    For those following along at home, this is different than the Warbonnet two-pole approach (that he doesn't offer now). His two poles were short and spanned across the top to elastic cords that...

    The picture I have is that the only reason there is room under the tarp is that the 'internal pole mods' spread the tarp, while the guylines are pulling the tarp closed by pulling toward the...

    If you know someone that sews clothing and/or costumes talking with them, and showing them your fabric may be helpful. Some of the decorative fabrics uses have the same issues of being slippery,...

    I forward to Australia using comgateway.com, and they list the UK as a destination.

    When I first used the service, I was able to consolidate packages to save on shipping, but more recently...

    I haven't done a lot of this yet. I'm leaning towards an idea I saw by David Canterbury He uses toggles and prussik knots. Do you have any experience if prussik knots freeze or jam?

    I generally agree, but I'm thinking of times when I'm very cold, and my fingers don't tie knots well - or at all.
    For the same reason, one of my fire starters is always one-handed.

    Hi.

    Take a cord, strong enough, and hang it from some support and let fall straight down. Now add a scale to it, and then a 10lb weight. The scale will register 10lbs.

    Now, take that same...

    Or, perhaps a waterproof bag.

    Hmm, no. If you are riding in the rain, your motorcycle clothes are wet, and bagging them will promote mildew and mold growth.

    I would use a tarp over the...

    Do you happen to have a use for a table otherwise? For when you are camping?

    Also, what do you do to protect your motorcycle? Do you have a tarp for that?

    Both of those offer a place to store...

    I have not tried this, but I use wax on my bicycle chains. Dry to the touch, doesn't hold any dirt.
    Melt the wax (if you're going to heat with a flame, use a double boiler - the vapour is...

    How much stress would you say there is on the connection between the two hammocks?
    Do you think that a zipper could handle the connection?
    How about snaps?

    Cheers.

    There are several models of this concept available - getting actual dimensions may be an issue, but I'll throw this into the pot:

    Thanks. I'll work with that.

    I notice the stock dogbones are the same length for both the head and foot end. But the base of the foot triangle (the bar) is less than the head. However the load...

    Well, sure.
    But you're smart and strong and good looking. I can't compete with that.

    I've only spent a day at it so far - there's room for improvement.

    But for the sake of future...
  16. Replace Ridgerunner dogbones with whoopee slings?

    I have the Ridgerunner, and I have a Tensa4 stand.

    I haven't been able to get the hammock to work with the stand. Reading other people's mixed experience, the length of the dogbones that form the...

    measurement of RidgeRunner suspension lines

    My RidgRunner has the newer style of dog bones which attach directly with a lark's head to the webbing that runs along either side of the hammock body. Then away from the hammock the two dog bones...
