I'd say about double the size of a pack cover. Sounds like a solid idea.

I'd say about double the size of a pack cover. Sounds like a solid idea.
:laugh: I had a good laugh at that. Imagine the surprise they would have. I've traveled all over with my hammock, biners, rope and toggles in a carry on. Worst i've had are a few questions of...
Hello from east central florida as well.
Who ever made that wood canoe, that is some serious work of art there.
Careful, the primaloft site appears to be hacked
Looks like it was a blast. ill be more than healed up by next year and....ill be hanging with a WBBB =D i look forward to next years hang
easily made bed and portable too
i dont move when i sleep, i lay on my back and wake up in the same position. im fortunate in that regard.
I REALLY wish i had a recliner an an anti gravity chair it would be so much easier
I haven't tried it yet but my back hurts so bad from sleeping perfectly still on my back in bed (somehow i do not move in my sleep) its had me thinking of an attempt. Its been 10 days since the break...
yeah i choose a sling over surgery seems to be healing well. Also ditto what you said too Millarky XD
The ideas are all awesome, been getting the itch to go hang but i think set up and take down...
Would it be a wise way to sleep considering the compression it may have on the shoulders? what is the best method to reduce that compression with a gathered end hammock? have of you out the hung...
thankyou, im recovering well. i am glad i was thrown too...i landed just a few inches from the skidding bike. illl see you all next year...WITH AN SUV my bike days are over for now
I've had the police called on me too....someone thought i was camping in the park.
this was the spot...
i will not be attending on sunday the 15th. I was in a pretty severe motorcycle accident on the 3rd and broke my collar bone clean in half.
wish i could make it sorry everyone, i look forward to...
i am fortunate enough to have a park on the same block as my residence, so i test there. As far as stand vs. posts, i would choose posts IF i had the room and was able to set them deep enough to hand...
I would have added a backer plate to those D rings to help spread out in side loads. Just a thought. Good Job though.
good job, looks rock solid...
ENO double here, took me awhile to ditch the stock room through the channel. When i finally did and connected my whoopies through them, life was excellent. Also, if anything do as i did and first get...
Solid green doesn't not work?
Just curious why do you want camo? I find silver at a distance with decent tree density to be very hard to spot in 7/64ths width
I used a 550 paracord ridgeline for awhile and rigged at a nearly 5 degree angle....needless to say in stretched at nearly 900 pounds of weight derived from the various graphs around here.
I...
Indeed, said it better than I can, Joey
This was precisely what i was looking for, thank you all for your information.
I have searched over and over in this forum but cannot find any concrete experiences on rain seeping down suspension lines into one's hammock and gear.
Does it happen? What do you use to prevent...
I will be there sunday the 15th only so if you need and extra burner i have one i can bring for the day.
Do you know what makes those recurring square shapes in the fabric?
Yes i found that, 18.8 feet high is the proposed strap height for a 30 degree angle but i was attempting to go lower and overcome sag with shear strength of tension...it did not work.
...
looks good, how stable is it once you are in? Do you need to stake out the pole to keep it from moving too much or does the tension keep it pretty secure?
the slings are 6 foot. The extensions i just made were 24 feet long each in 1/8th and i have a smaller (and more practical 7 foot ones in 7/64th)
I really thought i could get the tension up high...
grows like weeds is an understatement after my experiences with it. Burning it, digging it out, burning it again, some bit managed to survive and grow back twice as fierce. Eventually excavated a...
Well i have a stove if someone has a pot...its an MSR DragonFly, may take a bit but i think it will get the job done....let me know in forum if that will get the job done.
just to test the feasibility of it i guess....a more realistic would be with a full sleep system like a WBBB or Hennesey with tarp.
I tend to end up hanging from more urban structures, connection...
I took up Redden Marine on their Black Friday sale and bought 50 feet of 1/8th Amsteel and fashioned myself some eye to eye extension to see what kind of span i could reach.
Combined with my...
First bought an ENO after seeing an article of some college students carrying one with them to relax between classes across campus and I thought "I know a good idea when i see it" so i ordered one...
Good way to spend black friday

Whats the story behind this?
As have I.
lets say you have 10 feet of amsteel blue....7/64ths of an inch wide...it has an average breaking strength of 1600lbs.
Load that line to 160 pounds, 10% load of breaking strength, and you have...
+1 on the amsteel blue, very high strength to weight ratio and very little stretch something on the order of 0.46% elongation(of total length) at 10% of its breaking load.
Paracord over 6 feet will stretch quite a bit with a load. Also depends on the angle of the hang.
Correction....upon checking my invoice to see how much i would have saved if i got the discount i kept getting the same total, to my puzzlement...i realized you wonderful people retroactively applied...
I'm sure i would have done the same. (watch him eat it)
Had a one wander into camp while at Wekiva Springs SP Florida poking my pot I cleaned and tried to make off with my stove stuff sake tied to the stove leg of a MSR Dragon Fly...needless to say this...
Agreed on the "physical" insurance note. Despite the weight I would choose a firearm over bear spray or mace for the one reason of overspray, or "friendly fire" mace is a heck of a thing if you get...
i don't carry in the woods because my state will not let me in state parks but federal parks will let me carry in theirs with my Florida CWP...makes sense right?
Definitely plus 1 to hammocks over tents. Maybe its just me being from Florida but the first thing I think of is gator bait.:scared:
courtesy of ENO Blog http://eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/ENO-blog/?p=315 there is a type of yoga one can practice with a hammock. I found this quite impressive not only can a hammock free you of sleep...
tantalizing deal on Amsteel 1/8inch....not sure...must resist....:drool:
True that Florida heat...another rockledge here. It is miserable up till January. Florida in and of it self made me a convert. The weight savings in the south is immense with the lack UQs and thin...
that is a pretty sweet idea never seen it before!
I think you could be missing something:lol:. The 15th is a Tuesday,
Sunday is the 13th.
