VIDEO: Part 10...Hammock How-To...Final, Finale, Fini...Tarps & Bits

[Counselor]

And an excellent audible illustration of how to pronounce Gross Grain! (at about 3:22 if you missed it)

Thanks for sharing Shug!

I think the same people that make Gross Grain must also make this (at least according to Shug)

[GrizzlyAdams]

Gibbon gave us "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" (three volumes)

Churchill produced "A History of the English-Speaking Peoples" (four volumes)

Tolkien gifted his "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy

Asimov brought forth "The Foundation Series" (seven volumes)

Lucas created the Star Wars family of films, stopping at a paltry six.

But shug, OUR shug, gave birth to a magnificent TEN EPISODE opus magnus, the like of which has not been seen before in the hammocking world.
Like finishing the final unread volume of a much-loved author, watching number 10 finish was bitter-sweet.

But shug lives on. Who knows what muse he may follow still. We have hope. We can hope.

@ Shug
I just finished video 10 and here you mentioned the nasty shock cord sag.
I slept out in -20c (-4F) a couple of weeks ago and had a terrible shock cord sag.

The UQ was fine when i went to bed, but awoke chilled later at night.
Discovered that the UQ was snug at the ends, but dipped about 10cm under my butt.
I was way to lazy to get out and tighten those cords, so i kept stuffing the
space with clothing.
Didn't help much !

So i might try out your shock cord saviors,
but did you ever try to switch to a fatter shock cord ?

I can't recall that i had this problem last winter with my other 1/2 UQ and that
one has some serious diameter shock cord.

I never knew if that was correct or not!

This hole series kind of exploded !
I haven't been on for awhile, checked in yesterday and found eight more episodes.
That, was pretty much my yesterday evening

And now numbero 10 !
But you are spoiling all the newcomers ,
imagine all the blood, sweat and tears you are robbing them of .
I sure would have liked this way back in 2002.
You don't want to know how long it took me to realize,
you didn't have freeze your bottom off in a hammock.
That, you actually could insert a pad in a hammock
I wouldn't trade those freezing nights for anything !
Ok, i would.
Great job Shug !

Well .... I hate to let things linger .... I may forget.
I may half-do it but I get it done. Family creed.

Great job Shug! .... Thanks so much for sharing all this info with us ......
Thanks ...

Hope there is something there .... plus, I got to camp!

I think the same people that make Gross Grain must also make this (at least according to Shug)

I use it......

I am not sure ... thicker may help but I still think an "up-lift" is just the thing for all that down.
Hate a chilly buttocks in severe temps.
