I've grabbed the fabric to make these at at least 4 or 5 fabric stores. In my experience if they have ripstop nylon, they have sport canvass. If you are planning ahead and have the means to, try getting your fabric online. It's WAY cheaper and you can get camo patterns and shit.
Thanks...
that seems like an interesting idea. do you mean with two sleeping bags? as in one with the top against your back and then slung under the hammock and zipped while covering your top with something else? what this inspires me to do, and sorry if this is what you explained, is to basically put...
@murdermittenkid: you can usually only find ripstop nylon/sport canvas in big fabric only stores or, of course, online
@hamikman: the ripstop holds it's shape really well, but if it were to ever sag, you could just retie your knots to compensate or replace the fabric without having to replace...
I'm glad ya'll like it. I've been trying my damnedest to spread the word about this shit. I mean, come on, the next cheapest option is an ENO for like $80 and they aren't half as comfortable if you ask me.
That's fucking rad. We tried to make a fire that night cause it was pretty cold but failed cause we were too drunk. It turns out all of our friends were sleeping in the vicinity in seperate groups, all entirely unaware of the others.
No. That happens to be the one drawback of a hammock. Your sleeping bag will compress underneath you and make you cold from the bottom if it's actually cold out side. The kid who showed me how to make it carries a smaller thermarest which he swears works fine in the hammock and fixes this...
A friend of mine showed me as well as bunch of other people how to make a hammock. I have since taught a whole bunch of folx how to make one too, and now I figured I'll share the design here. I've been through two of these so far. I LOVE it!
1) get a chunk of fabric. About 5 to 6 feet wide...
