My favourite DIY project has been knife making, but I plan to make snowshoes this fall.
Wow! I’ve never seen DIY snowshoes!
Made one with a tarp and rope when the grounds was way too soaked on one camping trip. Not the most comfortable but I was out of the mud
This would be fantastic for my upcoming trip to Havasupai Falls in the Grand Canyon!
Thanks for the chance to win the hammock. Never can have too many!
My favorite DIY so far to date is my backpack. It turned out better than expected :)
Always wanted to have a camping hammock for my trips.
Wow! Looking at hammocks for a potential hiking trip around the Dorset Coast and New Forest!Good luck everyone! :D
my fav diy project is the one im doing now Black on Black DIY hammock with no-see-um nettinghttps://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?p=991835#poststop would love to win one for my son
These look great! Please count me in.
We used to string our Hammocks between our VW Vans and the closest tree, start a fire and camp for days!
I just got a new hammock but the last time I did that, my teenage hammocking daughter took immediate possession of it. Maybe, if I win this drawing, I can keep one and she can get one, too. Thanks for the chance.
One can never have too many hammocks! :)
Lots of great feedback everyone!
My favorite DIY project, although simple in construction, are making lightweight stools from thin aluminum tubing and canvas fabric. Bending the aluminum is easy with a conduit bender, and after drilling a few holes, a couple of pop rivets give me a folding lightweight frame for some fabric to sew on the top to sit on.
My first hammock was a DYI, double layer and I’ve never looked back! Now both of our daughters are hooked.
We made a few hammocks from ponchos and tarps when we were in the field back in the day. Now I’m getting back into hammocking and it would be a heck of a lot easier to use a kit than engineer in the field and on the fly…
My favorite DIY was a projector screen made from the frame atop an outdoor swing and some white blackout cloth. Outdoor movie night at home!
