Hello Kenbo, im just outside belfast

Highlander i dont hve ne close up pics but what i mean is say i whip the hammock 15cm from the end then put the larks head in the webbing on 20cm from the end, it is slipping and contacting the whipping knot, putting pressure on it and the two are slipping up the fabric to about 5cm from the...

How wide would you advise it to be? It's 150 cm wide, il try and shift those trees tmrw :p

Hi, i have just completed my first diy hammock (see pics). I made it out of a sheet of rip stop nylon, with asym tie out points, whipped at each end in the 'W' formation with paracord and attached at each end to 1 inch polypropylene webbing via a loop in the webbing which was made into a larks...

ok cheers il check that out

thanks for the info guys, il have to give fish a shout

Hi i am going to make my own slingshot from a piece of wood carved to shape and some bands made from thera band gold but i have a few questions for anyone who has done this before: 1. is there any particular wood that is best for this? 2. does anyone know where i can buy around 1m of thera...

looks good, what did you make it out of?

for some reason it tells me im not allowed to access that page to view it :/

im liking that chair, i recon il have to stitch one of those together too

lol :p touche, so you want me to bring the food, the stove, cook the food (to perfection) AND bring the sauce??? its all take take take with you lol

gd idea, thats the way to go then

the sock idea sounds like a winner, as long as there is enough length there to cover the entire length of the hammock, i was going to make the hammock 3m long and this netting is 2.4m in its longest part however the some of the length of the hammock will be used up in lashing and also reduced by...

do you think i could modify this item so that it would hand from my ridge line down to the ground? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GELERT-SINGLE-DOUBLE-BED-MOSQUITO-MIDGE-INSECT-NET-/200526350398?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb04d483e#ht_1958wt_1199

ok i think im gona go for a couple of maillons as theyre quite cheap, does anyone know where to buy insect mesh fabric by the metre?

So would you advise against the use of paracord Teepee? i suppose the weight on the anchor points is only equal to your body weight if you are perfectly stationary and your weight is exactly evenly distributed, the 5x allows for deceleration of any movement your body may acquire (like swinging...

Teepee when you say the normal gutterman what do you mean? excuse my ignorance :)

one other quick question, what type of thread would you recommend for sewing things like webbing and leather? and does the thicker gauge of this thread pose any problems with the bobbin feed or even threading your needles?

mountainm what are mallions and where is a good place to get them cheap? Mrcharly im 80kg, someone told me that the forces exerted on the anchor points of the hammock are a multiple of your weight due to vector forces.

i was thinking of putting a break in the webbing, and using a carabiner to join the ends, would 5mm cord be strong enough? i suppose the water could still seep across the cord aswell though? Carabiners are quite expensive damn it!
