The Hammock
I just finished my hammock. It's raining so I won't get pictures until tomorrow.
But I went out to Lakes Nicole and Harris before it started raining. I was cool laying back on the egde of a cliff. It's very comfortable, more so than I thought.
Although the hammock is fine the rain tarp isn't. I made a gross miscalculation: the instructions read that I needed two pieces of ripstop nylon cut to 8 x 10 each. Well, I only bought one piece at 12 x 5. It's plenty long enough, but not wide enough to protect against rain. Soooo, I've got to remake the tarp.
