Is this contest just for the hammock, or does it include the tarp as well?

I think it is hammock only, at least he said "I want to know your dream gear list for a hammock"

However I saw a few tarp builds in some answers.

I am making mine hammock only...which is why I am still up!

Not in as shipping to Canada would be BAD but wanted to say good on ya man. Very generous.

Its to bad i would love to try my hand at an insulated hammock alla bonefire or sheltowee.

I've been on the receiving end of Dutch's giveaways already (plus I already have one DIY Dutch hammock to my credit) so I'll take a pass. I know a sewing machine would be sweet too, but I think I'll hold out for a thread injector.

Amazing thing you're doing here Dutch! Love what you're offering. Never made a hammock before but it's been in the books so here goes!

The plan is for 3 (yep, three) PolyD 1.4 hammocks, one for my wife, one for our son (it'll be a small one) and one for myself. The two for my wife and I would be 11 feet with a knotty mods, and the other would be 8 feet. Black whoopie hook suspension for all three with black 4 foot huggers and Fronkey Bug Nets for All!

4 yards Deep Purple PolyD 1.4
4 yards Dark Olive PolyD 1.4
3 yards Navy Blue Poly D1.4
3 pairs of 4' huggers
Spool of Grey thread
50 feet of black amsteel
whoopie hooks x8
25 feet of lash it
9 yards of NoSeeUm bug netting
4 mini cord locks
Splicing needles
10 inch loop turner

I would like to make an 11 ft 1.2 Poly D hammock. It would almost be a normal DL but I would leave 7 inches offset on each side to make my hammock wider for comfort so it would be around 6 ft wide and 11 ft long. I also want to attempt to incorporate cat-cuts on opposing corners to lessen extra fabric around head and feet but still allow me a flatter lay without my feet trying to pop out the side. (would make it have a specified direction of lay like head left/feet right) It would be a traditional gathered end hammock but I want it to also have a Knotty Mod to see if that will take up any extra fabric still present. It would have a ridgeline. I want it to be a multi-season hammock so I will either make a removable fronkey style bug-net and zippered wind barrier for colder months or I will try to incorporate a layered zippered hammock, with it capable of being both a bug-net and a windbarrier at the same time with something like the Argon 67 and similar to the Hammeck set ups like the envy I believe it is called. The remains of fabric will be used for a stuff sack and sack for suspension since I like those separate. That and I would make a peak bag to tuck both the bugnet and windbarrier in, one for each end. I would use the left over noseeum for ridgeline pouches. I would also like to try using a tarp pole mod for the bugnet and windbarrier to keep it off of my face. I would also include Quilt hooks onto the edge in atleast two places because I toss and turn so much that it would help keep both my top quilt and bottom quilt in place.

Materials:
8 Yds of 1.2 PolyD
8 Yds of Argon 67
8 Yds of No Seeum
2 cord locks
25 ft shock cord
50 ft of Amsteel
2 zippers at atleast 12 ft each
25 ft of webbing for suspension
Dutch clips
Whoopie hooks
Gutterman Thread
Cinch Buckles
Grossgrain 25 ft
Tarp pole Mods
2-4 Aluminum quilt hooks

Some of these ideas are really good. My daughter will be picking them by random but there are many that I want to see made. Keep them coming.

Well this would be interesting...... as I have never used a sewing machine in my life.
What better time than now?

I would like an 11 1/2' Dark Olive Poly D 1.4 hammock with an integrated bugnet and a modified fronkey style winter cover (overcover made in the style of Fronkeys bugnet) with inset of nano no seeum for view and venting and sew on quilt hooks. I want black webbing suspension with Adutchable clip sewn on my tree straps and titatium buckles.

4 yards Dark Olive Poly D 1.4 (Hammock)
4 yards Yellow/Orange Poly D 1.2 (overcover)
5 yards nano no seeum
Olive green thread
Black thread
Pair of adutchable clips
Pair of titanium cinch buckles
30' black webbing
25 feet orange 7/64" amsteel for continuous loops and fixed ridgeline
2 aluminum sew on quilt hooks
zipper for bugnet
2 feet lash-it
3 mini cord locs
11 feet 3/32" shock cord
10 inch loop turner
splicing needles

Well, then let me revise and extend my remarks:

To prove that wider and longer is better:

A 12' long x 6' wide Argon 1.6 hammock


8 yards brown Argon 1.6
25 Feet Zing It
(2) Cinch Buckle (I use dyneema racer slings instead of Amsteel loops)
Brown Gutterman
(2) Dutch Clips
25 feet webbing

Then:

You ship the thread injector to another person and I'll pay you to ship him/her 4 yards of his/her choice of hammock nylon.

Since you specified hammocks, here goes: I would make a gathered end hammock setup for my wife - with integrated privacy screen (think like the freezer flaps, it would slide along the ridgeline) since 1) we have 3 boys and 2) she tends to sleep cold. If you had insulation, I would make a full-length insulated one - probably will anyway.

Materials:
Titanium Dutch Clips (Pair)
Cinch Buckle (pair)
25 Feet of Black Premium Webbing
25 Feet silver 7/64 amsteel
25 Feet Dynaglide (ridgeline)
7 yards NoSeeUm bug netting (fronkey style bugnet - if ok by the rules, would go over privacy screen)
ARGON 90 - 6 yards Deep Purple (privacy screen, ridgeline organizer, stuff sack, outer for insulation layer)
Gutterman Thread - Deep Purple
NylonD 1.6 - 4 yards Deep Purple (hammock, stuff sack)
2 mini cord locks
