[QUOTE=LowTech;2090180]Sat the 16th, or Sun the 17th?
I can only assume that date's listed in post #1 are the correct date's.
I'm in, looking forward to Green Chile hamburgers and potatoes, and meatballs/pasta
I plan on bringing a 2 burner.
Sounds good, put it on my calendar.
They are indeed drip rings that came with Clark Hammocks, not descender rings.
Check out Blue Jay Campground off of Ortega Highway (74). Quite a few of the sites are hammock friendly. No reservations needed. First Come First Served.

30’ CRL: Fixed Loop Alien on one end, sliding Loop Alien on other end, Nama Claws in the middle.
No knots, easy quick setup and very easy to adjust tarp to center
...
Am I wrong to assume you used a drill to drill holes in the 2x2’s in order to install the hinges?
If so, just drill holes in your metal top rail and install “EYE” bolts to hang the top rail to your...
Bought my Eldorado in May of this year, have nothing to compare it to. No carabiners on the ends but it does have an elastic band where the bug net is attached to the hammock body.
CRL: 33’ of Lash-It, 2 small Alien Loops, 2 Nama Claws.

I'm in for Thursday
Mark the location with a hand held GPS and then share the exact location (coordinates) and a short description.
Line Lock Hooks will work with 1/2" Beasty D-Rings https://dutchwaregear.com/product/line-lock-hook/
These will work with split rings, triangles or Grosgrain loops ...

I don’t know which model you’re looking at but at 5’9” the “L” would work but I would suggest the XL would be more comfortable.
Their web site says Large for up to 6’ but that's that only 10’ long....
Just picked up a HG dyneema 11' hex camo @ 15% off on sale 2 weeks ago.
I’m in agreement with Fimbul & Halfed. Just larks head it on and your good to go.
At one time I utilized Hookworms but Warbonnet’s FishHook’s kept stealing them
The Jarbidge is made to be used with gathered end hammocks. The Ridge Creek is designed for Bridge hammocks.
Slackdaddy, you might take a look at the Breeze Buckles by Autumn Ultralight
And then some!
I've installed lots of Beastie D-Rings that way with no problems using side cutters.
I don’t think 8 feet would be any less stable than 7 feet still keeping the spread at 48”. Keep in mind, the higher the hammock is off the ground within the stand the less stable the setup would be...
You use a 3/8" drill bit for the 3/8" Eye bolt. Don't forget to "dimple" so the drill bit doesn't wander.
Here are the lock washers....
Wild Flower, I used 3/8” Eye bolts on the ridge pole and ¼” bolts to attach the hinges. Don’t forget to use “fender washers” on the non hinge side as well as lock washers in addition to the “fender...
Just ordered a bottle today from Amazon $12.74
Dang Texans, don't. Know a good thing when they see one
I like chili soup!
Wild Flower, "If I piece together my ridgepole from two cut-down fence top rails, does it matter if the pieces are wildly different lengths?"
No it won’t matter. My center section is 7’ and the...
Sounds mighty tasty, I would enjoy that.
Wild Flower,
New question: Eye bolt requires a hole in the pole, yes, that is correct. Drilling a hole in metal is the same a drilling a hole in wood. Just a little more resistance and no more...
Wild Flower,
To answer your original questions
1 use a center punch to make a small indention in the metal so the drill bit will remain centered and not wander. I already covered the flimsy table....
Wild Flower, My build is on page 162 post #1615
2 pictures post #1618
No need to use your “flimsy table” to drill. Lay one of your 2” tripod legs on the floor and then lay the ridge pole on that at...
My CRL consists of 2 Loop Aliens, one fixed at one end and the other is adjustable near the other end. In between are 2 Nama Claws. After securing the tarp in tarp skins and removed from CRL, I slide...
Depending on the size of the trees in your local parks, SOLUTION:
2” X 4’ Tree Hugger, 6’ to 15’ (your preference) 1” Tree Strap, Dutch’s Titanium Toggles, whoopee sling.
Larks head the 1” Tree...
Not for the gram weenies nor most backpackers, but I like these!

Are those the Costco potatoes that Addam brought last year you’re making reference to?
This hang is open to ALL hangers!
I am certainly interested.
I went to their website. It says shipping will be calculated when you put items in the basket. I did and the shipping is about 2/3 the cost of the item so I just closed it out.
Shug has a one pole table that someone gifted to him, and can see in some of his videos
I use these: https://www.autumnultralight.com/product-page/ultralight-pole-mod-kit
Good to know rubbing alcohol actually works, Thanks.
Take a look at this thread: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/140811-Advice-on-removing-pine-resin-off-tarp?highlight=Tree
Scrambled egg on a Ti grill, I'm guessing that's quite a feat!
Can’t confirm as I have never tried it but have heard others say they put the straps in the in the freezer for awhile and then it just flakes off. I would try it first before using chemicals.
My tarp for my Turtle Dog Stand has LineLoc 3’s attached to the tarp ends.
I insert “S” hooks in the ends of the top rail and then 2.5mm line to the LineLok’s
All this goes under the top rail which...
