I had a similar dilemma (my sisters old machine my dad gave me) except the cord/pedal combo I needed was closer to $60... I was patient and found another full, working machine with carrying case for...

That is a pretty neat chair in the first one!

Hey, for the price - both would still get you in your price range of $200 then you could take 'em for a spin and see which you like better then sell...

Hmmm... tough choice. I think "Choices" in cranberry (size M).

Great contest!!

Awesome! Thanks!

It's hammock related, I promise!

I found the Nano 22 carabiners on there - wanted 2 for my straps. I added the black ones to my cart (they were the cheapest)... listed as an add on item (Prime...

I saw a couple guys on youtube that did something similar. They each came with tarps - one went to the ground, the other turned it into a hammock... it rained a LOT that night, and the poor guy on...

So for suspension... I plan on zip-tying through a channel in each end, then doing a larkshead with either amsteel CLs or something else, then using a Nano 22 biner on that to hook to webbing straps...

Getting ready to try a tablecloth hammock or two (one for DH and trying to convince my dad to give it a try! he has a whole host of back/neck issues and can't find a mattress that he can sleep on...

99% sure that's the same thread I am thinking of... thanks for the pic! Just the info I needed!

I am hoping to make a tablecloth hammock for DH as a starter for him, just to see if he likes it... He is wanting something in a brighter green color, but I vaguely remember a thread a while back...

I got my kids the Amazon ones you linked to and they have been OK for them, but I actually just sold my first hammock, an ENO SN, to fund something for DH. In hammocks price doesn't always equal...

That is a very encouraging post for me - in this stage of life I likely have a few more years before I can really get into it (you never know though)... so for now I am living vicariously through all...

Eventually I want to try hammock camping with DH and would love to use two trees and a spreader bar... do you have to have the same hammocks for that to work? Same general length? How close do they...

I just found a near future purchase now that I have a hammock with a ridge line! I was eyeing lights just for fun, but a fan is way more practical!

Well... that was unexpected :lol: A little different scenery than most...

Those are pretty neat! They would be perfect for my kiddos... just got straps from Dutch for them though. Oh well...

Thanks to The Ultimate Hang I learned to look up... I posted this in another thread, but just recently (because, well, I haven't been hammocking all that long) we were staying at the lake and while...

For real... that's my #1 complaint with NC... I can't handle the humidity. It actually literally takes my breath away - some days I can't breath it's so think. Although I will say a damp swimsuit in...

When I lived in Phx, AZ as a child I had a hard time sleeping when it was too hot... I took neck ice packs my parents had and tied them around my feet :P

I guess a brick column would appear to be a solid thing to hang from... no way to know the foundation of it though (unless you personally installed it). I know had it not been for HF and The Ultimate...

It was also mentioned above that they lay flatter on smaller trees as well..

Oh my.... I was really hoping the title wasn't what it seemed to be :(

I can see the issues arising though. I know I watched an older teen at our Bible study put her ENO up in a gazebo on the...

Doing it that way works perfectly fine, but it requires having to fully undo the straps from the cinch buckles so for quick ups and downs (my hammock time is pretty limited!) I am wanting something a...

Oh man, I am in trouble :P I try to keep a pretty bare bones, simple wardrobe (not to mention cheap, most of it being second hand), but this sure is tempting! My kids would LOVE their own Ts as well!...

Looks like the general consensus is torn between clips and biners... I guess I could always try one of each on each end of the hammock to decide for myself! :P

I haven't made it to hiking yet, so weight isn't really a huge issue. Size is a tiny bit, but mainly because I want to make sure it all still fits in the same stuff sack... I should have enough...

Looks simple enough.! I'll have to take a look at the budget and see what I have for my fun money this month :)

Oi! Eventually I might get this figured out! :rolleyes: Got it fixed from buckles to clips...

Looking at Dutch's site I did just see the Dutch clips, but not sure about the open end... that makes me a little nervous :P I like the idea of it being closed so there's less chance of a simple...

I bought a hammock from a HF member and it came with straps and cinch buckles... I would like to get a couple carabiners so I can run it around the tree and clip it back on itself and not have to...

Oh boy, some of those look rather uncomfortable! So glad I am learning alternatives thanks to this forum and other sites recommended on here...

I was shocked one of the first times I ever used my hammock... it was in July in SC - not a terribly hot/humid day compared to what it could have been, but still, you know that with it being during...

That's the route I tend to go... I had a computerized Bernina I got for a good price... nice machine, but it made me nervous :P I sold it on eBay for 3x what I paid for it so not too shabby ($125 to...

What do you think of that machine? Just saw one on CL in good shape and the cabinet looks good as well... not that i need another machine, but I can't help but look :P

Beautiful! That looks like a piece of heaven on earth if you ask me!

Very nice! I had to rig some up under my kiddos hammocks in their beds, wasn't nearly as clean or pretty as this option :P

Oh how I love those old machines. That one is pretty snazzy looking! Even though I already have way too many, I was tempted by an older Kenmore in a cabinet at a consignment store yesterday - looked...

Gotta go with 12 for my girls...

Nice! I can see you having some converts just based on being able to shelter the bike... can't do that with a tent unless it's huge!

This is what I want to try... how did you have the bar rigged up?

That is beautiful! Congratulations and happy sewing!

Could you somehow do two separate suspension rigs for added insurance? Bulky and adds weight, but if you know you are going to have to hang in some not so comfy areas it might be worth having the...

I have a spot on a new strap I am going to be watching. I bought the kids some cheaper, smaller hammocks to get started and the carabiners that they came with are terrible. One snagged the webbing...

Oh, that is just beautiful! That would be amazing to lay under (in tarp form), but even as a hammock you could see some details - of course more in the middle compared to the ends.

I'll take it

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't think of looking there, I was just doing random searches of the whole forum. I'll go check it out.

Sorry - still figuring my way around the forums. I didn't realize I had to do an exact word for word claim on it (I did read through all the forum rules before joining, promise!). Learning as I go.

That was actually my main concern when comparing them... I am hoping the added length will help make up for the lack of width.

Hmmm... I'll give it a shot :)

For the straps - are carabiners included to clip back onto the strap when going around trees? Or do I undo the buckle each time I take it down?
