Great video. If you could make a sewing tutorial for the mesh organizer, that would be awesome.

Hi. Just think of the organizer as a big rectangle. Roll the edges and sew them so they don't unravel. Then fold the top edge down about an inch to give it a channel for the ridgeline to go through. Next, fold the bottom up and sew only the outside edges to make a pocket. I think I sewed one vertical seam up the middle to divide it into 2 pockets. That's it. Super easy. Glad you enjoyed it.

What if instead of cutting hammock square, the ends were cut half-moon, such that side-rail length was longer than middle-ridge length? Yes, the continuous-loop channel would be curved. Thus, a better diagonal lay would be available in a shorter overall length (and lighter weight) hammock?

@@Luke-eg1gn - Since then, when ahead and made one. Calculated the angles to achieve a flat-lay and guess what? It worked. Was about 12" shorter along the CenterLine. Cut a smooth curve, leaving 8" straight along each side for side rails. Sewing the end-channels was a little tricky, especially at the transition to the short 8" straight-sections. It's just enough curve to keep each point level. No bumps and no troughs. Guess hammock-manufacturers agree with you though, since they still sell banana-canyons?

Came across your videos and based on your videos it looks like I may be needing a 12 ft hammock being that I’m 6’4”. Curious about what the width of them are? Even though the length helps. If you’re pushing the width out to go diagonal can’t you be comfortable in a 10’ and let’s say 68” wide or even wider🤔? Thanks. Also would a synthetic quilt stretch as well?

I wonder if the bags have improved since the making of this video? Cnoc look like a good bag but they are nearly $30 which seems a bit steep. The filter does screw straight onto the bag without any extra fittings. Extra fittings can be a pain in the ass, especially when you can't find them.

Guys, I'm having issues finding the answer to this question. When people speak of an 11' hammock, do they mean the length between the lines you attach it to a tree with? So only the fabric while laying flat? Or is it the whole hammock with lines and attachments included?
@DruLeeParsec6 жыл бұрын
It's the fabric length from tie in point to tie in point. Your slings to the tree can vary quite a bit (and will with every setup).

My dog just had CBLO surgery two weeks ago and she's already putting weight on the leg but def has moments during the day after rest where she picks it up a bit. Very similar to your dogs recovery. How was he by week 12? Was he still picking it up after prolonged rest?

I'm afraid you're not seeing what i see need to watch your own videos and think think about it. It's not the length of a hammock that is helping you it is actually hindering you in some ways. Think about this a shorter hammock like the second one. But make it wider. That way it still staple but you have the extra width to lay diagonally for what you need is a medium length hammock that is whiter

Just bought a sewing machine to start making gear. Locally, bought parachute silk and rips top is approx 62" width, full-without hemming. I've seem some hammocks with extra strips of material sewn onto each side to make them wider. So my question is: if side panels are sewn on to make a hammock wider, do they become less comfortable due to the extra seam that would pass under your head and calves? Any info???
@pyrofful6 жыл бұрын
No it's not more uncomfortable the ends will always be tighter because the person's weight is in the middle. With or without the extra on the sides the end will still be tighter. I personally only have the store bought side sticked ones but think maybe just maybe you could feel the edge where the fabric is over lapped but I don't notice it. I sleep in mine from time to time. I'm no expert but thought I could try to answer it. Welcome to the world of hammocks! Just for future reference it is rip stop fabric. Meaning if you get a small hole it won't become a huge hole and keep ripping. I knew what you ment. Have fun!
