[jumbopoop]

[jumbopoop]

[fastdodg1]

sweet vid! people shouldn't hate on your awesomeness

[PVTfluffy]

can i just by a bedding sheet from wal-mart for like 13 bucks?

[plutoplatters]

one can buy trillion pound webbing/cord whhhhhhhhy did you use cotton rope? that would KILL !!

[Sirolism]

This video is a microcosm of the worst of the internet. Any idiot can make a video and pretend to be an expert on something he has no business talking about. Had we not seen him almost split his head open, I'm sure a lot of people would have taken is advice.

[d4n2y1]

I'd rather be riding a unicorn. look at the sewing machine

[mahaLoLolo1]

Ok, not to sound offensive or prejudiced, but... he seems a bit... um... gay.

[ninjadude126]

[DUBsekurity]

Is that a wig? You look like an idiot you stupid hipster.

[flamedrag18]

BURN!!!! HAHAHA

[BosephusBigelsworth]

[CassieLovley91]

2:22 EPIC Fail!! Lmao!!

[p4h10oso]

Ok, you should daisy chain the clothes line rope, DUH!

[themudball]

EPIC #FAIL

[hitlersminion1995]

I made one and it worked

[Alearea]

that is stupid, why did they make you take it down? It was not hurting the trees or anyone else.

[MintyPigletz]

you sound like napoleon dynamite

i bought you a delicious bass

[valere76]

ha ha you fell on your fat brain, do some research wise guy

[ScientificClown]

awkwardly, i did the exact same thing he did about two months ago...

[getmeoutofiraq05]

@ScientificClown

note to self check wt lemit on rope.

[FlamesandGuns]

o fuck bre i know that feeling of falling. i was recently thrown (don't ask) accidentally and got a minor concussion

[a918bmxr]

put a zipper on it and it will be like a giant cocoon

[virtualnoodles]

he does videos for etsy now ?!? lol!! and so funny fail watched it like 50 times

[RashadGl]

I love this . OMG. Omg 2:20. wow

[mojokiss]

be tribal!

[CombustionGlassworks]

this grumpy hater find this to be my most favorite etsy fail ever.

[reeding]

dang i havn't seen this guy since he did the make podcast

[revlisnight]

as the cops go by him XD hahahahahahahaha

[nj4x4fever2]

Lucky the clothes line didn't break on the head side. great idea. an inexpensive strong cord to use is 550 paracord aka parachute cord with the 7 inner strands. Thanks for sharing!

[geniusNOTatWORK]

Clothesline rope can actually hold a hammock up but you will need to loop it several times to relieve the force of tension. My father, some Home Depot employee, and I were discussing this today when I went to buy rope for my own hammock. However, just to put my mind at ease, I ended up getting a heavier rope. Also, apparently cotton rope is unavailable at Home Depot (or mine anyway.)

Good tutorial and Bre, you're freaking adorable! :D

[pineapplenewton1]

the average weight that a hammocks rope has to hold is 600 pounds thanks to some weird math.

[baslisks]

imagine the hammock as a particle. Assume he weighs.... 50kilos? probably more ut 50 is a nice number. now gravity acts at a rate of 9.8m/s^2. 490N. now tension is the force applied to the two hammock ropes. I wouldn't bother doing the math and get a rope thats rated for at least 500N if not more. Could of used paracord. Surprised he didn't.

[MiloGrimz]

wow the info was really great but the best part was the epic fail and "...ow" I laughed pretty hard and had to watch that scene over again three more times :D kool.

[KreatedbyKelly]

I enjoyed your intervention!!!! Thanks!!

[Cronin107]

err, stupid gay men..

[aarondkeogh]

lmao great fail

[outraged70]

hehe, he said daisy chain

[yoboboyo]

hahahahahahah u got hurt

[tinkkiou]

Yeah I was going to say, until the end, wouldn't police come by and make you take them down?

(Though when you think about it - why would they - you're allowed to lay on blankets outside but not a hammock? Hm!)

[seraphinapandora]

I don't think it would bother the police too much if it was just one guy, but when there was a huge group of people...that's when they get worried. BECAUSE PEOPLE ON HAMMOCKS REVOLT. Obviously.

[ACherimoya]

Oh my God, that had to hurt...

But I liked the hammock.

[salm000n]

how muck are they $

[rezanicholson]

ha ha ha ha

funny when he fell

dope

[friedrichsacher]

NICE Project! Go Bre. ...the falling down sequence...ouch...

