I have once again ordered 3 yards instead of 4 yards of fabric (monotlite this time) intended for a single layer hammock. I'm pretty sure I know the answer but there's no good way to tack an extra...

Forgive the bad estimates of how long I needed things. I realize this is just 3 but adding a 4th should be pretty straightforward. Hopefully this helps.

Four half dog bones, with the non-eye end buried in the eye end of the adjacent one? Would that work? If that doesn't make sense I can try to draw or make one

My spaceweasel went completely overboard. 3 different spliceable ropes, a couple of hats, a whole ton of down (800 fill), pillow, thermometer, headlamp, spoons, a buff, and a hotdog fork.

I used some partial sheets that I loosely tacked together before putting a shell around it

Thanks to both of you, I should have known I was overthinking it.

I'm trying to get up the courage to make a down topquilt. The last thing I'm trying to figure out is how to close the ends of the baffles. I get that the top and bottom of the baffle get sewn to...

Another vote here for the fabric channels. I made a 5oz climashield one with the RSBTR kit and while it worked fine, getting the shock cord to slide through the grosgrain (either building or in use)...

Yep, that's exactly what I needed! thank you

I appreciate it

I've been trying to understand how the symmetrical topcover/bugnet fit. I assume its kinda a diamond shape with something like a 110" ridgeline and maybe a 48" beltline (for lack of a better term). ...

You were on an off roading site weren't you? I've been tempted to make a few that big just because if something does go wrong it's not a large chunk of metal that goes flying

I think this might be the answer... Now to order material for the shell

I mean, my diagram is basically baffled.... Without the walls. Would sing the baffle walls gain me anything? The ends of the narrow pieces still get sewn into the side hems.

I recently made an underquilt for a buddy out of the 5oz apex. Somehow I ended up with 2 rather large scraps, 1 51" square and another thats roughly 4 yards long but only 8" wide. Since this is...

End tie outs? I'm not sure I'm following and this is something I could really use

I've been fascinated by the thought of making a pack but fear the lack of anything frame like. Have you gotten around that somehow or do you just not have one?

I am not really using my Hennessy anymore but the nest is still the only underquilt I have/use. That said, the couple of times I used it with the Hennessy it was really nice...

Cool, thats basically what I was going to do but I was concerned that putting the two edges directly together would cause some stress. If course, I think it was only going to stress me, not the...

Depending on just how short you might find that a kid's bag works. I've seen some that fit up to 66" (5'6") which would easily fit my 5'2" wife. That might solve a good number of the problems and...

I'm pretty sure I have the d-rings.... though I don't know that I know where they go. I was assuming 1/2" grosgrain is 1/2" grograin and I already have some.

Well, I've placed my materials order.... wish me luck. I'm kinda worried I'm gonna screw something up but I think I can do it.

Hopefully my material list is complete.

Welcome, seems like there's close to half a dozen in Richmond that I'm aware of (though only through these posts).

Welcome, I'm in Richmond too!

So maybe we should ask you questions to pad your post count? (kidding)

I know for me its at least 50% date. I'll be out of town basically every other weekend in April already.

I've probably been gone too many weekends to be there the whole time but I'm going to see if I can get a pass to come down for a few hours.

I think it's both, basically you just flip it over for an opposite lay.

So, it was 15mph winds all night and somewhere in the low to mid 20s (some claimed upper teens). I had on under armor leggings, a light down coat, and a soft shell. I was fine except when the wind...

Plan is next weekend. Low of 37 is the current forecast. Basically just need to decide if I'm taking something else for backup in case I estimated wrong.
