Is this still available?
A second welcome from TX. This time from North TX. We have an exchange student with us this year from Norway. We are learning so much about your country. He and his father actually hammock camp -...
I encourage you to keep trying to make it work. I have an expensive Chameleon hammock, several Dutch netless hammocks, and many that I’ve made. The Ridge Outdoor hammock is well made and works great...
I followed these instructions:
adventurealan.com
It works very well for me!
I did some searching on both BPL and gofundme and could not find the information. Can someone post it here. I would like to help out. Thank you.
If you decide to go down the rabbit hole of splicing, here are some great videos to start: Tac Blades.
I will tell you that IMHO it is easier and more fun than I could have imagined!
It is very common to use continuous loops on the gathered end of the hammock. Here is an option: dutchwaregear.
You can look at dogbones as well.
I would suggest that you use suspension that is the LEAST complex as possible. Another good alternative is tree strap / whoopie sling / Dutch hook (or marlin spike hitch). I have used this setup...

Hopefully this helps you out.
I’ll take it.
I forgot to add some video highlights:

It was a great trip! Was not too sure what to expect and the trip did not disappoint. Hope you enjoy the video.
Thank you. I have not been canoeing in years and was surprised how much I enjoy kayaking. Being out on the water is both challenging and relaxing. It was just a natural fit to add some overnight...
I have had the dream of doing this trip for some time now. Purchased a kayak last year and got used to it on some day trips. Since then, I have researched kayak camping fairly hard. Last month, a...
+1 Can’t stress enough how much a good quality thread will make a difference.
I usually order 12 feet and end up with 11’4” hammocks after sewing. I have both wide (for home/car camping) and 58-60...
I will add this great DIY video link. I modify it by making it longer and adding a Velcro opening on one end. I have made 4 of these for our family and used them for eight years or so. They are...
This made me laugh. Seems like you are foreshadowing...
This was so timely. I was using a tow strap to pull out fence posts yesterday. Somehow it got a knot in it that was pulled crazy TIGHT. Used a 20 lb sledgehammer to flatten it out. Definitely...
I’m going to pile on here. Sounds scary to go out in the woods and meet a bunch of strangers you found on the Internet. Don’t be! This is a very welcoming bunch. Even if you only made a day trip,...

Datboijon, this might be a great opportunity. Depends...
Material will not break in. At 6’2”, I believe an ENO would be smallish. You should explore taking it back and going for a longer/wider hammock. You can usually pick up a netless for $30-40. I...
I like Tac Blades on YouTube for splicing information. Also, I took advantage of this offer twice now:
Cheap(ish) Amsteel – 600'

Received these instructions with my tarp. I did not seam seal the ridgeline. Dumped a ton of water on it and had no leaks. Probably playing with fire…. [emoji23]176609
Of the two weekends listed, I would prefer the 30th. If you were looking for feedback...
TX fall hang would be back-to-back on the 16th. Not sure if I could make that happen.
I have always made my own and make them longer for this exact reason. Notice the difference between the store-bought ENO and what I made. Also, I make the ends a different color so you can can find...
I still have a GT single and double purchased a few years back. My kids slept in them every once in a while up until last year. They are very well made and are durable. In fact, the double was used...
That is my gateway drug (I mean hammock). However, it ended up costing me a lot more than $25! [emoji41]

I'll take it - the whole shebang.

I’ll take it. Number 1 uq protector.
Edit: If you’ll ship to TX. [emoji38]
Welcome to the addiction from a fellow North TX hanger. Check out the Fall Hang at Fairfield Lake State Park in November. You will not be disappointed in the Chameleon. I have a bit of gear and am...
I use CRL with Tarp Flyz and Dutch Hook as shown here:

Learned this a few years back - ironically from The Ultimate Hang. It has always worked well for me.
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Love the pictures!!
+1. I bought mine at Walmart. I use a plastic cutting board and always keep the guard on the knife when not in use. Still very sharp and it has been through a bunch of Amsteel already.
Absolutely interested. I spent some time in Ouachita National Forest in the past. It is beautiful there!
What size is this pack? I might have missed it...

Large plastic bins here. Not folded though - laid however it fits. One ENO 30deg synthetic, one HG 20deg UQ, and one JRB 20deg TQ and there is still space left over (50 gallon tote). I use another...
This is timely. My favorite DIY tarp is showing some pinholes. I just noticed them after returning from my last trip this past weekend. Too many thorny vines out there - next time I go I am taking an...
Always learning something new here. Thanks for sharing!
If this doesn’t work out, I have one I can sell you. It is blue and 11’4” x 60” with sewn channels.

Thank you. I ordered both the blue and black material. Looking forward to more time with this one!
Did not know there is another material being announced. I have to stop - can’t add any more...
I know. This why I bought the material originally. I was being a little facetious. Being an Engineer, I definitely appreciate safety factor or design factor (whatever they are calling it these...
Made first hammock with this material. Thought it was fairly easy to sew. Used Tera 80 thread and 70/10 universal needle. Ordered 12 feet and without any cutting ended up with 11’4” x 60” wide. ...
I paid $28 at the end of June for poles, wire cable, and clamps in TX. I would recommend skipping the wire cable. It is a PITA and catches on fabric at the least opportune times. Use brass...
I don't want anyone thinking it didn't happen... :lol:

I cannot find one right now. I used a 12 foot tarp with no ridgeline. D-rings were hooked directly to line holding apex of stand together. It was a really easy and slick setup. Tied head end to...
In my opinion, there is no need to look any further than here:
DYI Tensahedron Hammock Stand

Do Mark and Hank have any brothers that live in TX? [emoji13]
Awesome setup. I am jealous!
Edit: Did you really measure it to 0.3”? [emoji12] Also, I think you meant 8 ft out of the ground?
I'll take it. One if you are willing to separate out.

Sorry to hear this happened. Great job with the repair! I put two holes in a fairly new hammock from a screw driver in the back pocket while putting up Christmas lights recently. This was my...
Fabulous weekend! Except for the horrible Thursday night in the Hampton; fun was had by all. Wait...I was the only one who disliked the Hampton Inn. [emoji848]
Already discussions going on...
