This rabbit hole is a deep one. Making your own gear isn’t for everyone but it certainly teaches you the mechanics of hammocks and it will help you troubleshoot your system on the trail.

That it certainly does

Thanks. You're not all that far from me. My backyard anyway. I live on the edge of Edmonton but like hike through the Kananaskis and Kootenay regions. My little lake is just north of Montana in the...

Glad you enjoyed it. Really. And thank you.

Many thanks

No I'm not published. Perhaps someday, though. For now, it's merely a hobby. And thank you!

You are most welcome. God Bless you!

Many thanks.

Thanks so much

Thank you. I am well at peace. Time doesn't heal wounds, but it does make them tolerable.

Every year I go out for some alone time. Last couple years I’ve hiked into a secluded spot overlooking a nearby lake and set up my hammock on the Friday for an overnighter. With camp set this year by...

Back from vacation ... thanks. I'm not sure about grade or fill power. It is for pillows. I get it this weekend. We'll see.

Folks, I am being given a couple bags of down. Is there anything that needs to be done to it prior to using in quilts, etc? Does it need to be treated or preserved in any sort of way?

Half insane? Dude, just let go ... and enjoy the ride.

You'll want the thin sides pointing toward the hammock, not the thick sides. Looking down your suspension lines, you should be looking directly at the 4" sides. The strength of a board or post is...

A lot of people wrap their stakes inside the tarp, i went the other way. My hex tarp is in a bishop bag and the lines are attached to both the tarp and stakes. I use a pencil roll, made from an old...

Salut, Meaxe. Awesome stuff. I'm just getting going myself ... nothing but time on my hands.

It does seem to be all that.

Thank you.

That's where I hope to end up with mine.

We have spots picked out in the backyard already.

I'll be a while before I have too many questions....

Cool.

That would be great. Thanks.

That's very generous. Thanks.

Hey, I'm new to hammocks. I have no equipment just yet, but will get going this spring/summer. Thought I would touch base with some folks in the Edmonton area and see if any of you meet up much.

Thank you for all your welcomes. I hope to be a worthy contributor in time.

I didn't read this as much as I sang it in my head. Thanks for the response Shug. You were a big inspiration to getting started.

Great idea. I found a thread for my area. Looks to be a few right in my neighbourhood.

Awesome. It's good to know I'm not alone. And we probably sailed together ... HMCS Athabascan during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. We called it Operation Friction.

Let's hope they never forget Dad.

Awesome. The healthy lifestyle is a good one, for more than just health reasons. Anytime you include your family in you hobbies, it's way easier to get permission to enjoy them. Great family building...

I am a total noob. An avid off-roader and overlander for years, I want to add a new dimension to it. I saw a couple pilots hanging in hammocks under the wings of their airplanes and decided to check...
