I have bought a Tenth Wonder hammock for my lad and a couple of their tarps. Good gear and you can't go wrong for the money.

I've put a link in the bushcraft beginners sticky. Or google just jeffs hammock page. I got 6m of untreated nylon off of ebay and basically created a 2.8m double layer hammock and then used power netting to make a bug net. The ends of the hammock are whipped and supported by 2.5mm Dyneema cord. For pics see the how do you hang thread. Mine is the first post.

I also made my tarp, underquilt and tree huggers. I used an electric thread injection system for the sowing :evilgrin:

For those of us still using bone needles and sinew for thread, what on earth is "electric thread injection" ? :confused2:

Men don't use sewing machines we use thread injectors.
