I will measure poles later . For a Beastee Dee size it is 13mm .
I am used for my superfly beastie and small loop of zingit .
Works like a charm!
I have once similar problem with Draumr. Then I twist strap and added drip lines as Shug mention.Never had that problem again.
Есть разные варианты изготовления подстежек , в частности обычно внешний слой больше внутреннего для зашиты от продувания или для более простой установки. Как пример подстежка...
Hi Nanok!
There is no new development of sort.I think VT tensioning for guylines is best for me right now.
I am slowly starting to sew some projects from dyneema, stuffsacks and zip pouches.
And I...
Даня , привет!
Я тут тоже один из носителей русского языка )
Осенью вполне нормально использовать гамак, нужен только подходящий тент и утепляющий слой снизу вроде подстежки.
Hi, Daniil.
I am...
Not the first from Russia :) I am from Russia as well. Lurking forum for at least couple of years.
Hey Nanok!
Thanks for sources.
I am from Russia so there is no realy cheap sources of UHMWPE rope . I mostly buy amsteel from Dutch . You can find average quality UHMWPE rope from aliexpress.
And...
Bought blemished superfly with some thinned material mid tarp.This was already seam sealed and worked without problems!
Here is my mod for superfly, no sewing required :)
Continious loop larks headed to beastie rings and tarp tie outs trinagle rings .
Hammock from cloud71 material will be lightweight as well.
For example
chameleon hexon 1.6 from Dutch weights 430 gramms
chameleon cloud71 from Dutch weights 236 gramms
It seems this is arborist rigging ring or thimble ring .IMHO not a hammock specific gear.
You can simply attach beastie d rings via small rope loop to a tarp as well.
Here you can find amok tarp doors and some other suggestions

I surely will measure poles when I get to them.
As about length of the interior pole - I do not have to cut poles to length , just made pole in sections that will be somewhere a little more then...
Warbonnet superfly tarp with internal poles, no sewing .
Pole ends inserted into beastie dring
Great solution ! Do you have plans or dimensions of your custom tarp doors ?

Thanks! Great diagramm.

Нива огонь ) Как в прочем и хамелеон с тентом )
Отличный сетап.
А что за тент ?
Yes, when I use same diameter rope it slips easily,so for ridgeline and guylines I am using 1.8 mm and for VT I am using 1.4mm rope,it grips very good,slide when unloaded easy and not binding so much...
Here is my tarp guylines tensioner and ridgeline tensioner .
Thanks nanok for idea!
I am using UHMWPE rope 1,8 mm and 1.2 mm
As others already says Picardin as lotion on skin and permethrin on gear before hiking are best bets IMHO.
Two turns helps keep this loop more open and stable ,so it is easier to put button knot in this loop when operated one handed.
And this is mostly because I am using 1,8 mm zing-it for soft shackle...
I have been using similar method of connecting parts which are under a load. Just a loop (continious or spliced at end rope ) larks headed twice to a soft shackle . Works similar as yours(works...
I think idea is protect tarp itself from ripping.
Yes, you can made ring more durable ring will not fail , but tarp will be ripped in half as weakest link in chain- so buckets of rain will be there...
Hi nanok!
Good to see more of your ideas . I liked your idea of using VT for auto guylines.I am somehow modified this design to work as tarp ridgeline auto tensioner , soon I wil test it on hike....
I am using Ethanol (Drinking Alchohol) somewhere around 70-75% (I am diluting 90% Ethanol with plain water ).
And using this diluted alchohol as fuel for my trangia spirit burner as well.

I am using alcohol for cleaning my straps, tarp ridgeline and tarp . Works great and best part of it that I can use alcohol as fuel for my trangia.
I have been using straps(becket hitch) -> whoopie -> soft shackle on hammock
For spreader bar you can use dedicated continiouds loop connected to hammock soft shckle (or loop).

I have Draumr XL and custom 20F UGQ Bandit TQ.
TQ works very well as blanket in draumr.
TQ has zippered footbox and no taper .So you can unwrap it as blanket.
One side note is draumr have...
This new method of splicing is realy neat and beatiful!
Can you post a video tutorial of making such a splice ?
I was looking to links you posted - it seems it will work.
You must consider several things when looking for Dyneema(UHMWPE) cordage(for making whoopies , UCR , continious lopps etc):

the shorter is part with prussik which grip end of bury then better. It will make a minimal distance between two ends of UCR more short wich leads to better fit when you try to hang between two close...

I have as well some trouble finding UHMWPE(dyneema) localy , but I live in Russia so go figure.
Then I found two sources of cordage with international shipping. Here is
Aliexpress china store with...
Great! Works for tarp hardware.
Dutch, is discount work for hammock suspension hardware? Or there is simply no discount for this type ?
I considered an idea to make my own tarp but when I calculated cost for materials, time, shipping to Russia (very expensive) and buying sewing machine I realized that is to much for me right now. And...

Sorry, English not my native language,I would like to help. But from what I read I cannot understand how you have problems to connect whoopie to tree straps and other end of whoopie sling to CL from...
Spray on only hammock and socks. Do not do it on your dog, she will be not happy about it :lol:
This is a good idea, but there is must be some small window for moisture to escape.
Something like moonlight cover from Dutch where you can adjust size of venting window.
You can contact guys...
I am using UCRs, total length is 6 feet and always take with me 3.2 feet dogbones for each UCR . With help of dogbone, you can extend UCR or Whoopie and will be surprised how it useful as standalone...
I am started to splice additional loop-handle into my UCR and continuous loop. It really helps to get a good grip and unweight the becket hitch knot.
