Well hope he didn't freeze to death in the woods.

How did it work out for you? Planning to build one myself.

This is great. I haven't used too many bowlines since they can be difficult to remove with smaller line that has been loaded down. I found that if you run the slip tail through the slip loop...
These make pretty good underquilts as you probably already know.

Want to say this was super helpful and I now only use dynaglide softshackles for all major connection points in my suspension. I weight about 220 and have never had an issue. I also just use an...
I have SL XLC for sale. Winter cover and bug net. PM me.
Well shucks, I found it. Looks nice, wish I didn't wait this long to ask.
Thanks I didn't know there were different themes. Where is that accessed?
I've made this dark theme for hammock forums if you want to try something new. It's a work in progress and you can check back at the userstyles.org page for updates.
I've really only coded for...
Here is a quick dark theme for hammock forums I made while talking to you guys. (I'm a web designer)

It was funny.
Well I'm not sure posting equates to learning. I've read a ton of posts and watched about of shugs and many other videomakers tutorials like professorhammock and SGT Rock.
I've...
Thanks intimidator. That is good feedback. If everyone likes that rule and uses it its ok with me. But I've thought about selling things several times over the years I've been on the site and before...
Thanks for your input.
I think contributing well-cared-for high-end gear at a reduced price to a forum I care for instead of people I don't know on eBay is a worthwhile thing. I learned how to...
I've been a member for almost three years. I read a lot but I don't post a lot I've started to enjoy sewing my own hammocks and chairs and wondering what is the best way to sell. Should I put them on...
230lbs slept a few times in a 1.0 with no issues.
Looks like a Helinox knockoff with wider feet, assuming they're not a knockoff of someone else. Helinox is 320 lb weight limit. 300 lb guy at work tested mine and liked it.
I just held it in place and used the guides on the machine. It was kind of rough in spots but since its the same color thread you can't really tell. Ordered a set of hem rolling feet. Tried one that...
I switched to the smaller needle recommend by the manual for thin fabrics. Put the tension at 3, stitch length at 2.5 and maintained tension on the fabric with two hands and I didn't experience any...
I'm a near complete sewing newb. Just bought my first sewing machine (Brother 6000i) since using my mother's a few times as a kid.
Not having problems with thicker fabric (i.e. pillow cases) but...
Mad's video was super helpful.
Could someone make a video comparing a 10ft and 11ft length hammocks of the same width to show how the foot position/lay are affected?
Pleased to say I've slept outside a couple times in down to 24F with a wind chill rating of 17.
Over cover was very effective in maintaining heat though it does draw some condensation. No issues...
Custom order Phoenix 20 to match my Green / Gray HyperD 1.0 Dream Hammock. Had Ripstopbytheroll ship directly to them and they didn't charge anything extra.
Inside is gray like top cover and...
The shiny sides face each other in a DL so you only feel the soft sides.
Haven't used the overcover much but I would leave it slightly open or make it with a permanent netted vent like some other...
Finally got a chance to take my new Thunderbird into the wild.

I saw the Nighthawk prototype Papa Smurf had posted with the alternate zipper configuration which I think is also the same as this video on their channel. ...
I ordered the double 1.0 Thunderbird (1237) after hearing how much others who liked it for their diy hammocks and some estimates of over 275 lbs for single layer 1.0. The sample I received was...
I'm thinking about a double layer HyperD 1.0 hammock.
However my 1.0 sample was a little stretchy and could be stretched by hand without too much effort. Folded in half was much stronger.
I'm...
