List: This is a report on a hanging system I tried out over the weekend. It will work if your hammock is bound with rope, and probably if it's bound with...
Two layers of 1.1 oz ripstop, inside and outside. But, I guess you could easily put something different on the inside or outside. I put my closed cell pad in...
The one I built used the large aluminum gear rings from REI on one end and a small ring as you described on the other. I just sewed them on with a loop and bar...
