Great thread to follow, keep it coming by all means :)

Glad to have you here mate, nice to see another dane on the site. What Danish bushcraft community is that? don't think I know of it. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Looks really nice, especially like the little knife and sheath. Very neat looking.

I have a DD frontline as well, and it's absolutely worth it changing the suspension. I made some 6 feet whoopie slings. Larksheaded the fixed loop through the endchannel of the hammock. I then use treestraps around the tree, and tie a marlinspike hitch, using some aluminium tubes as toggles...

Hehe, thought so :) I do hope you find a byer, it looks nice, and the price certainly is great. Why are you getting rid of it?

Just to be clear, it's a top quilt right? Afraid not mate, would love to take it off your hands for a winter setup, but with limited funds and time, I'm trying to be very selective in my gear purchases. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

I was tempted, but it's too warm for what I need at the moment :-) How is the general quality of the quilt, say compared to some of the US cottage vendors? Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Rule of thumb is 83% of hammock length. I too was concerned that I'd adjusting it forever to get it right. But it was far less hassle than I feared. Hang it like you normally would, with about 30 degree angle, attach ridgeline and try adjusting a bit to see what happens. I paid attention to the...

Regarding weight limits on the dutch gear you mention. I think it's in the area of 1000 lbs. Most lines will, and should break before deforming the hardware. Otherwise I'm sure theres too much tension in the rig. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

I use it as a continual ridgeline under my tarp. The tarp is rigged with soft shackle prussics in either end so I can adjust it along the ridgeline. Works great and takes up no space. Let me know if you have other questions. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

I assume you need it for a tarp ridgeline? I'm using lash-it/zing-it from UKhammocks.co.uk Lash-it is grey, zing-it is yellow. Virtually no stretch, good strength. Work with fig9's and can be spliced with a bit of fiddling and patience. I think the diameter is around 1.75 I have a fixed loop...

I would pick a lighter tarp than the DD for backpacking. It will work and is quite doable, but it's bulky and heavy compared to sil tarps. The rig7 would be a great choice I think, for grounddwelling due to nice size and all the attachmentpoints. I have used the 3x3 DD for a good while myself...

I don't think so Swallow. Pressurized stoves like the msr whisperlite and such, should function as well I think. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

I found some smaller cans, 250ml ones, that I'll be trying next time. Have also been looking at a few pictures of mini-atomics, and I think I've found that 10 jets is the proper number. Now I just have to experiment with the hight of the stove and the diameter of the jets. Great fun though :-)...

I have been making several for personal curiosity and with my students as a way of introducing crafts and various outdoor skills to them. I really like the light and no - fuss factor these stoves. Unfortunately, I've been struggling a bit with getting the jets to function properly, sizing...
