i like your video about this hammock. As iam making one too. this information saves me leaning the loop hole/pit falls of making them. you should braid or plait the ends or splice very simple and would finish yours off being so nicely built up till then i thought it was shop brought.. job well done . will show mine when finished, by the way check out my videos esp wanna die laughing. by mrshanoz
@MrShanoz Thank you, this was the first of three now. As soon as the weather is nice I'm going to make a video of the other two, alot of improvements on them, and the rain cover I made. Possibly some of the packs I've whipped up. Look forward to seeing your work

Build a bridge hammock you can turn that one into a bridge hammock for poles go to the thrift store and get old crutches they are lightweight alumunium and will more than handle it I bet you could figure a way to adjust the pole with the leg extensions. I weigh 340 and need a hefty hammock too. I was able to locate one that fit buy it is still tight but will do should I find myself outdoors beats the ground.
hey! that's a great contraption you have made there. Often, the problem is being to short in measurements. So you now have a real good picture of what you need. What sort of weight +or- were you looking to satisfy?
@usframe It's over 9 feet long so It should be long enough for the Jolly Green Giant! Weight wise around 275 I think is a nice sturdy base. I'm going to also put some pockets on the under side for gear.
i use the ridgeline from my tarp to double as my bugnet ridgeline also. my eno double wide is about the same as yours. i use the excess to wrap around me like a blanket when its to hot for a sleeping bag but to cool for not. nice job for your first try. now you know what to do or not do next time. thats a vicious wild cat you have there. lol

@Russelljmagyar initially that's what the idea was, but it was little over kill. I'm pretty sure a baby elephant can hang in this.

@FixedByDoc I'll have to try the ridge line when I finish the tarp, and wait till you see the ten pound fluff balls, they scare the sales men away.
