This is by far the best hammock I have made to date as far as finished looks go. On my previous hammocks, I struggled with making my stitches look half decent and the triangles at each end of the hammock were not the best looking. All-be-it, the stitches were strong just not clean. So I went to good ol' mom and asked her what I should do. She told me I was going about it all wrong and that I should be building my hammocks inside out and flipping them when I am done like she used to do when she made clothes for many years. This got the gears turning in the right direction for a change. So this is the finished result.
Its a single layer 1.1oz 30D Marpat Camo Hammock with Integrated Bug-Net that can be unzipped and stowed away at the foot end of the hammock via stow sack. Added an Adjustable Ridge line(UCR) and 6' UCR 7/64" Black Amsteel suspension with 8' long (3000lb BS) Polyester webbing tree straps. They have 0 stretch.
Total weight 23.5oz.
Enjoy, pumkinpete...on to the next one....FYI, I am building a guide to how I make these hammocks and once they are all complete I will post them here in this section for everybody interested in making themselves hammocks using my hammock and suspension attachment design.
