Thіѕ іѕ thеn folded inside out ѕο thаt thе stitching іѕ οn thе inside. I thеn mаdе a know аt each еnd іn thе fabric аnd wrapped paracord around thе ends frοm thе know inwards ѕο thаt thе cord wουld cinch upto thе knot.

That matt works great,i have been useing one for a year ,nice. cheers mate all the best !
@thomas533 The angle of the dangle takes two to untangle. Been out today doing my own calculations and test piloting my hammock and i find your calculations to be some what flawed. I will stick with my own methods and if it fails it fails.
@thomas533 Thankyou for the physics lesson, i will have to convert this in kilograms.
When you have the hammock suspension tight like that you are really overloading the lines. This is dangerous.
For a 200lb weight we have the following tension versus the angle:
30 degrees – 200 lbs
20 degrees – 292 lbs
15 degrees – 386 lbs
10 degrees – 575 lbs
5 degrees – 1147 lbs
@Velkoze1 in the winter here in Spain it can get down to -25 degrees C (-13) but i use my sleeping bag aswell when it is that cold but yeah 0 farenheit is cold enough in a hammock. Don’t know how that fleece blanket of mine would hold up to that temperature though, would be interesting to find out next winter.
@TheBackyardBushman they work fine for me and are alot cheaper than the more Gucci mat on the market.
Let me know how well that windshield sun protector works out mate. I was actually looking at those last night but was trying to imagine how best to use it. I have a self inflating mat for my hammock but it’s a bit bulky to carry around. . . .
@stuartsbushcraftblog he’d have a big target!
I use a wool blanket as a pad for my hammock then a 20 below down bag and Ive been comfortable down to zero farenheit.
@giutoniolo Hi fellow Boonie rat. Yeah the reflector is a great idea of mine and works well here in Spain. The blanket was bought from my local market for less than 12 euros and is more than enough for the Iberic Peninsula. Liked your latest videos from Brazil. Adeus
Hello Stuart brother! I really dig that hammock you made yourself! The sun screen reflector was a very smart idea too! I got a simmlar blanket which I use here most of time (except in the winter) but mine is light green! I like yours better! Very good gear my friend! Thank you for sharing it! Take care buddy!
@Velkoze1 Oh well i take it a tree hugger will have me marked for death?Like to see him try.
You just put a permanent crook in that poor tree Stu.
