I can make, have made a few for people on here but I'm not a business doing it.
If you supply the amsteel I can make you them.

I got mine off a chap on ebay, for about £12 posted and they have skull beads in the loop to stop them disapearing

Thanks Res, I'll keep your offer in mind if I come across some amsteel.

Shhhh this could be may chance to make millions, well maybe some beer money, well maybe just some kudos within the bushcraft community

Granted! Much easier once you've done it once yourself with someone showing/guiding.

they are really easy to make just buy some amsteal and give it a go they take no more than 5 mins and that will be your first attempt, atb wayne

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

I agree. Just get some Amsteel and dial up you tube for a walk through. Its a doddle.

If you are concerned about messing it up have a with paracord first to make sure you can do it and that you have got your measurements right. That's what I did and followed a youtube video - it was straight forward and very easy

As been mentioned, easy to make. Matt from UKhammocks does a vid on youtube.

I learned from texasbushcraft on there.

If you fancy pimping your hammock? you can splice some whoopie hooks onto them. Used in conjunction with amsteel continuous loops. Another easy DIY job.

The only thing I changed from this set up is to make smaller loops than the standard 12" ones like you can buy.

Matt sells it all and will splice the hooks on for free

Have a go a splicing dude ! before long you will be messing about with smaller diameter stuff.

have fun !
