Sound reason? No. Im not good at sewing worried ill damage tarp trying to sew
Yes silpoly tarp from dutchgear
I'm trying to add pullouts to my Silpoly tarp. I just want to bond them without sewing. I saw a video where someone used Elastosil E41 and could not pull the material apart. Unfortunately, i live...
No it is wrapped around the end.
The boomstakes seem more solid. Unfortunately i dont jave enough or room for more
Sorry i did not get that scientific.
With some support and suggestions from Cheryl from Tensa, I've experimented with some anchorimg techniques to support my 250lbs using tensa solo in very wet soil.
I was setting up my hammock in...
Does it not depend on how much down is in the baffle?
2.5" height with 2.09oz / baffle overall say 23oz of down
3 " baffle height with same amount of down/baffle and overall
Which will be...
I'm not an expert, but i feel the temp rating is very liberal. I have a 78 x 44 long quilt with 900fp 2.5"loft and it is rated for 20 deg F. if i reproduce these your temp calc is 2 deg F.
Now I...
I want to add down to my UQ. What type/size of thread and needle should i use to stich back up with a machine?
I don't think you end up with much more line.
there is only 1 line going from one end of the tarp to the other. THe line on one end is around a tree back to tarp and connected. You have to tie...
yes
So i want to start using a continuous ridgeline with my new Silpoly Dutch tarp. With my old tarp i had the tarp connected to a ridgeline with taught line hitch and packed it up like that. So when i...
I just received my Tensa Solo Pole yesterday. Put up in backyard for a quick test and loved the results.

I used the 40cm boomstakes. My yard is very wet, soggy clay. Not...
I would love to have the flexibility of using one tree and a pole as backup. There are places you may go and not find 2 suitable trees. Provincial Parks for instance.
What kind of adjustable...
What kind of poles?
:thumbup1:
1) If trees are further apart than daisy chain allows, woopies give more length
2) I find that if i need to adjust once i've already setup everything and sleeping bag etc are in hammock, it can...
I use the woopies with a carabiner connected to daisy chain strap. The woopies smallest setup is about 10 ". So i guess that adds 20" of space i need between trees. So far have not run into a...
I don't hike either, but rather motorcycle camp as well
I thought you might have been one of the 'converted'. In some of your recent videos it looked like you were using Dutchwear cinch buckle
I was wondering, are woopie slings still being used out there? I notice more and more hammock videos people are using other Dutchware type of suspension systems like cinch buckles.
Looking for...
This is an interesting thread. Posted a little ways back :) but relevant to my concerns
So i don't backpack, i motorcycle camp. Space is limited.
I have my hammock now in a loofy Skin (body...
I purchased the LHS UQ and used it down to about 5/6 celcius. It was doable though a bit cooler than I would like. Even though it is rated for -7. Wondering what people thought about using a UQ...
The cameleon wide is 68 inches so plenty wide and up here in Ontario canada netting is a must. Mosquitoes are bad
I recently purchased adouble wide cameleon 9n hexon d 1.6
I really like the design and size and features. I bought it to replace a martians hammock that was only 10 ft and much cheaper.
The...
I've been Hammock camping a total of 4 times. I use webbing with several loops to go around the tree, then i have woopie slings attached to my hammock with caribiners i can clip to webbing loop.
...
I just bought a Underquilt from Little Hammock Shop. I am very new to the hammock world. I've only slept twice outdoors in it.
I previously have been using my Klimt insulated pad and it has been...
I can't go Kitty corner since my wife would not allow that. I would be climbing in from bed, since i would be in hammock above bed beside my wife in bed. I'm not sure i can access that area in the...
If i want to use my hammock to sleep in bedroom above existing bed, I'm looking for suggested mounting distances etc..
Assumptions:

I'm in Canada and they don't sell permethrin products for personal outdoor use
Has anyone used Extenda Shield? It is used for animals has .1% Pyrethrin, 1% Piperonyl Butoxide and .5% Permethrin.
I feel like that would be too restrictive
So i have a Kylmit Static V sleep pad and just recently went camping. Night went to about 6 or 7 Celcius. I was warm, just some cold spots when i would roll over or have my arm or feet against...
Where can i get Permethrin in Canada? I've googled and looked for it, but cannot seem to find any livestock supply that have it.
Not sure i follow.
I have one tree, my tree strap is connected to my Hammock suspension. The other side, no tree. Just using a dead stick/log.
So the other side i have my hammock suspension...
Does a clove hitch jam? The larkshead is similar to clove hitch, in that the rope would end up on the sides of post/pole/stick. Would that not put force on side of pole and more pressure pulling...
I've seen a couple of videos where a person has one tree to hang their hammock and then they use a larger branch/log/stick on other end. They make a rough point on one end so it someone sticks in...
I see so it is a DIY ARL UCR quite similar to a WS
Cool cool cool
I think my load limits are quite high. Using Amsteel 1/4" for loop, then 7/64" woopie slings up to Strap on tree. The Straps and Hammock fabric itself i suspect are the weak link
UCR ? WTF? :)
All these abbreviations. What does UCR stand for?
OK, just looked it up. Similiar to Woopie sling.
I thought about that, but just went with 83 %.. Seemed comfortable. ...
Ok, so i added a Ridgeline to my Martians Double. They claim the length is 118", but i measured and it was 113" from gathered end to gathered end. I assume there measurements were end of...
I'm new to hammocking. I'm 49 years old and have camped my whole life. I used to be able to sleep relatively comfortable on the ground. Now i just cannot get comfortable. I've read that hammocks...
