    New DIY hammock based on Clark North American

    This is my first DIY hammock and I'm very pleased with how it came out. I've made countless stuff sacs. and ran thru quite a bit of thread just learning how to get what I want from my thread injector. But I figured, if I test myself and start with this, then it will only get better from here.
    This one is physically larger than my North American, but packs up to half the size.

    That is very sharp looking! Nicely done. If this was an "early" project for you, you're off to a great start. What a way to start and do a first diy hammock.

    Beautiful! Did you use just a length of 'coil' zipper? The under cover looks like it will be perfect. Should be very warm.
    Since I retired, some times I stay awake all day, some times all night.

    Sorry for the delay,
    Thank you!
    Yes, I used 2 pieces of coil zipper, one for the bug net and one for the weather shield.

    Wow! You did an awesome job. Curious about what materials you use and with the space savings... what the weight savings might be. Great job!

    Very impressive-----------well done!
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.
