    Hey ya'll! I'm Dave from NC

    Found out about this community while researching how to make a hammock. My too tall Son outgrew his ENO, he's 16 years old and over 6' 6" tall and growing. I was going to make him one that fits. Upon my research I accidentally got interested in hammock camping so here I am in all my newby glory.

    Here the hammock I made. 11'9" with whoopie sling/marlin spike toggle suspension. Next, I'm making one for myself.

    regards,
    Dave

    Welcome from Charlotte. Nice job on the DIY project. I found this place years ago researching a hammock for my daughter. Lots of good info here.

    Greetings from Clayton. I go to White Deer Park on Aversboro Rd almost everyday after work to jog.
    Straight out of Clayton.

    Most physical hike: Grandfather Mountain, NC. Aug 13.

    I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.
