    Almost Done, kinda

    Well almost done with my first attempt with a DIY Hammock, I decided to go with the HH clone. The instructions were great.

    It was an adventure learning to thread inject enough to be able to do it with a ton of pain, questions, and mishaps. But finally started getting much more comfortable.

    At this point I still want to get a bug cover made and get a little more line for the pull outs on the sides. (make that, I want to make it) and then on to the tarp.

    But I still need work on the suspension even though it held me up it just didnt seem to go up fast. And that could be do to the fact that I have never set one up or laid in one till tonight.

    For now I using a the cord to webbing way of setting it up, and using the":marlin spike hitch" (hopefully that is what its called). having issues being able to adjust easily withouth undoing everything.

    I still have to set up the ridge line as well even though everything iis in place, jsut need to figure out how long o make it.

    Any advice will be awsome.

    In the pics you will see i dont have the pull out used since I am not sure 100% what setup to use them, meaning standard cord i have been using with a regular stake or something completely different.

    On the side tie outs I use shock cord. It flexes when you enter and exit the hammock.
