Thank you LowTech, I'm looking at it right now

CougarMeat,

I did it too, hanging my backpack on my suspension line, but I want my gear more accessible from my hammock, especially my boots.
But I think I have found the perfect gear sling, this...

Well I'm 6,2 I should not have any problem for adjustment.

About the gear sling size, I want just big enough for my backpack and my boots.
I will go see your suggestions.

OK I saw that gear...

A toad!! Haha!

A couple of years ago I had a dog bitten by a thick and he caught Lime desease...
Since, I try to be careful when I'm out in the woods.

Wow great alternative!
What I like is we dont have to set the hammock too high for the sling to fit under

I got one already but I want a place for the backpack and boots for the night

In fact I don't have the gear sling yet that's why I came here with this question, before buying one.
But I think you are right, if I buy it I guess it will end under the Sock.

I wanted it inside...

Wow thanks ScottS for testing this!

Yes of course but its not answering my question

Hi everyone!

I ordered a Dutchware Winter Sock and I would like to add a gear sling under my hammock but inside de Sock, do you think the Winter Sock is deep enough to do this?

Thank you

Thank you very much Shug !!
Nothing better than a video :)

Wow nice explanation Phantom!!!
Thx!
In the past I diy a jarbridge underquilt clone, but this time I really want to add some shock cord to get a better fit.

I know but some says that the underquilt is going to slip and fold like an accordéon in the middle...

Thank you that's exactly what I will do!!! At each end with a knot and something to tentions on the other side

Hi Folks !

Question here, I'm diy an underquilt and I want to adjust it in the middle of the hammock with a shock cord.

If you look at my drawing, I want to run a shock cord through the channel...

Ok what I finally did is a top quilt with the fleece blanket.
My blanket was 90" by 90", I folded it in half so now its 90" long by 45" wide and then I folded the Botton to create a footbox and...

Yes it's a possibility, I did it with a snugpak Jungle blanket, turned it into a top quilt with camsnap :)
I think I will go this road

Ok thank for the feedback guys!

I forgot to say that, if I use the fleece with the top quilt, I will sew the blanket like a top quilt. I will use the fleece first and then the top quilt above.

Hi guys !

I want to use a fleece blanket with my top quilt this automn and I cant chose between these 2 options:

Stack my quilt with the blanket or
use the blanket as a top cover over my...

Thank you guys for the insight, I will keep it full length and I will also take a look at hammock socks, could be an interesting option to keep some warmth

Hi !

I only use 3/4 underquilt from hammock Gear,
Do you think I still need a full length UQP or I can use a shorter one to fit the 3/4 ?
I know that the weight will be approximatively the same...

Alright thank you, spreader bars on the way!

Ok thx!
I tought it has another purpose, security lock or something like that... Thx!

Hi everyone !!

Except to pack your straps, is it necessary to keep the shock cord on the dutch buckles ? I can see on some pictures the shock cord passing behind the continuous loop, some kind of...

Well Im not planing to buy another tarp, thats why I eonder if the dd tarp 3x3 is wide enough because I got one already :)

Hi everyone !

Do you think that a DD Hammock 10x10 tarp is big enough for 2 hammocks with a spreader bar ?
My hammocks are 10 feet long so the tarp is long enough. But I wonder if its large...

I purchased the Traveller finally!
Single layer 1.6
Im in hammock camping since a couple of years and I will finally try one from Warbonnet.
I will mix it with my Hug bugnetor my bottom entry if...

Hi cougarmeat!

Yes I have a diy hug bugnet and a bottom entry.

I already own dutchware hammocks, dd hammocks and some diy, I want a hammock for every member of my family and I want to try a new...

Hutzelbein hi !
Yes the Traveller is 62 wide, good point!

Hi guys !

I know that I will not be disapointed by these 2 choices but can you help me to make a choice?
Please dont suggest another hammock, I try to choose between:

Warbonnet Traveller SL...

Thx for your advices! I will sew the strap, I tried with knots and it looks ugly and big...

Thx guys ! The waterknot was the first thing that came in mind too. Im trying it now, not easy to make it look clean. I guess I will sew it as your recommandations.

Hello guys !!!!

I did a lot of spliced continuous loop out of amsteel but this time Im curious to try with a piece of suspension strap.

I could sew the strap to make a loop but, if I want to...

Lollll

Thx guys!

Hi!

I larks head my ridgeline on my continuous loop and when the hammock is loaded, the larks head apply some pression to the fabric, is it safe or I should use another method to attach the...

I hate bugnet too but here in Canada, it's suicidal to go without one.

I'm using a diy half bugnet, inspiration from Tacblades's video. I leave it on the hammock all the time, I just move it like...

Ok I tried it with an hexon 1.6 fabric and its holding strong, but its not good looking as a sewn channel. The folded part is about 5 inches long, I just folded this part 2 more times on itself and I...

Thank you, I like the simplicity of thid method and, as you said, so easy to modify length, folding etc.

Thank you !!

So it should work fine with classic amsteel 7/64 ?

Hi everyone, anyone tried this type of whipping?
Is it a safe way to do it, I tried the 3 stitches way and the warbonnet style too but I never tried this method...

...

Hi everyone!

Can you give me some ideas to make an improvised toggle for my tree strap, I know I can use a stick on the field but, any risk for the strap to get frayed if the toggle is a bit...

I only tried the shock cord prussik on the strap for the moment, I will have to test this on the field with a loaded hammock.

If I apply just a little force on the prussik, it can still move on...

I tried it and it works, the shock cord prussik can be just a little bit hard to move on the straps but its holding.

Started at 15, then 12 and now 10. Here in Quebec Canada I dont have any trouble to find trees to hang, if 2 trees are too far away, I move 4 or 5 feets away and bingo I can hang

Ok thanks !

Wondering if a prussik made of shock cord will stay in place on the strap...

Hi !!!

I want to try something...

I always hang my hammocks with polyester tree straps using a becket hitch.

If I tie a small loop of shock cord to my tarp and add a carabiner to it, is it...

Gracias amigos !

Its not for weight saving, I bought 3 yards to diy a small hammock for my 3 years old boy to fit in his room, but from those 3 yards I want it to be as long as possible.

So, about 3/4 for the...

Ok nice ! Do you think its possible to do it smaller? As long as the amsteel can pass through and I think I should allow a certain distance between the stitches...
