HAMMOCKS - The three big mistakes people often make
When a hammock is purchased, they usually do not come with any instructions. When I first purchased a hammock, I thought like most people. Find two trees, attach it, and then lay in it. Through trial and error, I finally found the best way to hang a hammock and to lay in a hammock.This video is how to hang a hammock and how to properly lay in a hammock.

Q&A / Episode #1 / Why not a sleeping bag / Hammock Camping
Since starting this channel. I have been getting a lot of questions. Mainly about the hammock and the tarp. For a while now. I have been thinking about doing a Q&A series. I believe it is easier to learn something when someone shows you while talking about it. Then to just text it.
So the plan is to take some questions in the comment section. And try to answer them the best that I can.

Making Big Whoopie Slings for Heavier Hammock Hangers
For more information on this and other topics please visit
I needed to make some whoopie slings for my new REI Quarter Dome Air Hammock so I could hang with the big trees around here. I had also been wondering about going a little bigger with 1/8th amsteel, rather than the 7/64th size to up the strength. The procedure is the same, but the end overall strength to forces almost double.
The average break strength:
7/64th is 1600lbs
1/8th is 2500lbs
The weight of a whoopie sling made from 12.5 feet of 7/64th was 0.6 ounce, while the 1/8th came in at 1 ounce even.
To me the 0.4 added ounce is worth the weight in accordance to the added strength added.
And I love to experiment and learn.

How To Make A Poncho Liner Under Quilt or PLUQ for Hammock Camping
Step by step instructions on how to make a DIY No Sew Poncho Liner Under Quilt for under $45.00 in about an hour or less. I show how it works and how easy it is to make a nice comfy under quilt that is good down to 45 degrees. More insulation such as reflectix or a space blanket can be added in the fold for colder weather. I added some additional mods such as more cord locks and a secondary suspension for more adjustability.
To make the PLUQ into a 3 season underquilt try adding in some insulation like Climashield. Just click on this video link for my step by step insturction on added that extra insulation and sewing the PLUQ closed.
Affordable/Common Man's Under Quilt for Newbees...
Are you new to Hammock Camping and considering switching out your camp pad/air mattress for an under quilt? Have a limited budget for camping gear and want to try out a camping hammock underquilt to see why everyone says they are so comfy and warm? Then check out this quick DIY NO SEW Poncho Liner Under Quilt made from a US Military Poncho Liner.
Check out this link for the instructions:
Materials I Used (I already had some of the shock cord and cord locks so my cost was around $45):
1 - Poncho Liner $20-$36 (Purchased mine on EBay for $36) New US Military for durability
2 - Cord Locks $2-$4 (I used 3 more than what the instructions required to add more adjustability)
230 inches of 1/8 Shock Cord - $3-$4 (Got mine on Amazon.com) I used less than recommended
84 inches of 3/32 Shock Cord - $4 (Purchased at Cabela's in a package of 45 feet)
Optional 120 inches of 3/32 Shock Cord for Secondary Suspension
2 - Plastic Nite Ize S-Biners $3-$4 (any small carabineers will work...these have a 10 lbs. limit)
Tools Used:
Scissors, lighter, small Allen Wrench
Optional - wire or coat hanger and pliers to feed cord through the channels on the poncho liner
Since I'm relatively new to the whole hammock camping scene I'm still collecting the gear I need to be comfortable, safe and warm. I did purchase a Winter 20 degree under quilt from HammockGear.com but still needed an affordable warm weather under quilt. After weighing my options and my budget (spent too much on the winter underquilt) I settled on a DIY no sew solution that was easy, quick and cheap for a warm weather option. Most of the materials for the PLUQ can be purchased locally and assembled in under 1 hour.
A resource I found very helpful was Almost everything you need to know about hammock camping can be found at this site and they do also have a book. This is where I found the instructions to build my PLUQ...with a few mods of my own.
Also check out to answer ANY questions you might have on hammock camping. These guys are awesome, friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a TON of information on the PLUQ from people who have built their own and used them for years.
And...Check out Mr. Shug Shugedy shug shug for some awesome, entertaining and educational hammock camping videos. He's also a big hammockforums.net member. No really. Check out his YouTube channel. You'll love it. He's an entertainer, juggler, unicycler and all around fun guy to watch.

How To Make An Improvised Hammock With A Wool Blanket
inspired by a David Canterbury video,(link below) I used David's configuration several times before making the changes I demo here.
the original blanket I used for this was a bit longer and lighter, it did start to show some wear at the corner knotted areas. some of that wear was due not choosing branched free of pricks that mage small tears that grew under tension.
The blanket shown in this video has been slept in in this configuration three nights with no visible signs of damage.
It has been used recreationally numerous times.
I tried this hang configuration with what I would call a vintage, course woven blanket and it stretched badly, and lost its original shape.
