Customer Project: Double Layer Symmetrical Jungle Hammock

by David "Fujibilly" Brashears

• OVERVIEW
• HOW DO I MAKE IT
• MATERIALS

• This was the first time I'd constructed a jungle (integrated bugnet) hammock.  I wanted to create a double layer hammock for added strength and to give the user the added option to use a light camping pad in warmer weather rather than an underquilt.  
  
  It turned out great and the products from Ripstop By The Roll worked perfectly.  Thanks!
• This is a bigger process than a standard gathered end hammock.  My recommendation would be to watch Jellyfish's video on a very similar hammock (the one she makes isn't double layered) and you can figure out how to do it with the DL design.
