Great looking finished product.
Down isn't too awful as long as you keep the breeze from blowing and inform your better half that you are about to make a massive mess of down clusters.

What a time warp! It's very interesting to see your ambitions with the videos early on and how much you have really crafted and cultivated them over the years. You've been putting in work for a long...
That's a lot of really good kit. Is that a backpacking chainsaw?
I always get excited when I see a new Mountain Wanderer video. Some of the best trip reports around. I really enjoy the DIY music too. Many thanks, Wanderer.
This is a Lot of great feedback.
I know it may be considered off topic, but I do appreciate all of the feedback which gives a holistic look in regards to gear, etc...
Ultralight hammockers,
I know you're out there.
Being that HF is THE defacto hammock gossip site, this is where folks who want to know more about hammocks, come to find out more about...
Great trip report! Looks like you had a fine hiking partner.
How much were the shuttle folks asking for a 40 mile shuttle?
I know a lot of the volunteer shuttles we've used let you decide how...
Additional greetings from the midlands. I'm envious of your moto trip. Sounds fun. Good luck ironing out the wrinkles in your hammock quest. If you have questions, start with Shug videos. He's...
My back hurts just reading that. I'm no UL'er but I would try to get my weight down if I was carrying 100lbs. Definitely go for a full framed backpack with beefy hipbelt and extra volume so you can...
Thanks Swampfox. Your updated planning spreadsheets are like gold!
What does the "FR" stand for in the word FRacket?
DIY bug has gotten you fast. Benefit to all of us who love to see DIY posts on this forum.
You'll probably speed through years of progression in a few short months. Take us along for the ride.

I know on my last order it gave some crazy price to ship at first. I went back and logged in and then went back through checkout process and it gave me a better price. From 15 to about 5 bucks.
Do you have a single example of liteaf not servicing their products?
I'm just curious as to why you are so willing to disparage this company solely because it's a small business. It's no...
Yeah the suggestion that buying something from "just one guy" is taking a risk is silly.
How did most cottage gear makers start out?
Also, suggesting that you are beta testing a product that...
Haha. The virus progresses.
That looks great!
You'll be sewing up your own topquilt before long.
That is definitely some slippery material. You'll get a feel for how to handle it better and feed it into the machine but it is finicky.
In regards to cutting, a super sharp pair of FABRIC ONLY ...
Nice work, OneClick.
The virus has only just begun.
Don't be overly critical of your workmanship. I promise you, once you've gotten some functionality out of your diy gear, the imperfections...
hookworm was a cute name. Ringworm just sounds nasty. Cool hardware though.
Welcome. There are so many great cottage vendors. You can view the vendors list.
If you are looking to get started with an all in one kit, check out hammockgear.com
They have a great kit...
Great video! Ya'll hang out like old friends. It's charming.
Florida really has so much to offer. It looked as if ya'll had stepped back in time a couple of hundred years.
This thread has me in shambles. Hilarious.
"hurt butt hang". lmao.
I did a forum search for the "poopy butt hang" right after oneclick posted, with no results. I had to know the details of a...
This is a cool idea. Dynamic forces is the key term. How could you get a proper hang angle to minimize the force applied with that system?
Also, three hammocks bouncing around could provide some...
That looks like a nice upgrade. Good tools make the job easier.
You'll have a full sewing room before long. I confiscated our dining room a couple of years ago.
What projects do you have on...
I never leave mine at home anymore. It doesn't matter which tarp I bring, whether it's full coverage, hex, or minimalist asym. It's the only piece of equipment that I will transfer over to whichever...
What product is that from? I know they sold those fifteen dollar day packs from China. If they move production of any of the quilts or hammocks to China, that will be a problem for me. I never...
Have fun PG. I have a sneaky suspicion that any knot you may need to tie, there will be no problem pulling directly from memory.
I'm very grateful to the Spaceweasel and vendors. This forum provides so much more than just hammock talk and the folks who make up this community seem to be some of the best folks around.
My...
Thats brilliant. Doesn't that effectively eliminate the need for an actual pocket?
That looks cozy. The amount of down around your neck is wild.
Hey Shug,
What is the facemask you are wearing in this video? Is it fleece?
I've been trying to modify some neck gaiters to do the same covering of my nose and cheeks, but need a prototype...
So you used all of the down in the comforter and you weren't able to weigh it beforehand?
Fill power will be lower from a comforter.
You can check many of the cottage makers and they will have...
[emoji23][emoji23] smart man!
And Your baking skills are epic.
Thanks for another video. Nice job sticking with the trip and riding out the wind. Takes guts.
Good thing you had the airpad to soften the fall. Like Cmoulder, I would hope you had a knot to cap things off after the bury.
Haha.
Yeah she seems like a sweet person. Pretty easy on the eyes too.
She made this video years ago about why she ditched hammocks for a tent. She never mentioned what a crap setup she had. It was an eno with no Ridgeline, a diy plastic and duct tape tarp, and looked...
Good looking product. That Jared is a machine. I will definitely end up giving him some business one day.
Try the kleimheist, or do knots in general cause the consternation?
Yessir, thems is some purty teeth.
I sure hope the keyboard bullies never succeed in driving you away from making videos. Too much good comes from it. And I think most who watch benefit from and appreciate your mojo.
Search for a down calculator. That will help you determine baffle height, loft needed for your desired temp of 0*, and how much down will be required based on the fillpower of down that you use....
Recycling down is a great way to save money. There are a lot of previous posts of people making underquilts. I've made a topquilt and it was labor intensive, but very rewarding. Like you I...
May be overkill and I wouldn't depend on it to actually resist a heavy rain. Amazon has gone to absolute crap in terms of the products that they recommend, the quality of those products, and the...
A dyneema square bottom food bag.
Where are these made?
Those red ones are a dead ringer for Papa Smurf shoes. Looks like a good deal for some warm feet.
Thanks for another great video to break the winter doldrums. It's good to know you can carry everything you need for subzero cold camping on your back.
Welcome! It looks like you are on your way. Hammock Quest: Condolences and congratulations. :lol:
I feel really silly, but this is first I've heard of soft shackles? What are they? Do they come with my tarp or do I order them seperately?[/QUOTE]
