Thank you!

Thank you!

I’m looking for some 1/8” Amsteel in red & black-or-gray, but the last time I bought a few spools was pre-COVID. Where do y’all recommend I look? RSBTR? Dutchware? Marine supply?

TIA!

The answer is 42.

Thank you for posting this! With some luck we'll be out of our town home and into a house with a bit of yard by fall, but the new place doesn't have trees (yet). I was planning on just making one...

Looks good! If the galvanized connectors that you already have fit snugly and allow for 4" of...

I'm a BIG (6' 4" x 350 lbs) side sleeper & I switch sides/diagonals a handful of times during the night due to an old back injury. My go-to hammock is my extra-wide (72") Sparrow by Dream Hammock. I...

I gotta quit sneaking on here at work- I snorted out loud when I read that & a colleague asked if I was okay.

Hey, that's me!

Same pics are in THIS thread, post # 19

I've also acquired some copper tubing to replace my grommets; I just haven't got around to installing them yet.

Venting is for underquilts.

Do Yourself In! Bwah ha haaah! I can't believe I never even noticed that this one had it wrong!

If you use chain link fence top rails then you should have no problem. Broken-down, my pole sections are 53" long. Back in post #19 of this thread are photos of how I did my connections. Depending...

Loving the cup!

Aaaah! It's waiting on the front porch & I still have 4 hours of work left.

Time passes so sloooooooowly when you're at work & get this notification!

Just received this but I'm stuck at work for 4 more hours. Sure hope no porch pirates beat me to it!

Ordered mine (I mean, "my wife's") in Woody Green on 08/29/2018.
Received tracking number today!
:D

Ordered on 08/29/2018, in "Woody Green".
Got my tracking # today!

Same here. I finally sewed some thin grosgrain on each side just above the first snap so I can just tie it shut.

It works very well with my extra-wide (72”) Dream Hammock Sparrow.

6'4" x 330'ish lbs, right now I'm using either 1" webbing w/ 12kn wiregate carabiners (for trees), or 1/8" Amsteel continuous loops with the same 'biners (for my DIY tensa stand).

I've toyed...

Back in Post # 18 of this thread Alex said they're dialing-in specs on Zeros & they'll make them available, "...in a couple of weeks." If you need one ASAP then you should probably give him a call...

A few weeks ago I was trying to find time to make a CDT Gemini "winter" underquilt w/ clews before our Scout troop's "Klondike Derby" campout, and I thought I was going to have to pull an all-nighter...

I see a springtime garage project in my future.

(Must*resist*urge*to*post*That's*what*she*said)

Yeah, after conducting lots of "research" on every "how to transfer down" thread that I could find I thought I had it all figured out. Everything was going well UNTIL I accidently had the shop vac...

I posted this in the Donating Members Roundtable section, but though everyone might like to see it:

Looks great! We're currently in a town home with shared "green space", so I'm limited to portable stands until we get back into a standalone home with a private yard. Taking notes for later- thank...

Looks great!

Looks great! I'm an assistant Scoutmaster in Davis County (UT), so I usually get at least an overnighter with the boys every month. I'm recovering from a couple of surgeries right now, however, so...

Welcome! This is the place for advice & opinions on all things hammocking.

For the money, I've been very happy with my Chill Gorilla Fortress tarp purchased on Amazon. Shown here on a DIY tensahedron stand w/ Dutchware pole mod kit.

For the money, I've been very happy with my Chill Gorilla snakeskins from AmazonSmile. One swallows my Sparrow w/ underquilt, top cover, & bug net. Another keeps my Fortress tarp ready to deploy.

I second this: Dutch hookworms on the guy lines, which are permanently attached to my stakes, hook to the shock cord loop that's larks-headed to the tarp tie outs. Super fast, easy, & adjustable. ...

I've noticed this in my DIY tensa stands; I seem to almost automatically sink into the correct lay.

Email Randy (aka "Papa Smurf") at DreamHammock.com & he'll give you recommendations. I'm 6'4" x 320 lbs & I'm loving my 11' x extra-wide (72") Sparrow. Randy & Deanna offered fantastic customer...

Guilty!

I'm in the same boat (assistant scoutmaster). Love my DIY tensa stand.

I'm 6'4" x 320 lbs, a side sleeper, & I switch sides 2-3 times at night due to old back problems. I tried an Amazon 3-panel hammock (similar to ENO), but the seams created pressure points at my neck...

My first build didn't include a stand ridgeline, but I've since added one to build #1 & included one in build #2. In addition to making it easier to replicate a "dialed-in" hang, it also makes setup...

Great work, Rat!

One thing I’ve come to realize through my DIY efforts is that the commercially available Tensa4 stand from www.tensaoutdoor.com is a bargain at $300! They’ve made many improvements over the past few...

Thanks, jeff-oh! It's always a work-in-progress, each time I hang from the stand I think of more ways to tweak it.
