I worry this may be some form of confirmation bias or something. Because at that I was like “huh, I hadn’t thought of that, but now that I do, I think you’re right! It HAS been slightly more lately!”

Then I realized that I’ve been purposely holding off updates since August, so it can’t be true haha.

I’m not saying the same happened to you, I’m just saying it happened to me, so it’s possible it’s happening to others 🤷‍♂️😂

I think high end smasnugs do that. But yeah same, I have a Chromecast and I just sling stuff to the TV. Its tuner hasn’t been used in a decade.

Speaking of decade… I should probably upgrade that thing. But it’s big enough, dark enough (LDC, but at least not a crappy LCD), and high enough resolution for it’s size and distance from my couch (1080, 50 inches, 10 or 15 feet) that I just can’t justify replacing it. I wish it would die already lol.

Maybe if I move and get a big enough bedroom, I’ll put it in there, and upgrade to something with HDR. I really wanna get in on some good HDR. Seems like it’s getting really good and really affordable if you buy the right thing.

It was about that time…

Sprinkles taste like nothing and are sometimes ridiculously crunchy and hurt my teeth. Everything else looks delicious. I’m hungry.

Nice!

Very nice! Love the style

I like the style!

Fair enough, looks great! Thanks for explaining, glad to know I’m not going crazy lol

Hmmm, hard to say, I think I might like it better solid.

Though this way would be easier to add the dot for the third set 🤷‍♂️ more uniform with the rest

Thanks for everything!

I’m struggling to parse this, reading top to bottom and left to right, it seems like random letters? Is there an extra layer of obfuscation?

I like it! I wonder how it would look if the N were hollow?

Nope, it’s Elianscript! A type of writing obfuscation that’s highly artistic, and I just think it’s neat 😅

This one says

That’s a lot of info packed into one comment! Wow!

Ok so, that bug net, how does it work? It looks like there would be a big gap between your body and the top edge of the hammock walls? I can’t wrap my head around this.

Also I had never heard of a bridge hammock. Very cool design, I’d like to see how one feels.

And finally, I can’t picture how your put it up in the rain style hammock would work, but I love the enthusiasm. And I’ve never heard of ripstopbytheroll! I made an account, but the projects seem to just be pictures? Are there no instructions? At any rate, this has SERIOUSLY piqued my interest, and I’m contemplating making my own hammock now 🤣

It’s a problem because I already own so many, but really only one of them is the proper length for me to sleep in while hiking. The rest I mostly just enjoy setting up while glamping, so people can hang out and chat.

Thanks for all the information! Maybe I’ll take a crack at a version 2!

Speaking of flat ground, have you looked into tensa style hammock stands? The idea is that with 4 lightweight collapsible aluminum poles, a couple stakes, and some careful movements, you can hammock on flat ground, sans trees.

I’ve been meaning to build one from wood to play with the idea at home, but haven’t found the time.

I really like hammocking, and have no desire to buy into a tent/pad, etc for trips that have no trees. Specifically thinking of the Grand canyon eventually. It might be worth it to me to bring the extra weight if the poles, not sure yet.

Oh for sure, I traced that thing haha. It still ended up s little lopsided, but close enough 😬

Nice! A custom top quilt would be a cool project! Did you stuff it with anything?

A built in underquilt sounds good as well, again the question of stuffing comes to mind 🤔

Dell was my first thought as well

Thanks! I didn’t think of it as upcycling at first, but I like that!

Yeah hammocks can be super comfortable to sleep in, I prefer it to a tent. But you NEED an underquilt, otherwise the cold air will suck away your heat. Blankets in the hammock with you won’t help, because they get squished flat and lose all insulating abilities. Gotta have a nice fluffy blanket strung up snug underneath your hammock to stay warm.

Or you can put an air mattress in the hammock with you, but that’s clumsy and fiddly, in my opinion.

I’ll update with pictures once it’s strung up and operational!

Nice! Go us!
