I looking like I will not be able to make it I'll be driving to CT instead on a family matter. Batona 09 is reserved and paid for, does anyone know if i can transfer the reservation to someone...
planning to attend
Just grabbed Batona 09
Having Just moved to PA from CT I thought it might be worthwhile to check out south jersey's State parks
I believe there is a group hang coming up mid September that's not far from you
...
yes I hang the net and try to give it a good soaking every spring with a .5 % (sawyers) solution
...
Happy Birthday
welcome to the forums
i Gave up sleeping on the ground 10 years ago because of my back then 3 years ago I had double knee surgery. I keep a hammock in the basement for quick knaps and up...
I agree I never cinch the bottom the only bug issues are the ones that enter with me and having the bugnet treated takes care of those.
Thanks WV that's reassuring. I've been in and out of the AirWave hammock several times now while trying to fiddle with the Tensa 4 stand and it seems to be holding well.
Yes I've been using All polyester thread. Though after looking at my stitches i've got no business touching a sewing machine. I now have 5 rows 3 light weight and 2 heavy duty on my end channels....
I think the critters are telling you that you're invading their area and trying to get you to leave. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Wow, Thank you for the quick response and for validating my concern. I am using a Gutermann Polyester Thread "CA02776" though it appears to be a General purpose lightweight thread. So it looks...
Thanks - yes nothing wrong with being a little cautious. I bought this to replace a turtle dog stand that I built several years ago. Now that i think i have it dialed in I may buy a second to...
I haven't seen any posts about thread requirements for DYI projects like Hammocks, straps and Tarps I just completed an 11foot hammock using 1.8 oz AirWave and realized that i didnt give the...
Thanks I don't think i looked close enough at the daisy chain straps to notice the way they are stitched...
Thank you
Thanks, I wasn't expecting a blessing, just observations from others who may have setup tensa* type stands. The first couple times i set mine up the strap was under the leg and looked like it was...
As I am now living in a 55+ community I needed a portable hammock stand i started to make my own and while it worked great it was extremally heavy 35+lbs and clunky (not very portable) so I ended up...
BTW any one with Nut allergies
looks like we'll be rolling in saturday mid- morning .... Hopefully they'll be a few trees left
Planning on joining will bring myself the misses and a dog
Twin lakes is a short fairly easy hike and provides a camping area right at the lake.

Cant make the overnight buit hope to come out for the afternoon. If nothing else It will give the Misses and I a chance to break out the snowshoes.
My wife and I have been so happy with our Zeppelins that I decided to order 2 more for my son and grandson.
I think they'll be very happy with their Christmas present this year. :thumbup:...
Just moved myself from Connecticut To Oregon Finding lots of places to hang out here.
Thanks Gmcttr for pointing that out I modified the Top rails to put the hang point right at the hanger.
here's the 1st of 2 that I'm making....
In mid-September Me and the misses will be participating in an overnight at the Dalles Mountain Ranch located in the Columbia Gorge in Washington state. I...
YEA Shes finally converted.... I can buy more Gear
Only that i didnt want to take up so much real estate for the stakes. The wide angles that are in the original design are needed if you are hanging at an angle off of the 2x3s. When I set my stand...
you can also do a knockoff of the YATS. Ive been using one in the yard for a month now. Most of the time one end to a tied to a tree. sometimes i use a 2x3 on each end depending where the shade is...
My stand (post 94) was setup using an 11' Appalachian Hammock. Most of the time I am only using one 2x3 and a tree for the second hang point. What i found is all i have to adjust were i put the...

Understanding the force being transferred to the stakes is more math than I can handle. I'm sure a lot depends on the soil type, the stake length and Diameter. In my yard the stakes I used didn't...
Just Finished 4 ffronkey style nets using #the NO-SEE-UM MESH from quest outfitters at $2.95 a yard its hard to go wrong.
here they are drying after being treated with Permethrin..
...
So I just put together a YATS to give me a little more flexibility as to where I hang, be it in the backyard or campground. I decided that I wanted to use eye hooks and carabineers to simplify...
also make sure that you dress the knot so that strap isnt twisted

Wow that's quite the experience glad you made it out ok.
anything is better than plastic bags that tend to freeze into the ground and left behind.
I am also interested in making one of these. Can anyone have provide measurements for a finished chair. I'm assuming 29 by 60 based on the pictures i've seen with a 4.5" channel top and bottom....
I can probably hook you up with a set of whoopies. PM me your address and I'll get them in the mail.
You'll all still hear me snoring.
I can bring an ez-up also
Ditto for 3 hangers
nicely done
I have to go with a gathered end with a sewn channel hammock though my experience is limited as the only other hammock Ive used is a Pawley's Island Island Rope Hammock. which was nice other than...
There are Many great tarps to choose from. I run with a 12' Winter Dream from underground quilts. They produce great products and provide outstanding customer service. I also highly recommend...
@ CountryRoads, you might find it easier to use Google to search hammockforums using "site:" for example " spreader bars site:hammockforums.net " would search the forum for spreader bars.
...
not super worried just curious why one over the other.
I just finished making my first hammock with continuous loops through the end channel. An 11 footer made with hunter green ripstop from Joann fabrics.
While I see a lot of homemade...
