I was wondering what you would suggest for an underquilt on a majestic hammock? Wookie? Trailwinder? Does the Jrb mw3 or 4 work? Any other suggestions?

Very clever!

Nice hammock- good job!

Does anyone know if a 12 foot majestic hammock will work with a tensa 4 stand? Also, for any majestic owners out there, is it really that different from a traditional gathered end hammock? I like...

Thx Bill! I'm really impressed with these buckles. They are crazy easy to adjust and you save a bit of minimum distance between trees ( compared to whoopie slings)

Yes- amsteel!

I just received a superior suspension buckle set. I am very impressed with the design and functionality of the suspension- its pretty sweet! My only question is , I am using the buckles on a...

Thanks for the info! To be honest, the prices at Dutchware are very reasonable- and the quality is excellent! I am planning a future diy project and was wondering when I should order materials. (...

Does any one know if Dutchware is having a spring sale this year?

Quick question- how do beetle buckles work with a bridge hammock such as a ridgerunner or banyon? Also, since I weigh around 260 lbs, what straps would you recommend? Pros and cons of this...

Wow! That is great advice! Thx!

I was trying to find out if one was to make a diy copy of a big guy bridge, do you simply put the two layers together and cut out the hammock body, or is the bottom layer slightly wider. I suspect...

I think I already answered my own question! I agree with you- as I understand it, the banyon bridge double ridgeline is pretty unique- its not really a structural ridge line, but holds the bug net...

Question- with a simple end bar bridge hammock, what would the formula for ridge line length be? 1. Single ridgeline from apex to apex. 2. A double ridge line similar to the banyon bridge? Thx...

That does look pretty sharp! ( i use a jrb mw3 thats brown- it would look great against the woodland camo!) I wonder if the woodland camo would look nice with the olive green? ( or even orange on...

Interesting- so purple on the inside? Great suggestions- keep them coming!

Great idea! Which blue did you use?

I am thinking about making a double layer hammock using dutches hexon fabric and am having trouble deciding what color combinations to use. Any suggestions or personal favorites? Examples? Thx...

Nice design! Do you think it would work with a bugnet for summer use?

I own 2 of Bills big guy bridges ( double layer version of the lux). Excellent hammocks- very comfortable! Not exactly plug and play but extremely versatile ( can be set up and configured several...

Thanks for the info! So Bill, your saying a single layer of hex70 2.2 , when properly used with a good design, should have a weight limit of around 300 lbs? (I may give that a shot- I really like...

I was wondering if anyone out there has made a Grizz Bridge ariel out of 2.2 hex 70 ? If so, how did it turn out, and most importantly what would the weight limit be for that design and that...

Welcome to hammock forums! Lots of great people here and so much information!

Thanks for the help!

I bought some cloth a few years ago to make a rain poncho. Not sure if its sil poly or silnylon. Is there a way to tell by looking at it? Is there a seamsealer that works for both? What do you...

Ck out posts by pdx hanger. His 90 degree lounger and 90 degree hammock are pretty clever!

Since the big guy bridge is double layer, is it possible to flip it over and hang with the inner layer outside, outer layer inside? Would this put extra stress on the hammock? Just curious if...

I have the fjol pad- Im good down to about the low 40s but Im a very cold sleeper. A down hat and down booties seem to help alot! Just curious, where in southwest la do you live? I lived in...

Congrats! Im looking fwd to seeing what your vendor comes up with! As some one who has spent quite a bit time and energy working with diy 90 degree hammocks, Im pretty familiar with the...

Thanks for the reply Shug! I tried using a exped dura long/wide in my draumer xl, but I didnt like the way the hammock felt . Seemed like the shorter pad was was putting some stress on the hammock,...

I have a question for all you amok xl owners out there----how does the winter light pad hold up compared to the fjol as far as longevity and durability goes? I weigh around 265 and wasnt sure...

I use Shugs method- workes well! Also sometimes you can salvage and reuse the whoopie- it's possible to gently work the whoopie loop out of the bury- it just takes a while

Lollygagging is such a great term! I was reading an old Colin Fletcher book the other day- he was talking about "just mucking about". ( same concept but in that classic British way, sounds way more...

I always bring my kindle, ( for some strange reason, a good murder mystery hits the spot while on a solo hike!). I also bring a small notebook to write down thoughts and sketch a few ideas out. ...

I bought an amok draumer xl 2 months ago and have spent a dozen or so nights in it so far. (Fjol sleeping pad). I weigh 250 lbs, and was concerned about the durability of the sleeping pad. (Kind of a...

Nice idea- thx!!! I will be making one soon for sure!

I use mine all the time indoors with 8 foot ceilings- no problems! Its a little tricky to store it with poles extended like you were talking about, but it can be done-

Thx- I will look into that!

Hey guys, quick question for you..........Im experimenting with connecting a small diameter cord to a strip of fabric about 7 inches wide, using a becket hitch. I tried using a dynema type cord such...

Ive tried the "down eductor" method a few times. I never got it to work for me. Wv's method works well, or in a pinch you can eyeball it and carefully add handfulls of down into each chamber until...

I bought a 20 degree diamond back a few years ago. Hands down, it is my favorite top quilt- and the side elastic pulls seem to really help!

Thx! Any suggestions for alternatives to line loks?

Just curious......how much weight can a line lok 3 safely handle?

Beautiful!

Wow,!!! That is a piece of fine art! Absolutely beautiful! (I will have to add that to my future projects list!)

Thanks for the info!
