Wonder if I can con Jared into making a hammock with integrated synthetic UQ
(Jump to the 3rd paragraph for my actual question)
Got back from WY last week,, 3 days, 2 nights in 10-20 deg and winds to 40 mph.
I have been a Maryland/VA/WV May-Sept kayak camper and saw no...
More good ideas,, Thanks.
Besides Superior Hammock,, anyone else making integrated UQ hammocks?
For now,, the winter camping will be accompanying family on their elk hunts out west.
Camp is set up where we park the hunting vehicle (F250 for now),, You can camp wherever,, but have to keep the...
No Elk were harmed this trip,, We were 2-3 minutes behind a group of 6 cows,, unfortunately they scattered 200 yards in front of us when a "SidexSide" came down a path.
We cut tracks and followed...

Yup,,

I am going to have to bring his old HH Safari out and have him lay in each to see what, if any difference there is.
I will have him lay in the Chameleon without the UQ and lay in the Safari and have...

Edit: he has a Chameleon 11' wide
My son (6'-4", 225) has used a Safari for a few years and just got a 11' Chameleon wide (68" wide), He was only spent 1 night in the Chameleon but said he was not...
With the zip on UQ being 53" and the wide Chameleon being 68"" does the Zip-on UQ hamper a full diagonal lay?
My 6'-4" son has a wide width 11' chameleon and the Zip on UQ,, used it 1st time this...
Apparently my son is only 6'-3"
Dutch recommended the WIDE 11' netless
Whats your thoughts on the 12' vs WIDE 11' ??
Any downside to getting the 12',, it looks like it is the same width at 68"...
Been a while, because my Dream Hammock Darien and SLD sidewinder are working perfect :)
Anyhow, My son lives in CO and does some sun up to sun down hikes/hunts,, They typ nap mid day.
He has...
Yeah, it's kinda like setting off a thermonuclear bomb for all insects in your yard.
Now just spray some round up for the weeds and you can wipe out all the amphibians and fish,,
These threads come up every year or two.
And in the end,, there is nothing you can do but enjoy the light show and hope for the best.
Digging up an old thread,, would you sell those tri-angle cinch buckles??

one question on making a synthetic Wooki (Climashield)
When sewing the climashield and outer shell to the "Top Shell", do you lay the top shell flat to sew it together?...
For the cost, I just ordered a synthetic wooki clone from Simply light design,, cant beat the price :)
I think you just sold 2 of these, hope your getting a commission :)
How do you feel the temp rating is ?
We kayak camp (in WV)starting in mid may through mid October.
We will see 2 or so trips...
How does it compare to the Wookie for fitment?
Looking for a Wooki style UQ for my sons WBBB XLC, but synthetic.
Thanks,
His prices are crazy reasonable,, Sending an email about colors
Wasted to much time looking for material, kayak season is on me.
Do any of the cottage manufactures make a synthetic (Climashield) Wooki ?
I asked Brandon, but he said only down, and I want (need...
Any other places to get 67-70" wide ripstop (1.0 - 1.2 oz uncoated)??
RSBTR is out of stock for at least another month.
looking for grey and burnt orange.
Seaming really wont work as it would be a...
Any word on when the 67" wide 1.2 MTN ripstop wide be re-stocked (Burnt orange and grey) ??
Thanks,
Nick
I was thinking about a seam,, But I suck at seams :)
Straight up sewing, I'm ok,, but fancy good looking seams, nope.
So, I am going to attempt to make Climashield "Wookis" for a WBBB XLC and a DH Darien.
The XLC is 62" wide (orange) and Darien is 70" wide (Charcoal).
I really do not want to go over about 1.0oz...
For me:
the material savings (cost) of a 3/4 is not worth the penny pinching, like what, saving $8 in material.
Size,, I Kayak camp. The additional 3oz and 30 cu inches wont affect me.
With a full...
Not looking for cheaper, just in stock,, only showing 2 yds :(
It is 67" wide, probably 65-66 useable,, not sure if that would affect the wooki on a true 70" wide hammock?
I am making a Synthetic Wooki (Snooki) for my DH Darien.
My Darien is 70" wide, Charcoal Grey.
So I am looking for some 1.0 - 1.2 ripstop nylon in Charcoal around 70" wide for the top shell of...
Thanks for the suggestions,, I am settling in on making a "Clima Shield Wooki" and adding Hammock hooks near/at the hammock tie outs (if needed),, or something similar to Steves idea.

Thanks,
Slack
So for those of you who have made a synthetic "Wooki"
The top shell is a rectangle fabric the same size as your hammock?,,,
To that you attach the climashield and outer shell in the size/area of...
I plan on making the UQ as wide as the pattern dictates it should be.
Does anyone have hooks sewn on the hammock as Dream Hammock offers?
Is a "Wooki" just mean it has a Full length top shell?...
I have made many UQs for my horde of Hennessey hammocks, and they have worked well.
I always made a pattern out of a table cloth, with someone laying in the hammock.
When constructing them I made a...
Hammock camping for 10+ years,, most times I have 3-6 people in hammocks,, never had a failure.
We are kayak campers, so we don't count grams. My straps are 3500# rated and slightly thicker than the...
I just could never do it, I could never hang one end of a hammock from a vehicle, climb in and goto sleep. I would have to pull the plug wires and put them in my ridge line organizer. :)
I have not had any problems with the zipper, I just like big beefy hammocks, and big beefy zippers :) (my darien is a DL 2.2)
I had the same reservations when I received my WBBB XLC this summer.
The zippers seamed so small and frankly, hard to "find" or grasp.
I am a kayak camper so size and weight is not a major issue...
Back to work,, specifically order 7207 ! :)
Are you all sure you aint pissing in your sleep ? lol
I quickly sewed up an UQ when I got my 1st HH hammock, I tried a sleeping bag and layers but was cold.
I have 4-5 UQs for my various hammocks,...
This is all I see reading your story,,

Don't worry about them "ready to ship" items,, get back to work on the orders :)
Unless you are a youth or midget, the HH Expo is gonna not be comfortable.
My 2 HH Expo's are strictly for kids these days.

I attended the Chicken from about 84-87,, lone star long necks were 50 cent, pitchers of pearl were 1.00, Shiner Bock (My now beer of choice) was not yet in there?
