I removed the HH suspension without ever using it. If anyone is looking to replace their stock HH suspension I will gladly it send it your way free of charge before it becomes something else or gets...
You have made my day. I will PM you to work out a plan.
Full disclosure - Although I am still licensed I am now responsible for traveling around training the flight crews and do not get to fly...
Wanting an affordable all-in-one solution so I am looking to grab an Expedition or an Explorer (Preferred since I am right at 6') from someone who has upgraded or moved on. I figured I would try here...
I landed a new 4423 from Jet.com for $107 just in time for Christmas. Now I need to order the fabric for my tarp project.
I posted this in an old thread but it seems to have gotten buried so once its answered we can delete this thread:
The cheapest I can find the Singer 4432 is $159 and the Singer 4423 is $116 both...
The cheapest I can find the 4432 is $159 and the 4423 is $116 both ship free. Are the extra 11 stitches worth $43?
It will be used for hammock and camping gear on my part and only light use by my...
So there I was googling for DIY Portaledge ideas when up popped HammockForums. I should have known if it could be made at home someone here would have figure it out already...
This thing looks...

That is one sweet hammock design.
I did not know him but my thoughts are with his family and friends.
Here you go this helps a ton.

And this for whoopies on sewn end channels:

Larks head the fixed eye of the whoopie sling through the sewn end channel. This will hold and still allow the slings to be removed whenever necessary. You will need 12.5 ft of amsteel for each 6ft...
I was scared to open this but my curiosity required me to see what a "brazillian hammock" was.:D
Agreed. I went right into making my own $5.50 in material vs $18 to save 10 minutes of work didn't make sense to me.
This is absolutely true. I'm all for cheap or free camping but our State and National Park programs are in trouble, the least we can do is pay $14 a night to camp there. Plus you are using the same...
If it wasn't priced so high I would buy one for fun.
I actually like the simplicity of my atlas for throwing up a quick hammock in the park just not real efficient for fast and lite moving.
I see you're from Worland I lived in Thermopolis from about...
Nice work.
Can you post some pictures? Also how tall are you?
I don't see how it works as a "crash pad" because a thermarest won't do anything to save your ankles.
Sweet! Congrats on the new expansion.
First project or not that looks really nice.
Agreed the Doublenest one link system will get you everything you want for about $200. Then if you stick with it you can upgrade individual components in the future.
I haven't had any experience with this hammock but I've had some bad experiences with the Texsport brand. We attempted a cross country road trip last summer with the Texsport SUV tent and it lasted...
I'm in. My facebook and twitter pages are business pages but I can do the HF thing.
My grandfather gave me a GI jungle hammock about 20 years ago and I fell in love with the idea of a hanging tent. Although I did some backpacking with it I was quick to learn that it was a lot...
Yep my phone worked fine using cellular connection but wifi to my network came up with a "server is not responding" message almost like my IP address had been blocked. I tried two computers and my...
I had this problem last night on several computers but when I switched to a different wireless network it went away.
That worked. Thanks for the review your son seems excited for his new gear.
It might just be my computer but when I click on your video it says "video unavailable"
Nice write up, looks like you guys had a good time.
Agreed. Not to mention the google searching I have done after reading some of these projects.
This has been added to my near future purchase list in black and red.
All of our camping gear is in plastic tubs with lids. That way we can stack them as high as we want without compressing bags or down jackets that need to be left uncompressed.
That looks comfy. Are you sleeping in the garage tonight?
I'm happy with mine. It's comfortable and serves its purpose.
I've visited and hiked on both islands. Take the drive south to Volcano NP from Kona and there is plenty of day hiking to enjoy.
Maui has a ton of hiking and camping but the best we found was in...
Looks nice. Check out Theultimatehang.com for instructions and a calculator for hanging it just right.
Sorry I meant to quote Halfastronomical. I can't display any HF pages although I did notice his FS post was messed up before HF quit responding.
Same here. Must be IP block of some form because once I turned my wifi off I could use my phone but my iPad and both computers on the network won't access HF. All other sites work fine.
Thanks guys. I said it in another post but I didn't realize how much I was missing out on until I found this site. That said hanging around you guys is getting expensive.
If anyone is near Fort Smith, AR or Poteau, OK and looking for a good time my Dive Rescue team holds our annual Cardboard Boat Regatta fundraiser at Lake Wister state park on May 3rd. I plan to be...
I somehow missed this thread. This morning we were dumpster diving for soda cans at work and making different stoves. Sadly I think while we were napping another coworker mistook them for trash so...
Back in '04 or '05 my wife and I (well girlfriend at the time) were camped out at the Wild Iris in Wyoming. My wife wasn't raised camping like I was so I told her to make sure all food was left in...
This is exactly the truth. I was happy with my set up but then I came here and realized everything I was missing out on!
The banter about statistics being accurate in this pole reminded me of an old Todd Snider song. Enjoy.

Do you have pictures of it on your hammock?
Also using a poncho liner or other pre-sewn layer prevents down from bunching up.
