Actually you can buy tubes of high temperature sealant for sticking oven glass to the metal. I used some to repair mine, it's not cheap but if you know someone who uses it regularly about 95% usually ends up in the bin. Not sure if it conducts heat well though.

Woke up thinking about feet.

Foot box.....

Is this an insulated area in the hammock you put your feet in, or a hangy bit to take the weight off your heels when you lie in it?

Confused.

Hmm.....

Its a lot better round this way.

Even with the insulation, it isnt cooking me - although its not exactly hot.

I like hammocks.

That pic doesnt exactly pull the word "Refined" to mind though.

Its actually very comfortable like that, even if it does look hideously bad.

Decided that with the temperature just above freezing, I didnt want to try it badly enough to paddle out there and get it.

Just tried looking at this on another machine on a different isp and couldnt get the pics up.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Thats interesting.

Hadnt occurred to me to do that.

Going to think about it. The stuff Im using costs about £25.

Robbing the pond would be cheaper.

Is it legal to rob the pond?

Looks like a weed to me.

I'll try and dig out the thread I saw it on,

/e: http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11070

IIRC I saw it on a ray mears video too showing how native indians used it as insulation within their clothing

Always the first thread I seek out when i log on, always makes me chuckle to read the next 'episode' so much more entertaining than watching Eastenders etc :)
