.
THANKS :)

GENERAL INFO
Please contact me via PM. This way I can easily keep track of who contacted me first about the items.

Just put lines of silicone on the bottom of your pad.

I can be a bit cynical at times; perhaps I'm jaded. I'm not detecting genuine interest here. This seems a lot like a drive-by advertising thread to me.
How can you be "working on" developing a...
I really appreciate all of the contributions you have made to hammock camping.
I want to add that the above quote mentions the ideal way to do it but it can be done differently. When...
I found a website with pretty good prices: http://www.defender.com/category.jsp?path=-1|10391&id=311417
They have a minimum order of $25.00. The selection is less than APS but the prices are good....
I have used Permatex with good results. It may be a bit thicker than some may want. Personally, I like it and I thought it was easy to apply. I like it better than the mineral spirits method....
The mesh might hold more than you think. Click on the very first picture from "Tom Mogg." http://www.mosquitohammock.com/hammockcomments.html
I'm using the flowable silicone too.
I can't find it anymore; although, I did not search extensively. I did find it in hot pink though.
I have been using the Yale Pulse line for several years. I really like the orange color. Dynaglide has orange so that might just be the feature that puts it at the top for me.
However, sometimes...
The info from the manufacturer states that it is sk75.
As far as I can tell, Spectra and Dyneema are both UHMWPE but with different manufacturers: ...
Hello,
I was looking for Zing-it when I found Dynaglide.

Thanks for sharing the info!!
looks good!
I did something similar with my 12 x 8 rectangular tarp.

The magnets that are coated in gold are usually the strongest ones.
I'm using Amsteel Blue for my support lines. Since the cord is so light, I decided to use it for my ridgeline. It's overkill and I decided to make use of this overkill.
First, my ridgeline is...
I tried this method and I liked it. At first I did not realize that I could put the ring in-line after the rope was already through the hugger. Once I realized that I could put the ring in-line,...
No, I do not make a lot of hammocks; if I did I would make the jig out of aluminum bar stock. I made the jig out of scrap plywood and four nails.
Thanks for the info. I would give the term ridgeline a very broad definition and then use qualifying terms to narrow the definition for specific cases.
In the following patent the term...
Hello,
I made a jig so I could whip my hammock in a certain fashion. The pics are in my gallery.
Where is the glossary? :D
How about this:
Ridgeline = Structural Ridgeline = Ridge Cord: A cord affixed between at least two, preferably wholly or substantially stationary, objects. Said cord...
Youngblood,
Several years ago I discussed "nail knots" with you on Yahoo in reference to affixing elastic cord to tarp tie-outs. Since then, I have not really checked-in on the hammock scene (I...
Mr. Womble's post answered my questions.
I was hung-up on the term "structural ridgeline" since ridgelines in general seem to be inherently structural whether they are defining sag or holding up...
Hello,
I got interested in the "ridge line" topic. I have read the BIG thread and the patent.
I don't understand why the term "structural ridge line" is being used to describe Mr. Hennessy's...
