Looks like you have everything but insulation. Do you have a sleeping bag and a ground pad of some sort from tent camping? If so you can use those. If not then I recommend getting a cheap blue CCF...

50 nights? That's pretty good. At what age did you start him hammocking? I feel like my daughter is old enough as long as we hang her hammock double with one of ours from the same tree.

I just got my daughter (age 3) a Hennessy Cub Zip when I bought myself an Expedition Asym Zip. I also got her a Kelty kid size 30deg mummy bag. She was jumping up and down and running around because...

Thanks! I learned a few things. And I noticed you sometimes use a marlinspike hitch to tie your guy out lines to the stake. I have been doing that for years now and I rarely if ever see anyone else...

I recently took advantage of the holiday deal that Hennessy had on their website to get a free "Cub Zip" hammock. Since I couldn't find much information on this hammock (understandable since it is...

I do really like the idea of a miniature bridge hammock! I think it is probable I will make one in the future when baby isn't quite so dependent on mom.

For now I think I'm going to pursue using...

I appreciate you guys' concern over the safety of a baby, my baby. So I want to alleviate or reduce your concern. Please keep in mind the following isn't meant as hostility. It is not directed at...

A mini hammock hung from the ridgeline is what I was thinking at first too. If she would let us swaddle her then we could use a thick blanket around her and maybe hang a blanket on the bottom of the...

My wife and I have been hanging for years now but we recently added a new little lady to our family. She is 3 months old tomorrow. We have been brainstorming how to get her in a hammock too (while...

Excellent! I'll have to remember that for slippery line.

I can't believe those aren't mentioned in the OP! The larkshead is an obvious inclusion as a hammocker (at least give it honorable mention). And I use the Marlin Spike Hitch every time I go camping....

I added a diagram. Does this make it clearer?

The small non shock cord loop is to secure the cord lock to the UQ. It goes through the locking hole because there isn't a mounting tab. Plus, as far as I know the cord lock is supposed to have 2...

I have been researching UQ suspension a bit since I am looking to DIY an IX underquilt soon. In one of Shugs videos he mentions that some people have a problem with the UQ not staying in place at the...

@gmcttr She would kill me. She isn't a diamonds kind of girl.

My wife and I have an anniversary coming up and I just bought the perfect present for her. We have been hammock camping for a while now with the homemade gathered end hammocks I made. She hates bugs...

What kind of mask are you using? If you are using a full face or nasal mask then you might consider switching to nasal pillows, at least while camping. I've camped down into the 30s with mine and...

I have a DeVilbess Intellipap Auto CPAP which has a small footprint. It also takes direct 12v power. So I bought a 17Ah AGM type battery and hooked it up. AGM batteries are the type commonly found in...

My CPAP (pictured in the first post) has the humidifier below the cpap machine. I don't see it being too much of a risk to the machine in that configuration. It would have to tip pretty far for water...

Definitely won't forget. The battery stays next to my bed on a trickle charger, always hooked up to my machine as a backup that automatically kicks in when the power goes out. (I love my Devilbiss...

I have sleep apnea and require a CPAP machine to sleep with. Here is a DIY harness I made to hang my machine while I sleep. I will hang the battery for it separately.

If your treehuggers have a loop on both ends then you CAN use a biner or soft shackle to connect the whoopie to the treehugger instead of a Marlin Spike Hitch. It's just the Marlin Spike Hitch is...

I looked at the mosquito netting (second link) at Hancock in person a few days ago. It would keep the mosquitos out but it is definitely not "no-see-um" netting. It will let the really small stuff...

Hmmm... Something to think about. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Hmmm... We need some blackout curtains in our bedroom. Maybe I should put that on the project list after the hammocks.

As if there aren't enough abbreviations on this forum already. :eek: Well if we keep this up we will have our own language. Maybe we could call it Hammock Forum English (or HFE, :laugh:). So yeah,...

Yay, I'm excited!!! I've been wanting to buy some ripstop and start making my own hammock for a month or two now. But I've been afraid :scared: of the machine, not that I would break it or that it...

I would say get a pair of 15' Ratcheting Tie Downs from harbor freight. Just cut off the hook and don't cut the strap or the loop. Bring the strap around the tree, through the loop, all the way to...

Just thought I would introduce myself. I have been researching hammock camping for a week and am anxious to build my first hammock. My wife and I have always liked outdoor activities. In fact, for...

I was surfing on a non-related message board (don't remember which one) about a week ago and someone mentioned that he hammock camps. I was intrigued and did a google search. That's when I found...
