:D

If I'm just chillin' in it during the day, I lay/sit side to side, instead of diagonal, in an attempt to see what's around me...

Congrats on your first of hopefully many overnight hangs. :)

Couldn't you do this with the shelves, and the plywood, and use proper anchors into the studs, to keep the shelves from tipping in, thus eliminating the need for the bar, and still distribute the...

Such a bummer, we got canceled at noon on Friday because of a small craft advisory for Sunday because of the front that came through.. :(

OMG thank you for letting me know about this.. My son is highly allergic. :(

;):D !!!! Thanks for this info.

well done with the slapping together of the laying around timbers...

Sounds like a plan, but doesn't it defeat the purpose of keeping the heat in?

I tried my sock last night in the back yard (Hubby is away, bed to myself or hammock... hammock). It was 45* when I went to bed and 32* and frosty when I woke up. Slept like a baby for 6 hours...

Will do. :)

Thanks for the heads up about the ear plugs... I camp with scoutmasters, I always have them anyway! LOL.

As far as I know, Paddocks Island has spigots at the campsites now, since they installed...

Anyone hung here? Any tips? We're in a group site in a couple of weeks. Looking for site pointers, or weather tips.

I would go with a turtledog stand in my backyard, or do what I did for car camping: Salvage an old pole/tarp garage and fashion corner pieces and other lengths to make yourself a nice sturdy stand. ...

I will try for more pics later this week including closeups of zipper etc. :)

Just reserved a lean-to site at Grand Isle this summer. Super excited. Has anyone hung there?

We have a site that looks brushy on the edges, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to hang, but it...

The lashing straps from Harbor freight will hold him, for tree straps. They are yellow or orange and have a 2300lb strength. Cut off the metal and reinforce the sewn loops with a little more sewing...

I did this to a hardware store tarp, and it works really well:

Thanks, The zipper is just heavy enough to cause the sock to spin just a bit, when setting up/getting in and out and the RL seam to go off kilter. I wouldn't want that to cause any problems with...

Looks good!

I used the same purple for my karo step uq. All my stuff is purple. :)

This is my new Hyper-D winter sock. One end is about 8" wide and will cinch or open for ventilation, I also kept the selvedge edge visible on the top, ridgeline seam, so some of the little...

Walked straight up on a female moose along side a river in Maine one day when I was 17. If I hadn't frozen in my tracks I could've reached out and gave her a little pat...I'm really lucky she...

Really getting the itch, we had a fantastic time at last spring's event but alas, this year we have a scout weekend and my daughter has her final rifle match of the season...

Still closed??? :(

Ours sleeps in her crate below my hammock when we car camp. When we backpack, she has a little fleece bag with a pillow bottom, and a fleece jacket and is leashed to the tree next to me. ...

My Yukon Outfitter's diamond tarp ridgeline swoops down like that. It isn't as pronounced as the Moss Parawing, but the side pullouts causetension on the ridgeline, causing it to swoop down like...

Silly geometry! Glad your aches are gone!

Really bummed, but my daughter just found out she has a shooting match on that Saturday... so we'll be taking ourselves off the list. I was really looking forward to it though. Enjoy some lobster...

pretty cool color combo! nice work.

I had to get a job. I've been stay-at-home for a while and both kids are in school full time now. The bi-weekly allowance wasn't feeding my DIY hammocking gear obsession fast enough so I had to get...

The same hate/glee emotional roller-coaster happens when the genders are reversed, I promise.

Shared a bunch of pictures from our trip to Cathedral Pines. It's a...

Bright pink marker tape on the guy lines too!

I had our hammock chair hung up at our campsite last weekend. The kids (65# and 120#) were using it as a swing (serious amount of air happening) using about 3/8" sticks found on the ground, in a...

Indeed! Good stuff! I use tie-down straps from Harbor Freight $4 with the buckle cut off. Can't forget the bright yellow when you're packing up. :)

I use crayon on the inside, and a water soluble silver quilting pencil from Joanns for anything on the outside. :) Nice karo boxes by the way, I do LOVE that design and I'm on UQ#2 as we speak. :)

Here there are three different kinds of bug nets, one shown with curtain sheers...

This is what ours will be, snaps & cinch, length determined by user height.

Yesterday....

For a karo, you sew them all on one side, then for the next, sew the first row of vertical baffles say, top to bottom, then the next row which is horizontal, all the way from top to bottom, then the...

just so nice! I love the color

Thanks all!


Pillow was $40 at the store, and states 600fp on the packaging. Not spectacular, but I'm not going for top-of-the-line either. There are a few campouts/camporees that the scouts do...

Good job on that quilt!

50"x70" (full length for me @ 5'4")

Dutch Argon90 shell
Costco pillow fill, using the entire kingsize pillow.

Fantastic!

Still raining so I had to take it inside. My tarp should be dry tomorrow and I can reseal it...

Hammeck stands are 4' I think, and they use a pretty neat joint system.

welcome to the DIY-world. very nice machine you've got there. I LOVE my down pillow for colder weather hangs!

Hammocks have always been about naps and relaxing for me, so getting to sleep in one is tough at first, because I have trouble turning off my brain. I'm always thinking about if I'm comfortable...

thanks,

It's basically a Fronkey style, but I didn't have as much mesh as i needed to go all the way to the ground, so instead of a seam along the ridgeline to take advantage of the full width of...
