    Hammock materials question

    that sounds like a plan :-) Looking forward to seeing the home made hammock! I've already put in an order with my mother for one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Jura-cmCsA so might also be asking her to make a hammock if yours turns out well.

    Interesting & I wish you the best of luck. It takes guts to go against the grain of today's society so fair play to you. Worth checking out permaculture, e.g. http://www.permies.com/permaculture-forums for lots of useful info to make the transition.

    bivvy camping
