I have a slightly different experience...I own and regularly use the ridgerest solite pad...I used it on the ground and now in the hammock...best pad I have ever owned..it is versatile and basically...

I second this...I put together a DIY fleece SPE 4x4 to slip my ridgerest into...it works great...I've used it several times now without any issues of moisture build up....the fleece feels great as...

I have it on my IPad. Downloaded it about a week ago from the app store. Hope you can get it to work...

That works! Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hmm..that didn't seem to work for me...83% of 120 is 99.6

I put in 99.6 in for the hammock length at 11.7 wall distance with 30 in sit height and I got NaN ft for the hang point...

I'll just go...

Thanks for the quick reply...

Quick question regarding the Ultimate Hang hang calculator I recently downloaded. Where it asks for hammock length what is best to put down? The pre-hem material length or the gathered ready to...

I had my back fused from T12 to L2 in 1994 after I was hit on my bike (complete burst fracture of the L1)...joined the infantry in 1996... Used a very basic net hammock towards the end before I got...

Hahaha...:lol:...

Up here it's impossible to find black...or as we call it "midnight opaque"

What colour is that? Taupe?

I put the Fronkey net together yesterday. Went suprisingly well. I learned a few things along the way.

1. the plans call for a 7 inch opening for the suspension to go through...I sewed mine to...

I've been doing a bit more reading on it and it seems that a few guys are saying that the sheers really do cut down on the airflow thereby slightly increase the internal temp...

It's funny but I...

Thanks for the pic...I think that would work fine for me...looks really good....I don't think the grey I got would look much different...seems the Walmarts this way arent giving me an option

I've read here that there is some more heat retention with the black specifically with the window panel sheers....but it seems that it isn't enough to worry about...

I live near Ottawa Canada and...

How did the OD work for you? Just in the event I find a similar colour before black...

I was afraid of that...thanks for the info...I'll be returning them and waiting for black...

Hi all...i am making a Fronkey / Cricket style bugnet...i will be using window coverings for the project...I've done some checking and know that black netting is preferred over white....my local...

I started with option 1 but didn't like the lay or the look so unwhipped it and went with option 3 and thread my whoopies through the channel.....much better for my comfort as it increased the length...

I was sure you had forgotten it was yours! I think I've passed the statute of limitations on returns....it'll now be proudly passed down in my family for generations to come...

Wind, rain, little...

Wow...that's still a lot of ice!

I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to tripping but it's hard not to be a realist when you see a photo like that!

Bubba, you are right on when you refer to...

Nice to hear from some "Boots" on the ground!

I'm still holding out hope...we had worries last year right down to the wire with all the flooding and road washouts but luck kicked in and we were...

Great advice that I should take.

Before I made my hammock I would camp with a goretex bivy bag during the shoulder seasons. I'll have it with me and if worse comes to worse I'll go to ground.

That's a good idea as well Tansey...

How do you find the warmth of just the fleece insulation for your shoulders and legs/hips?

The material appears buckled in the pic but is not noticeable at all when laying in it...I cut a small hole at the top of the main sleeve to help with pulling the pad to the top..the wings I sewed...

Here are the pics....

The black flies will be out in force then for sure!

Have a great trip and hope the flies aren't the only things biting!

As I've only just made my first hammock I knew that a pad would be my insulation of choice by default. I made a double layer gathered end out of 1.1 ripstop. I had originally whipped the ends but...

Been on the forum for a while while researching my DIY project. I've finished so thought it was time to say hi to all.

I've made a gathered end double layer from 1.1 oz ripstop and made whoopies...
