Hey everyone,
This is a repost in a different forum. I am new to the site and posted my first thread in the wrong forum area. My hope is that by posting this thread here it will draw more attention...not that I am an attention hog only that I am trying to get as much input as possible. Thanks to SHUG for his quick response...I am also posting my second question as found on the "Introduce Yourself" Forum. Thanks again to all...I can't wait to get hangin in the woods this spring.

Hi...I am brand new to the forum but I have watched probably 100 or more vids on hangin...I want to make all my own gear 'cuz that's how I roll. However, I need info on the best material (what wt. ripstop) for my DIY hammock and same for the silnylon for my tarp and how to navigate this site to find asym hammock designs and specs. I also was wondering how far apart to put the posts in my yard this Spring so that I can hang at home...looking to use whoopie slings for my suspension adjustment and maybe some light weight webbing to protect the trees...pretty much any info that y'all can post would be great...I am looking forward to posting my very fist pics in the months to come of my completed hammock/tarp. Thanks everyone...good to be on the site
Oh yeah...any websites to buy materials and accessories would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info Shug...I have already checked out most of the sites...now what I want to know is what wt. ripstop will be good for my hammock...when I'm in shape I weigh 190lbs...when I'm out of shape (like now) i weigh 210lbs...will a lighter ripstop suffice...i.e. the 1.1oz ripstop? Anyone else want to chime in??? I'm loving the prices...I can start working on my project beginning next month...but I still want as much input as possible...Shug, could you tell all your buddies to check out this thread and add their two cents...i'd appreciate it.
