Silnylon: What weight & breathability?

[ripstopbytheroll]

Hi Kyle, I think I'll save the Multicam for a stealth tarp project and go for the 1.0 HyperD. I've just placed an order. Can you recommend what kind of thread I should be using to stitch the hems and gathered end with this material?

I've always used tex 40 polyester thread for the sides, stuff sack, etc and then tex 70 polyester or upholstery thread for the end-channels.

That's very useful, thanks hutzelbein!



Hi Thumbs, what is the knotty mod? I've been trying to search for something about it on the forum to no avail!

I made a 1.1 multicamo 11.6foot single layer last year which is comfortable. It was sketchy with my girl friend and I in it and over weighted. I made a 1.6 hyper D 11.6 foot single layer hammock recently and it is super comfy alone and feels safer with two of us which I prefer cause alittle extra strength is a good thing. I have found 11.6 feet to be better then shorter I am 5,7. I want to make a 1.0 eventually.

Keep it 1.6 my friend. You're lucky to have someone to cosy up to that weight limit with.

The 1.0 would be a "dont get in here with me" hammock.
