try changing the orientation of the bobbin so that the thread is peeled off in the opposite direction. you can also play around with the thread tension.

That answers my question. Thanks Stormcrow.

I noticed on the website that the temp ratings have been updated. The summer burrow and incubator, for example, are now rated at 40F instead of 35F. The down fill weight seems to be unchanged. I...
Hmmmm....
I ordered on the 16th. Two summer incubators. #754. No shipment notification yet :(
Agreed.
I shortened the ridge line and calf pressure went away.
I experimented by using an adjustable ridge line mounted on the outside of the bug net while
The original remained.
Exactly. Do the math, its amazing the forces that are present at very acute hang angles. Its not terribly intuitive.
@jtbradyl,
In my practice, I dont try to fiddle with the hang angle to get...
You are absolutely right, the forces must sum to zero if the hammock is static.
When I said "increased" I meant for a given hang angle there would be more tension in the suspension when using a...
The tension in your whoopie is a function of the hang angle (relative to the end of the hammock) and the weight in the hammock.
Now, a ridge line will influence the hang angle, but it will not...
I have done this too, but a word of caution. I was using polypro webbing and fed the end through the sewn loop. I guess I didn't have the strap square around the tree and all the way snug. When I...
I use carabiners through the channel ends on my double without issues. Just maker sure they are the oval ones, you will need the extra space.
hmmmm....
I originally placed an order with him April 5. Granted I have been working with him figuring out what I want, I haven't heard from him in over 3 weeks. I have sent 3 emails since then...
I have been playing with both polypro an polyester. Polypro does have more stretch than polyester, but the stretch happens immediately upon loading. Nylon seems to take hours to stretch.
I wouldn't worry about it. The forces acting on your tarp ridge line are orders of magnitude less than your hammock suspension. There is no way you are going to break amsteel using it as a tarp...
Thank you all for your replies. I think I have heard want I needed to hear... I think I will invest in a cuben tarp with doors and be done with it.
I am looking to buy my first tarp. I like the idea of having doors (when its needed). For those times when the doors are not necessary, do you find its a pain to tie the doors back out of the way? ...
You need to tighten the suspension straps.
Hello... first time post here.
I have been following the forums for some time now. Thought I would crawl out from under the rock and share something... after all, this forum has given so much to...
