Just joined the forum and, like all my other hobbies, am getting caught up in the DIY aspects of camping gear and mods to commercial products. I'm making a few stuff sacks and re-purposing a mosquito bar on a Magellan (Academy Sports) 9.5 ft hammock. Flipped my first hammock entry but now understand some basics, (like gravity) and ridgeline, thanks to Youtube. I'd like to make or buy an entry level hammock in a longer config than my current 9.5 ft and learn to sleep diagonally. I have a 10x13 tarp that I have pitched 3-4 different ways, and don't yet need over or under quilts, but would appreciate input on them as well as pads or mattresses. I could also use some intel on types of reasonably priced materials to learn to sew with.
The HF site appears to be where most of the knowledge resides, so I'm looking forward to learning. Are there some posts that cover the 101 class on hammocks?
Thanks for any suggestions! Jack
