Hello all, can't find this in the books available to me (think I need a new more comprehensive guide), any ideas? Thanks in advance. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi Adam, I used a 4m veg tan leather, I would go for a more flexible leather next time, only down to 3m. I got it from J. T. Bachelors Ltd. In North London. They have a good scraps bin If you want to experiment. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thanks dread head, they seem expensive but I'll give them a go :-) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

My first one I made for a friend, had trouble with the rivets being weak though... gotta source some stronger ones, any leads would be appreciated. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

That looks like that will be a brilliant document once completed. Unfortunately I can't seem to edit it or I'd add some carving/utensil notes.

Sounds great, I'd love the recipes If your willing. I have just finished a batch of elderflower wine, tastes pretty good, but no flowers left now, going to have to wait for the berries.

These are some great suggestions, thank you all. I'm currently brewing my elderflower wine. And have finished off some elderflower cordial, going to have to make some more :-)

First and second night set ups, only 1 tree... Still needs some tweeking

Set it all but the tarp up in the garden yesterday in prep for tonight. Need a drip line but I'm very happy. I'll let you know how I get on :D

Thanks guys, real good info here, i hope others benefit from it as much as I will. I'm going to a campsite as others are using tents but they say they have some trees for hammocks. If not.... One will do, I'll tie the other end to the van. (I'll keep hold of the keys if thats the case :-) )

Found the drip line, that ill definatly do. But I couldn't find the binner mod. I'll search harder

what is a binner mod?

That guy has too much energy. Thanks for the vid though.

Great info thank you adze, picked some more elder today as work happen to have cut a tree down, got about 50 heads out of it. This has gone off topic a bit :-) I will buy some bits and may even share my experience in a new thread. Thank you for your help.

So I'm off to use my hammock for the first time this weekend. I've got all the gear but no idea at the moment, gotta start somewhere. Anyone got any top tips?
