Specify the Alder Hammock (no net) out of Hyper D1.6, because it is 58" wide.
I like a more narrow hammock.

The hammock I used for years gave out and spilt side to side at the GHSP Fall Festival Hang.
It was made of a fairly thin, light, rip stop Walmart fabric I found in 08.
At least that's when I find the first picture of like hammock. It's possible I made a second one out of that same fabric at some point but I don't remember.

I started sleeping in my hammock, in my bedroom in 07 and started using the camo one when I made it in 08 for every night at home and backpacking trips I went on.
Even if I did make a new one out of that same Walmart fabric, I still got some good years out of that fabric at $1 per yard.

Now I'm just going to buy one (maybe with a mod or two) and I'm always impressed with the pictures I see of Autumn Leaf's work.

I will check and see if she can ship me one. Idk if Barry Garibaldi is coming or not, he is her rep

Will be good to see you again Tacoma.

We can have a burn pile that can go on fire when no one is cooking. Or it can be burnt in a nearby fire ring, flammables only
Tacoma and Esther glad to know you got off work

Did Cajunracer and MrPickl go to New Orleans?
Maybe we can chime in their Podcast Thursday 700 PM

Tazmaniac you get a free pass, You are Yates.
I’m a bit edgy about plastics being tossed in campfire while I’m cooking, heating coffee water or breathing. Not a rule, just sayin...

Ok she is sending me an Alder for you to try! We will be there around lunch Saturday!

Hello Slowhike! This is Anne Marie with Autumn Ultralight.

I am sending down my personal Alder made from HyperD for you to try out. It is 58 inches wide and comes with one of my baganizer stuff sacks, an adjustable ridgeline, and my Becket Hitch suspension with Dyneema tree straps Becket Loops. Shannon Harris will be bringing it with her.

Man that is unbelievable awesome!!!
I would have never guessed you would do such!
Every time I look at your work, it's perfect. I was liking the baganizer stuff sack too. Glad to see it in person.
I thank you Anne Marie!

BTW, what is the length of your hammock?

You're so very welcome! And thank you for the kind words. I love what I do and try to make my gear as nice as I possibly can. The hammock is 11 foot long and I just whipped up a new suspension for it so you're hanging on fresh dyneema.

Very cool.
11 foot is my preferred hammock length.
Thank you!
