Tarp and Hammock tutorial

[sandbender]

Just tried to open the zip files with stuffit expander, on the Mac, and it says it's not recognised... Know next to nothing about Macs so it could be a user error.. but any help would be appreciated..

The 'zipping' was carried out on a Mac so you really shouldn't have any problems.

Is it possible that the download was interrupted? How large is the zipped file you have downloaded? If you click once on the file to highlight it and then tap the letter 'I' while simultaneously holding down the 'Apple-Command' Key (next to the space bar) an information window will open indicating the file size which should be 13.4 MB.

Edited to add: Is it the zipped .pdf you have downloaded, bushblade has posted two links in the original post, one is for a PC slideshow, the second one is for the .pdf, this one.

Hi folks,

Quite a while ago I did a tutorial on how to set up and take down a tarp and hammock, originally at the request of Ronnie Sunshines. The sequence ended up being rather more in depth than they anticipated. In a couple of recent threads I used some of the images from the sequence to answer members questions, and subsequently made the original slide show available for download.
Sandbender has been kind enough to convert the file to a .pdf format and make the file available for download here which is much faster to download and far more user friendly.
Many thanks to sandbender for doing this and I hope people find it useful.

Probably a bit late, but I don't suppose it's possible to do a version with white background & black text for printing?

Cheers

Yes I expect so, its saved as photoshop psd's so shouldn't be too much hassle to do that.
For what reason do you ask?

So that when I'm in the middle of nowhere struggling with trying to remember the knots I can get my printout out and check

But when can we expect the extended 2 DVD special edition, with a 'making of' documentary and interviews with the cast & crew?

Just posting to keep the thread alive and hopefully people keep downloading the pdf as I think rapidshare remove it if there are no downloads.

[Pandabean]

Thanks Will. I learned a few of those knots on the woodsmoke course but have since forgotten them. Its all come back.

Great stuff Will, thanks for taking the time.

How was the Caribean ?

To quote Robin Williams 'Hot and wet!'

Was pretty good thanks, if you're on facebook there a fair few pics up. Snorkelling, sailing, deep water soloing, cave exploration and sperlunking, general exploring and of course, hammock camping

I wasn't popular printing off 175 colour pages

However it's an excellent tutorial and allowed me to set up my new hammock n tarp combo perfectly at a recent Rough Close Midlands meet

Thank you very much!

I finally got some karabinas and tapes (thanks A LOT to wolf_diver) and went out to some trees and this is a great way of putting up a hammock. Quick and easy to set up and really easy to adjust.

Now I've just got to find somewhere that will let me stay over the night :borgsmile

Asa.
