It was a great site to hang : )

We stayed at site # 1 and we had to hammocks by the creek. Plenty of trees to hang.
I am curious as well, way too many scam ads on facebook about this product.
What is the best way to add pull outs to my tarp? I have a Kammok Kuhli Pro and wondering if they could be added with something like patches. I don't want to sew them in if it can be avoided so I...
It was great meeting you. Too bad we had to leave early. Next time we will stay rain or shine :)

I will be there with my daughter on Friday night. This is our first group hang, looking forward to meeting everybody.
Fellow Hammockers,
BE aware that since this is a "unique" design chinese scammers are going to town like they did with fake Amok ads on facebook a few monthd ago. I have found over 60 scamming ads...
It depends on how tight, have you tried a bridge hammock?
I'm gonna miss this event by a week. I will be camping there the following week, I will check the lost and found box :)
Life is a journey and so is every project. If you need a beta tester in the muggy southeast (and have a tarp prototype to sell) just let me know.
I will be glad to test under various conditions...
Welcome to the group, I am in Charlotte as well.
Great post. I do believe most DIY'ers do it for the pride they will take on their finished product. It is hardly ever a money saver but a sense of accomplishment.
Amen,
This weekend we stopped by Louise's Rock House and we saw Shug's Wall of fame :)
At my household we no longer eat breakfast, we eat brreakfast
Growing up I always enjoyed the outdoors and all living creatures. That was rare growing up in Mexico City where nature is scarce. There was a magazine about enviornmental literacy geared towards...
The setup is looking good, make sure that your water breaks are under the tarp, otherwise you may end up with water running down the suspension to your hammock on a rainy day.
Where are this pictures from? We are camping at Curtis Creek this weekend.
I took my girls (6 years and 2 year old) backpacking twice this season. hiking 2 miles in was far enough for the old one to hike herself and carry some water, and her snacks.
They both had a...
I have this inexpensive light that can be used as a small battery bank if needed to charge a headlamp, cell phone, etc....
Hi,
I am just happy to see so many local hangers. I have family plans for the weekend, If things work out I may bring the entire family (of hammocks) with me :)

Welcome to the forum! Now you have bitten by "The Bug". HG makes some awesome gear, I have an incubator as well and I sleep super warm with it.
Happy Trails!
The original post was about a budget tarp 10.5 feet by 6.5 feet with a hex cover design. 16x10 would not be tight by anybody's standard.
So, this seemed to fit a bit tight and I just didn't want to get wet if I didn't have to. This tarp works GREAT for my daughter's hammock. She is 6 years old and her hammock is only 9ft long.
I...
I was at this part last weekend with the family. We are visiting all the State Parks in North Carolina and managed to take a hiking break along the trail at Falls lake where we setup our hammocks for...
If you are going to be a SOBO, you won’t need gear that heavy or bulky for the first half of your trip. You may want to start with something lighter and smaller for the warm summer days and then mail...
I agree, the pattern feels like a flag but I don't mind as long as I am warm inside. :)
Howdy,
I received this quilt a few weeks ago and it is AWESOME! The lowest temp rating for this is 20 degrees but I never camp below 30 anyway so it works for me.
My favorite feature is the...
Great, the only think to consider is the cold butt that could turn into cold baby. The little ones can't regulate their temperature as easily as adults and you may want to add under insulation unless...
This design looks great. If you need another beta tester I would be glad to help out.
I go hiking with the family almost every weekend and we take our hammocks to use as “trail breaks” half way...
I will report my findings once we get some rain later this week. The reason I wanted to test this tarp is because I have a Kelty Noah 12 that has plenty of coverage but is pretty heavy to carry for...
Howdy,
Has anybody tried this tarp on the field:

I just received mine (last week the price was $19.99, two days later it was +$3, now it is $24.99). It fits perfectly...
I DIY'ed my suspension.
I use poly webbing with a bowline on a bight, feed the strap through it and attach whoopie slings with a marlinspike hitch with toggles.
Dude, now I am drooling, how much did you pay for your upgrade?
I received my yellow spool and it has a blue tracer. It actually looks pretty neat.
That's the plan, I am also hoping to have a hood to cover the head. We'll see how that comes out. I am not taking a lot of measurements since this is not fitted. I am just eyeballing things and...
I watched a video from Pharmgeek and feel pretty confident that something will come out of the first try.
Very cool man, that looks great!
Thank you, ripstop by the roll sent me the correct grey fabric. Kudos to their customer service, they are outstanding. I highly recommend them and would not look anywhere else for diy supplies unless...

So far so good
Well... I will have to do that next time around. I am done cutting baffles so now onto sewing
Made some progress tonight cutting the baffles. The next step, a lot of sewing and finish that baby formula

After cutting my fabric I noticed that the blue and the grey had a different feeling. I am wondering if the blue is calendared and the grey is not. One does have a flat and shiny side and the other...
Howdy,
I have been reading quite a bit about diy gear and after reading pharmageek's post and watching jellyfish's youtube videos I decided to try it myself. I have 1oz hyperD baffle material and...
Jelly,
You are an inspiration for us rookies. Your videos encouraged me to make two more hammock and now feel better Bout trying to make a top quilt. The beauty of this projects is that the don't...
Thank you,
I do have a Costo down throw, a couple of sleeping bags and just ordered a sierra designs blanket so that should cover a few options for most budgets.
Since this is an introductory...
Hi,
In the past 18 months I have been learning about hammock camping and acquiring/making my own gear. I work at a Nature Center where we lead natured-based hikes and also offer some outdoor...
Has anybody tried this?...
Do you have any sort of pattern/plans for it? I want to start my TQ soon and yours is what I had in mind.
I just received my order of 500 grams Rose feather down 950fp from amazon.
This feels almost like my dream pillow, mid height and pretty firm. For a second the idea of putting a pillow case and...
