    Yeah I saw that video it was a tragic loss for Shug. I guess any excuse to make another one is a good excuse:) I don’t want to wind up on the floor in the middle of the night.

    It’s great , we have A/C year round because we are in Florida. And the hammock is breathable enough that I need an under quilt. I get a little calf ridge if I don’t get the lay right. The easiest fix...

    Looks great. I’m thinking about trying to break mine down into trunk packable pieces. For car camping. It’s hard to do since I use it every night instead of a bed.

    I am not an expert in any sense of the word. But this looks like a tension issue that I had with my cheap singer. I took the bobbin out and the part that holds the bobbin. Then cleaned and oiled it....

    So I don’t know if anyone really wants an update but I found the problem. I was setting the leg connectors way to far from the end of the stand. There was about 10” of top rail on either side of the...

    Yeah I think there was a problem with the top rail. From looking at the leftover pieces i think some might have been bent and I missed it.

    Just a note I am 300 lbs and set by bipod up in the living room on wooden floors. I had the feet tied so it would not spread. But they were able to slide together and bend the top rail. I will have...

    Here is a picture of it after I used the “legs” as the top rail. 182807 I had the stronger built in connections for the legs before. I may have to cut down the extra pieces to make leg extenders.