[dickenz07]

Nice, im a do-it-yourselfer and an outdoors enthusiast, and have been looking for a hammock to take on long biking/camping trips...for some reason i never thought to make my own..and that looks pretty damn comfy..THAAAAANX 5/5

[westkan]

Well I coulda told ya that cotton clothes line cord was a poor choice. Next time to your testing over surfaces other than concrete. Anyway you showed some class by not editing out the failure.

[wonderwoman27229]

If you tie the rope securely to a big diaper pin, you can feed it through the fabric much easier...

[graffixskull]

DONT DONT DONT Tie knots in your Hammock line, when you lay in the Hammock the knots tighten to the point where you can't untie them. Instead tie a cheap carabiener to the ends and creat a loop system. Then unhook when done.

[concerningjane]

I would never have thought of that. Great idea!

[ishnox]

cool ima make 1

[bestestmama]

Awesome lol

I want to make MY own hammock!

~~Cheri~~

PS sorry for laughing at you when you fell. It's just...you know, it's all fun and games, until someone gets hurt. THEN ITS HILARIOUS!!!!!!

:0)

[HeyYouNotYou]

LOL this is where you're from.

[noxvet]

Awesome seeing that street sign shake so violently in slow motion.

[MIKEHAWKISPINK]

moose and twist!

[ranfranthompson]

These would be great projects for homeless or street folks!

[mehskillzpwnyou]

that was so funny when you were like "HAHAHAHAAA ouch...." Also your hair is totally awesomeeeeee

[NerdHelpDesk]

i actually made a hammock too, and it broke, i was higher though

[magicouture]

I love your use of the word "grippy." LOL.

Random thought - these would be a great give for urban explorers.

[rjaen]

LOL - the police scene at the end is perfect. Love the hammock party in the park.

[Saltygal]

next time use a timber hitch, it wont slip.

[ronnnnie]

ouch~ that must hurt a lot.

[shellgreenier]

Where did that "I'd rather be riding a unicorn" sticker come from? Yum

[ROCPAPRXIXR]

Ouch!

[SciFientology]

been there... ouch!

[jahamerican88]

lol sorry that you fell

[Sugarhigh82]

LOL that sticker on your machine RULES!! I want one for my car :o

[unicornhustler]

make one!

[Sugarhigh82]

great idea! ;D

[nesseline]

Hey Bre, it's unbelievable, I asked threadbanger to show how to make a hammock back in spring and it was plussed like twenty times and threadbanger replied to that comment with "We'll definitely do this in one of our next shows" and they never did. So I'm so happy that you do it now, I absolutely wanted to know how to do one and I'm convinced that this video'll get a lot of hits. Thank you!

[suzi80]

too cute!

[ibechane]

When I was in Merida in Mexico (the hammock capital of the world) I was told that you shouldn't sleep in a hammock with your body exactly parallel with the ropes because the dip in your back will cause back-pain. Instead, you should sleep with your body angled slightly, so, for example, your head rests close to the left edge of the hammock and your butt rests closer to the right edge. Of course, you'd probably need a bigger hammock to accomplish this comfortably. Thanks for the vid

[brepettis]

I've heard that too, thanks for bringing it up!

[VENOMOUSTESTAMENT]

lol!!

[shyone4444]

Thanks for taking one for the team Bre.... I love how you guys tied them up on the trees.... Well I guess for the short time they were up, the looked nice... lol

[dangerousmezzo]

Good lord. Our listing dollars at work at Etsy.

[DaniellaNicoleK]

I am thinking if you hook your hammock up to a tree and wrap the rope around the trunk at a 'y' juncture with a branch to keep the rope from sliding downward, you could use sections of old garden hose to put the rope in to help keep it from fraying or messing up the tree. (Did that make sense?)

[drake1636]

awesome bre!

[kylebuschfan]

awesome!, please keep the how to videos coming!!!

[masp8s]

haha how fun!

note to self offer to make cops their own hammock first

[brepettis]

When they came over, they actually were like, "OK, when do I get my turn?"

[gspahr]

Hahaha poor Bre! It hurt me too when you hit the ground.

Cool project, I want one!

[EvelineUK]

Why did the police get involved? Are hammocks in parks illegal?

[VintageSky]

WHEN YOU FELL I SCREAMED

[PokemasterMatthew]

Wow...this is sorta cool!

Cool Bre!
