Sorry I'm late for answering. I've rarely been to the forum lately.



That's right. In the beginning, I made the fabric much longer than necessary so that I had enough reserves to try it out....

To me, this looks quite similar to an idea that came up by biker61 on haengemattenforum.de some time ago (the german thread is here). The guy also wrote a quite nice tuorial, in english, you can find...

Hi Freya,

also check out the German forum if you haven't already done so. We have grown quite a lot in recent years. There are also people from your area, look here.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I do not have a co2 meter. Anyone?

Thanks, I saw that but didn't realize that you fully close the tube at the head too. I am quite sceptical about this because of the possibility to suffocate inside a non breathable shell. This can be...

How long is your hammock?

I still don't understand how you prevent a lot of warm air from escaping at the head end when using a single tube. You can't close that thing around your neck, can you? And aren't your shoulders...

I just don't understand how you can close the drawstring at the top end around the hammock. On the side of the hammock facing the shoulders there is always a relatively high "wall", which leads to a...

This video shows very nicely how the tubes are constructed and how they work.

Very interesting, thank you very much for posting. I have watched the videos and read the text, but unfortunately I still have problems imagining it. You write that you use 3 tubes at very low...

My spares are lithium batteries. By ordinary batteries, I meant AAA lithium batteries, not like the custom rechargeable one that came with the Petzl headlamp. Generally, lithium batteries are much...

I agree with that. I have a Petzl Actik Core, which has a rechargeable lithium battery. Alternatively, it can also be operated with ordinary AAA batteries, of which I usually have three as a backup....

I've been out five times since then. It's just too beautiful in the woods in winter to not be there. ;)

Because I know what my mistakes were, it's not hard not to do them again. Actually, the...

Yes, I did. ;)

Fire in the forest is not allowed in Germany in general. In winter it would probably not be a problem if you got caught - I would say I would probably freeze to death without a...

It sure is. In my situation an UQP would have helped me in both concerns.



Unfortunately, my Topquilt was completely soaked and therefore would not have helped me in the hut either.


...

That's exactly how I see it. Unfortunately, theory is not identical to practice, as I learned the hard way.

I totally understand what you mean. Honestly, I didn't think much about the situation and immediately decided to go back to the car. I only had a small knife with me, so a fire would have been quite...

So sure it is.

I have an underquilt protector to gain another 5-10°F. Unfortunately I didn't have it with me because of the expected temperatures.



The hut was not an option as it was unheated and open on one...

Usually I have my minitarp with me, with it I can close one side almost completely. Unfortunately, I forgot it that day. It won't happen to me again.



I agree with that. With a little bit of...

The basic problem was not that I lost too much heat, but that I woke up much too late (which also is a physiological effect of alcohol). Not already when I started to shiver, but only when I was...

I completely agree. It may well be that I would have woken up earlier if I hadn't been drinking the two glasses of wine for dinner.

Hi everyone,

I would like to give you a little trip report to demonstrate how fast you can get into really dangerous situations even under mild winter conditions.

In mid-December I went out to...

The tension is about as great as with the original. The underquilt must absorb the forces generated by stretching of the fabric of the hammock. I made the hammock from 1.6oz HyperD, the stretch is...

Hello everyone,

I tried out how a common whipping for HM and my DIY Wooki is going to work.

At first, I sew my hammock and DIY Wooki to exactly the same length, each with tunnels at the ends....

Hmm, I don't quite understand. This only works when you're standing up, right? Just putting one foot out of the hammock and peeing doesn't work, I guess.

For my part, I like to get up at night,...

I believe that the whole story is much easier with a Brdige hammock. Actually, there is no need for any design as complex as a Wooki. This primarily solves the air hole problems caused by the complex...

I feel the same way. And with every DIY project I have more and more admiration for the performance of our cottage vendors (especially Warbonnet). It's only then that you realize how much development...

Okay, I'll try to explain this and hope that I can express myself in an understandable way. Since I am not a native speaker, I'm sure some passages are a bit bumpy, but I'll try to do my best.

The...

Thank you for explaining, PharmGeek.

It is very interesting to see how different people's approaches are. I had IT help:

First I traced the dimensions of the original Wooki in Inkscape. Then I...

I think it is quite obvious that a longitudinal differential direction is necessary, because there is also some curve here - although not as pronounced as in the transversal direction. With the...

You might be right about that. But what irritates me is that the original Wooki doesn't have any darts on the long edges except for a small one at the foot end. This one wrinkle uses about 1 inch of...

Sorry for answering so late. I had a lot going on lately.



The baffles are made of mosquito neting. Their height is 3.15 inch. They are about 5.4 inch wide on the head end and about 2.8 inch...

I only did a width differential. I took the pattern from the "hammock" part of the wooki and stretched it by 15%. Unfortunately, the down under my feet is quite compressed. Below 30°F I have to use a...

Hi Bernd. Finally, you reached the center of hammock universe. ;)

Good idea, thanks. Any mods reading here? Could someone help and move the thread, please? Or should I contact one directly?

What a great Weekend! Most of the people were arriving on Thursday and changed the beautifull forrest to a hammock hotel within hours. The kids enjoyed the creek and the woods, the adults enjoyed...

I recently made a Wooki clone, here.

We have some more hangs in Germany throughout the year. Just check out haengemattenforum.de.

Hello? Who's there? I hear voices but I cannot see anybody!

At my first underquilt I also strongly underestimated the amount of stretch and hence lost something like 80% of loft due to compression. To get 2.5'' of loft I merely made the outer shell 6% wider -...

Could you hand me a link to the thread you're referring to? I can't find it. Thanks.

I did some testing. After some fiddling with the whipping, the quilt fits perfectly now. I have been cosy warm at 35°F, no cold spots at all. I think it will take me down to at least 20°F.

Hi everyone,

I finished a down Wooki replica recently.

The specs:

- fabric: Nylon Taffeta, 38 g/cm^2, 149 x 360 cm (59'' x 141'')
- maximum length and width of insulated area: 182 x 124 cm...

It is an image from Warbonnet's webpage.

You can see the difference quite good here.

I use a Osprey Kestrel 48. In winter I pack my hammock, TQ & UQ, Tarp, cook kit and 5 litres of clothes in the main compartment. Then, I have enough space left for food for 3-4 days. In summer, I...

Personally, I think that the wooki design ist way superior to the "traditional" UQ design. The main reason to this is that the fit is close to perfect, hence there are no gaps and the lay is...
