I'm a new DIY-er. I recently jury rigged a tool out of the spiral binding of a notebook I found lying around. It works great, and it was (sorta) free!
Is there also a "how do I explain my recent purchases to my wife" section there, too?
[QUOTE=SavageX89;1907642]Awesome! Looks nice and comfy! I also completed my first diy hammock over the weekend! Now it's a game of finding all the places to hang that I can!
Nicely done!
I forgot to say shoutout to Ripstop by the Roll for the kit and the helpful videos!

5 days ago I didn't know how to use a sewing machine, much less what a bobbin is. And now I have my first hammock! If I can do it, anyone can!
I haven't tried it in a hammock yet, but I like 21st Amendment's Down To Earth IPA. If nothing else, just for the packaging!
My lovely wife found this beer for me. I told her it kinda looks like me! :)

This is from a little while back, but I'm just now getting around to posting it. My first solo overnight trip. It was fantastic!

This is what I use too! Hard to beat the price. Love me some Tim Watson!
Living the dream!
Wow. Can't beat that.
I know the jury is out about whether or not you can pick your own trail name. But my screen name/trail name is Patapsco, after the river and state park nearest to my home here in Baltimore. It's my...
I friend of mine gave me a hammock stand for the yard. I thought it would be fun to get one of those "portable" hammocks so I could take it to the park and what not. Found a good one online at REI...
Looks awesome! Living the dream!
Plus he's just plain funny.
Greetings from down the road in Baltimore!
Thanks gents! This is helpful.
This May I'll be graduating with my masters degree and to celebrate, I'm going hammock camping!
Ideally, my goal is to do a 100 mile backpacking trip. I was hoping to get some input from all the...
I am also a newbie hammock camper. As a newbie, I'll admit I know nothing about the HG Econ. But, I bought the Jarbidge as my first UQ and I love it. It's easy to use and extremely warm. I prefer...
If so, I've never been prouder of this little boy in the whole 2 weeks of his life!

Thanks eyebrow guy!
Looks like a great hangle!
I have yet to venture into any experimentation with a structural ridgeline, however.
I got to put my new Jarbidge UQ to her first real test last weekend. It got to about 15 degrees by dawn, and I was happy as can be. As a new hammock camper, I love the simplicity and ease of the...
Thanks everyone!
That makes a lot of sense! Thank you.
Thankee :lol:
We started where the AT goes over US-70 and headed North passes Annapolis Rocks and Black Rocks to a shelter (the name of which escapes me now). Just under ten miles one way.
And thanks for the...
I tried this once in my previous life as a ground dweller and I found that by morning the hot water bottle ended up making me cold. Any thoughts?
Thanks, TrailSlug,
Budget permitting, I hope to buy a TQ soon!
Thanks! I changed into my thicker sleeping socks around dinner time. Based on some other feedback, I wonder if they may be just a bit too snug.
This past weekend a good friend and I hiked nearly 10 miles on the AT in the western part of Maryland. I took the opportunity to put my hammock set up to its first real test. I can't express how...
Hello fellow "name yourself after a river" hammock camper!
;)
I've never sewn a thing in my life and I feel like I am already getting the bug, too! I wish I had a picture of my father-inlaw's face when I asked my mother-in-law if I could borrow her sewing...
Thanks! I likely won't be able to make it this time. Is there a way to see these kinds of events here on the forum?
I'm very new to hammock life, but I purchased the Roo based on REI's customer rating. I absolutely love it. It's easy and comfortable. Also, I love the color!
Hello!
I live in Baltimore, MD and I am brand new to hammock life. So, I am also brand new to HammockForums.net
I'm still working on getting enough gear for camping. My plan is to start with...
