I use a small s biner at each end of the tarp to close the doors on my tarp.

I got 25 feet of it at Hobby Lobby for $2 after their 40% off coupon

Our camp sells them at the trading post.

I built my own tarp out of silnylon that the ends close like doors. My chameleon clone fits in it great and even with metal d rings at the tie outs it only weighs 1 lbs even with the stuff sack. It...

Am I the only one who has trouble transition back to a mattress after a few nights in my hammock. I slept great all weekend in my 11 food chameleon clone and then couldn't get comfortable when I got...

Im only getting out for scout camping this weekend

I get that excitement from getting the package of materials to make my own gear. The Chameleon is a great design.

I use an led headlamp that I bought for $1 at the dollar tree

I use snugpak underquilt and top quilt. They are inexpensive and work well down to 30 degrees.

I would try shortening the ridge line so that you have the desired sag, but not a slack line.

I use a cheap travel pillow myself

I set it up and laid in it during my daughters softball practice.

This is my version of a Chameleon Clone. Double layer of 1.9 oz. ripstop with a Fully removable Noseeum Net.

Thanks to Dutch for making the zippers available.
I get to test it out...

Good to hear. I was looking into building a 2nd UQ. I think I will not go quite as heave with the fill knowing I can stack them up.

Hello from Ohio. Hammocking in Europe is on my bucket list. Then again Visiting Europe is also on the list.

Making Tarps isn't too difficult. Just takes patience and planning.
I'm building a hammock next. Haven't tried quilts yet.

Looks good

A hammock like this is my next project. I need an 11 footer.

Looks great. I can't wait to start my own project. I'm glad Dutch makes his zippers available.

sounds like a fun time

Look like a bag of skittles right?

Hello from Ohio

How much of an opening does warbonnet have at the seem of the 2 layers?
Is it like 2 hammocks stacked free or are they stitched together along the sides.

Looks great.

If you are going to cement something in to the ground you might as well use a 4x4.

Agreed. the one I got from amazon is just over 9'. Its comfortable enough but I will be looking at a longer hammock for sure.

I see Bike trip and I automatically think motorcycle.

Hello from Ohio. Have fun when your out there. Camping with your kids can be a lot of fun.

Welcome from Ohio

Hi from Ohio. You'll find a lot of helpful skilled people here.

True story

From my expirience even the cheap amazon hammocks are more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.

My facebook said group not found. What is the title of the group?

Its an interesting concept to keep in mind if I build an underquilt.

I have one of the dutchware argon winter socks. Its great. Only been in 18*-20* nights so far though

There is no right or wrong. Just what is comfortable to you

Great job. That's on my short list of builds i would like to try.

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Job on that

I will check in to that.

I like to pull the top quilt over my head in cold weather. So longer than you are tall in my opinion

Im under 300 and losing weight, but I might just try the double layer.

is Ripstop Nylon 1.9 a good material to make an 11 foot hammock with. Does anyone know the weight capacity of that fabric. I know I am a larger person and I don't want to suddenly meet the ground...

I like the idea of being able to remove the bugnet and put on a different top cover. Almost a modular system.

Thanks. I like to build things. Im just glad it worked like I planned.

Yes I was quite warm. I slept in fleece pajama pants wool socks and a hooded sweatshirt. It was a bit warmer if you turn the vent to the bottom and essentially close it, but that will cause some...

I have camped 4 nights in temperatures below 22 with the following set up.
snugpak underblanket and hammock quilt
dutchware winter sock
tarp shelter that i made that closes up on both ends.

I like the weather shield. Congrats on your new hammock

I like the idea of making your own hammock.

Might want to have
"demonstrate how to get in and out of a hammock safely"

The Mark 1 is a shelter i made from silnylon that I purchased from Dutchware Gear. it is 11.5 feet long and about 8 feet wide. I used nylon webbing and D rings for all 10 of the tie out points. I...

I too would be interested in dimensions. I think I'm going to make one.
