So i was an avid hammock camper until about 2 years ago and life got in the way. So I now have free time and better funding for gear than back then. I went the MYOG route last time and greatly enjoyed the projects and made every thing from tarps, hammocks, whoopies, bag covers, bug nets and all. I still have all my gear but would like to upgrade some of the stuff or remake some stuff. For example my hammock I made was 10 foot and while it’s comfy and works I think I would benefit from a 11 to 11.5 hammock and it would be more comfy. But from looking at the market it seems hanging gear has gotten much more economical than back then.
My question is for ones that have made your own gear then have also bought gear do you regret your purchases and still use the made gear or is the bought gear superior than the gear you made? Granted I know this is kinda dependent on the skills of the maker from a quality stand point. But would still like to hear your input on the topic.
