    For what it's worth, on the subject of strength: I've had almost 400 pounds of people in my single-layer HyperD 1.0 hammock multiple times without any indication that it was anywhere close to...

    I used a different knot at the end of the constrictor to make mine a bit easier, as I wasn't a fan of the Prusik finish; it grips too much when I'm trying to shorten the sling. Instead, I used the...

    My process is fairly simple: I keep the bug net and adjustable slings attached to the hammock, and I use Dutchware Beetle Buckles to attach to the tree straps. The tarp usually goes up first in case...

    GadgetUK437, Dynaglide probably won't hold a becket hitch, and a double isn't likely to be much better; the size mismatch and lubricity are a pretty bad combination. In addition, the pressure of a...

    A different kind of pole mod?

    I made an asymmetric tarp from MEMBRANE silpoly, and while it seems like it ought to work, it likes to "ruffle" at the ridgeline. I'm considering making a sleeve at each of the tie-out corners so I...

    Well, I took a shot at sewing a ridgeline ribbon, and I wound up with a wobbly line and lots of puckering, so I think that's pretty much a no-go. I suppose I'll just have to deal with it for the...

    Asym tarp - add ridgeline reinforcement?

    I've bought and cut some fabric to make an asymmetric tarp, and I'm trying to decide if I should sew a strip of grosgrain along the ridgeline to keep it from stretching as much; without, it likes to...

    The slings that I made allow me to err on the wide side of fit, which is convenient; I can theoretically handle a 30-foot span if necessary, with a minimum of 12 feet or so. I haven't needed to get...

    I've been using a sleeping bag and pad so far, and I am honestly more comfortable with the pad under me than without; my hammock gets a bit 'hard' when it's under tension, and it can be uncomfortable...

    I actually have found that the 3/4 EMT doesn't fit very closely inside the 1" size, but the coupling I've got is pretty rigid as is.
  11. Another variation on the conduit-based hammock stand

    After seeing this thread, I took a look around the website that supplied those fittings and found these fittings (low-peak 3-way shed roof corner) for 1-inch EMT conduit. They have a leg angle of...

    I think this is probably relevant here. I also posted this on reddit in /r/hammockcamping. I decided to build a stand using the low-pitch 3-way 1" fittings. Here's a link to some pictures and more...

    Sorry about the delay, I was informed of plans with the relations and couldn't get out to hang. I used my post-sunset time to make a pair of tree straps, and I'll be hanging in the afternoon if I can...

  15. Better than UCR? Less cord than whoopie slings? More trouble than it's worth? A new design.

    I've devised an(other) alternative to the UCR or whoopie sling which may or may not be an improvement on either design. In my opinion, it improves upon each in some way.

    Whoopie slings:
